It's just...wonderful. So many things to love...motion activation, voice recognition, facial recognition, magnificent camera, huge screen with great resolution, beautiful case, graceful form factor, so thin it fits in my wallet, weighs almost nothing.
And BATTERY LIFE. OMG the battery life. Coming from a first-generation Galaxy with a battery life of approximately one good yawn (seriously, often less than four hours...I chased chargers from home to car to work all day long)...having this phone go all day and still have more than half its juice is delightful.
Haven't found a thing I don't like yet. Upgraded the keyboard to a third-party app for better & faster word recognition...but the onboard app works just fine. Could use a little more volume ability on phone and ringer.
I just got my S3 and it is totally AWESOME... Great Job Samsung I got this phone mainly because I also own a Galaxy Player and thought it was AWESOME as well.
Love this phone, 2nd Android phone, 8th Samsung phone. Really Samsung never disappoints. I have the flip case, which gives the phone a more solid weighty feel. One issue, is my hands are pretty small so I have to shuffle the phone around to navigate it. Something to keep in mind if you have little hands. It's odd because the OG battery cover and the flip case one, are exactly the color, but the flip case version feels grippier and makes shuffling the phone around easier.
Only the disappearing features due to a Sprint update are a problem. They yanked the Universal Search feature, which allowed you to search the web, phone, contacts, apps, music, etc. Now you can only search the web. Not to complain though we also got to preview the Music Hub, which looks to be pretty awesome, look forward to seeing it fleshed out in the future.
No complaints about this phone, its pretty awesomesauce!!!
Amazing Power, great apps, very smooth performance

I love this phone. It's sleek, lightweight, powerfull and has tons of space. Batter life has been much better than my prior android phone. My only complaint is the arrangement of the volume and power buttons, too easy to turn down the volume w/o realizing it or I accidentally hold the power button down w/o realizing it.
Cons: volume button placement, power button placement
I would recommend this to a friend!

I am extremely satisfied with this phone and I have yet to learn all of its bells and whistles. I actually purchased one for each line on my account. I would recommend this phone to anyone who is in the market for a new device! Many folks make a big fuss about the design and material of the phone...hogwash! The phone is the hottest piece of mobile technology on the showroom floor. Just wish Sprint carried the red colorway...
