Guessing we won't be able to actually use it until Friday? Still exciting to see it on my phone.

I am still coming to grips with this thing still being a thing.
Is there any way that this is just some shitty stop gap solution until something better is done at hardware level?

Thanks all. Managed to download it as well.
Downloaded, though the service is still under maintenance, so I can't log in.

Yup. I just downloaded it on the US App Store, but the app won't let me sign in.

Thanks for the link. Tried to sign in with NNID and it says that server maintenance is going on, but I'm assuming this won't go live until Thursday midnight.

Nooo, its one of those apps with a non-fitting title.
Disclaimer: I do not own a Switch.
So... I am wondering, is each game specific service downloaded locally to your phone or is it more like a webapp/webportal. If its the former, and they have services for most all multiplayer games and it has the data/icons/sounds on your phone wouldnt that take up a lot of storage, since you have to have different assets for each game?

They could have easily avoided that by just using "Switch Online". Oh well :/

Ask me about the GAF Notebook
Says down for maintenance in the US for me on my S8+ when I load the app.

Apparently you can't use any other phone apps while using voice chat.

As someone who never finds it in his budget to buy a headset, I actually like this idea. Now, let's just see if I actually use it!

Didn't Verizon phones turn off most of the phone's functionality while talking on the phone, too?

I too noticed this immediately - that's a real eyesore, but it's still pretty cool/exciting to have this app in a place of prominence on my phone.

Hah....hahahahaha....aaaahhhh. Oh god, this is going to be awful.
Well then.
You can, voice chat just gets temp disabled. Just like how any other app works. It gets suspended then loads the other app. When you're done with the app, it wakes the app back up.
I think you should read that again.
Unless there is another part in that picture.
The thing work like Twitch app. It turn itself down when you exit it, and restart when you open it again.

I can only laugh.
What voice application disables itself completely if you check a text?

Doesn't that mean the same thing though? You can't use it while other phone apps. It just goes to sleep. Then starts again after you go back to the app.
That was a CDMA limitation VoLTE solved that issue
The wording in that image is kind of weird. Obviously I can understand if I'm talking on the phone, but do they really mean that if I even simply flip over to Messenger or open up Chrome, I'm ceasing voice chat?
