It's sufficient however I too do not like that my messages are read by "Big Brother". It does come in handy for sending and receiving messages and works proficiently 90% of the time. I don't like the constant updates unless it's for security reasons, I think that any other changes should be made as options. For me there are just TOO MANY things on it that I could do without and I wish I could add only what I want and use, that would make it much more user friendly for me
