I checked out many phones on line and in store. I found that this phone was a fit for me. This is my first time to have a internet plan w/phone, but seems to be easy to work and set up. Really nice phone and enjoying it...
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Durable, Realistic color, Lightweight
Cons: couple of items not covered
I would recommend this to a friend!

High quality hardaware, excellent OS.
Wishlist - I'd like a docking station that can enhance the phone and fully use it's processor eg attach keyboard and monitor for development etc
The position of the buttons on the sides interferes when holding in landscape mode. Maybe a way to lock them in that position?
I would recommend this to a friend!

Have been hearing about this phone for some time. After purchase, I am happy to say it has lived up to the hype and beyond. Very fast, beautiful screen and very responsive.
Only real downside is the speaker is not very loud.
Pros: Bright display, Inexpensive, Lightweight
Cons: poor speaker
I would recommend this to a friend!

Slippery to hold, sensitive external keys
on July 31, 2012

My wife and I both got new phones - mine was the S3, hers was not. I can pick up her phone with my fingers touching the area where the power key and volume keys are and I never accidentally turn the volume to zero or power the phone on/off. Yet with my S3, I do this all the time. I have big hands and when I hold the phone, I am constantly pressing the external keys. In addition, my wife's phone has less rounded edges and never slips out of my hand. I have dropped the S3 several times because it is so slippery.
The S3 also does not receive as strong a signal as my wife's phone. Is this a difference in antenna or is this a software issue? - I don't know. My phone is looking for service, and my wife's has 2-3 bars.
I find the phone hard to see in sunlight - even with brightness set to the highest value.
Software - Mostly, I like this phone. I had a lot of trouble getting ALLSHARE to work properly (connecting) - but once I resolved this by installing ALLSHAREPLAY, then I am seeing more files on the PC than I want. My SAMSUNG DVD sees only what I specified in ALLSHARE. It seems ALLSHAREPLAY adds additional shard directories that I don't want to see.
I have had the phone for two weeks now and am seriously thinking of returning it. If the case I ordered does not help resolve the external button issue, then the phone will go back.
Pros: fast, runs ics
Cons: slipery - need non-slip case, poor design of external buttons
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Love the display

So far so good. Some features don't work to well like the svoice, but that was to be expected. Tap to top doesn't work most of the time, i'm not sure why. Still getting to know the phone, lots of things to discover. Over all I love it and would recommend to anyone.
Pros: Bright display, Lightweight
I would recommend this to a friend!

Starting to love this phone
on August 2, 2012
Posted by: NOTaCYLON
Was initially disappointed so much by my carrier's lock down of this device that I mostly ignored it while deciding if I was going to return it for something slightly older but more open.
After spending time with the SG3, I am liking it more and more everyday. Besides all the tech they shoved in this wafer-thin beauty, the software provides lots of great features and tweaks that I used to HAVE to root to enjoy.
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Realistic color, Lightweight, thin, large display
I would recommend this to a friend!
