Great product. Wish the side buttons didn't line up with each other. The Power/Lock button needs to be on top so you don't keep hitting the volume buttons on the other side. Otherwise a great smartphone.
Pros: Lightweight
Cons: side button design
I would recommend this to a friend!

Best Phone on the market; Bar None

I have owned all the iPhone since each was released. I had been waiting for Android to mature and Samsung to put together a phone that had everything I wanted, hardware wise. This finally happened with the S3. I pre-ordered the second AT&T had their website go live. I love this phone and all of its capabilities to include playing games with a wireless PS3 controller. Camera is outstanding. Display may be a hair shy of the crystal clearness of the tiny iphone screen, but you really have to look close to see the difference. This is a must buy phone!
Pros: Durable, Lightweight, 2gb of ram, 1.5ghz dual core cpu, expandable memory, replaceable battery, large 4.8" screen
I would recommend this to a friend!

This phone is great, I miss having Siri, but to be honest I only used it a few times. The screen is great, size, color, and clearity are all top notch. I have am having to relearn the buttons as I am used the Iphone, but it is so worth the relearning.....simply this phone is a must own for all smart phone users
I have the AT&T version and it would have a perfect 5 if it interfaced with my car stereo(no mass storage) and if Samsung dive was activated like on my tab 2 7.0(AT&T's fault)
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Durable, Realistic color, Lightweight, i'm sorry you have a i-what
Cons: does not interface with car stereo, no ums
I would recommend this to a friend!

Coming off a phone with a keyboard, I was intimidated by a touchscreen phone. Fortunately, this screen is generous and the predictive keyboard is better than expected. The Galaxy S III is easy to hold in the hand and straightforward to use. This is a fine consumer electronics device, with an abundance of features, capabilities and sensors. I find myself delighted by the performance and flexibility of this phone and of Android 4.0 itself.
Raves: The built-in power saving mode can keep the phone going for nearly 2 days before another charge is necessary. It's not good for games, and the screen dims, but the phone is still extremely capable.
The cameras are quite good for a phone. In fact I had trouble with distortion because I didn't notice a fat greasy fingerprint on my lens. A wipe later and I was easily taking lovely pictures.
Call quality, speakerphone, antenna range, etc. have been a revelation and are improving my opinion of a certain US carrier.
It's so fast, so very, very fast. I haven't found an app that can make this phone break a sweat (unless Power Saving is turned on).
Nits: 1. Sometimes, Wi-Fi drops when the battery is low. I suppose it's to conserve power. 2. The cameras are speedy, but not instant. Turn on anti-shake and continue to hold the phone steady for a half second after you snap the picture. 3. The screen resists scratches (pants pocket with keys) but the plastic shell does not (small scuffs). Get a nice case. 4. Sometimes, the battery seems to drain really quickly, often in areas with poor service. 5. It's a bit pricy, but not more expensive than other carrier's smartphones. 6. Gets a bit warm during games, but not hot.
Honestly, this is one of the best phones you can buy.
Pros: Built-in speakers, Durable, Lightweight, fast and responsive
I would recommend this to a friend!

Make the Leap!

I was really hesitant about switching to an Android based phone. I've had an iPhone from their inception. My advice...DO IT! The software features alone are great. The Samsung Galaxy S III is a brilliant phone in look, performance, and features. I thought I would have a problem dealing with its size. It's perfect. I wouldn't want it any bigger. ;-) The only design drawback are the volume buttons. They are easy to touch while watching a video. Also, it seems that the back cover is a bit flimsy and would wear easily, time will tell. The multimedia integration is amazing. You would not believe the things this phone can do with a Samsung TV or other devices. I'm waiting for the TacTiles, which I'm very excited to use. I'm very happy with my purchase.
