Episode:  It’s Simply Murder

Hello My Fellow Samsung-Savvy Epix SGH-i907 Stewards,

Unlike other wireless devices in its class and generation, hidden deep within the seemingly seamless circuitry of the Samsung Epix SGH-i907 Smartphone is a  rather excellent audio control panel that will let you quickly and easily “pump up the volume”!
