    Can I make (proper) phone calls on this thing?

    Can I make proper mobile phone calls (not VoIP Google Talk etc.) on this? I see it has Samsung's 'Phone' app software, and in some photos I see the missed call icon in the notification bar; but I can't see any reviews addressing this issue one way or another.
