Built-in TTS vs MobileSpeak/Talks

[Stephen Giggar]

You know Cy if the phone puts out heat quickly while you are talking on it; You may be able to use 
it as a ear warmer on winter days when you are out and about! <lol> Then when it gets to hot; You 
could use it as a hot plate to keep food warm or to cook with it! <smiling>

>> was so yeah it is an issue.
