I found that I was able to locate and operate most features without using the manual since I am familiar with smartphones. It is fast and has good clarity. Only had it a week but I think I will like it.
I went from having an old slider phone to this user-friendly smart phone and just love it! I'm quickly familiarizing myself with the features and wish I would have gotten this phone a long time ago. Very easy to use!
The instructions for use are not clear - or my phone isn't working properly.

I have trouble using features like the voice recognition and the swipe. Swipe decides the word I am trying to use and will keep putting that in place of what I want. It is time-consuming to try fixing the problem and you can't use swipe without it Therefore, I turned it off. The voice instructions are vague. I stopped trying to use it out of shear frustration. Some features are great or OK.
Pros: Bright display, Durable, Lightweight
Cons: Did not meet expectations, can't get things to work right.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I'm a sales person for a cell phone carrier, and anytime a customer is looking for a smart phone I take them straight to our Samsung wall. I've tried just about everything out there, but I always go back to Samsung. The S III has been the best phone I've ever had. I use it for its camera, MP3 player, and when I'm bored at work I use the 4g capabilities to look up pictures of cats. I'm also a college student, and I can't tell you how many times it has saved my life. When it comes time for a new device, I'm going to choose Samsung. Again.
Phone is very stylish and has an easy user friendly interface however, mine is particularly slow! I have done the updates and try to keep unnecessary downloads on it. It even has slowed down my text messaging. I have antivirus so its not that! Camera isn't as great as it was when I first purchased it. It is still overall a great phone!
