I paid a premium price for a cutting-edge, premium device and I got it. Overall, I am extremely happy with this device and reasonably happy with the default software configuration. My biggest complaint about the device (using its default software, not custom ROMs) is personalization -- I have a hard time feeling like this is *MY* device which I paid for, rather than something that someone else is grudgingly letting me use at their convenience on their terms; specifically, there is bloatware which I cannot easily remove (without tech tricks) and managing the icons on the home screens is a bit unwieldy.
I can never go back to a 4" screen now that I'm used to this phone. I may even want a larger screen on a phone some day!
Pros: Bright display, Lightweight
I would recommend this to a friend!

I have owned several Samsung Phones, but this is by far the best I have owned. It does anything and everything I need, I own a computer business so I am really in to new technology, The phone is exceptionally fast on the 4G market, I was just in Dallas Tx USA last week. I was able to pull 28,384KB on the 4G network. That is cruising. The screen is awesome, color, the Apps in the Google Market are great, I really don't have any complaints as you can tell. Thanks Samsung.
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Durable, Realistic color
Cons: the external speaker could be louder
I would recommend this to a friend!

I am a small internet retail owner and do business on this phone all the time. It's big screen is great for reading websites and apps. Very responsive, (I would say better than the iPhone).
Finally a new phone with a stylist! This phone is perfect for both professional and personal use. With access to android apps, this phone is a great work horse. The size is perfect!
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Durable, Realistic color
