I had a hard time choosing a phone to replace my old one. I finally settled on Verizon's Galaxy S3. I like the BIG, bright screen since my vision is not as good as it was. I like the battery life, even though I can still drain it in a few hours (playing games), most of the time I only have to charge it once a day. I like the way the phone feels in my extra large hands.
Pros: Bright display, Lightweight, battery life, big display
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great Phone

I love my Galaxy S3 phone. Its a great performing super sexy looking phone. Everyone that looks at my phone is just amazed at the beautiful display. SAMSUNG MAKES HIGH QUALITY, BEAUTIFUL PRODUCTS
The phone is jam packed full of features. S-Beam, Wireless Video, etc.
The performance is deceptive. This phone has 2gb of RAM, but there have been more than one account where the phone seems to bog down. Especially when using the keyboard to type in any program. Not sure why the TouchWiz keyboard is so heavy on the phone.
The design is nice, I'm personally not a fan of the physical button in the center, but to each their own. I'm sure some people love that button. I much rather would prefer something similar to the Galaxy Nexus with the on screen buttons.
The value is amazing, the pricing point is perfect, and Samsung's marketing is fantastic.
The phone is big but fits perfectly in your hand, although it doesn't seem durable. Time will tell though.
Pros: Bright display, Inexpensive, Lightweight
Cons: Did not meet expectations
I would recommend this to a friend!

I love it, I do wish S voice equaled or surpass the iphone functionally but it will do. Also I would like to see something showing how to increase the memory capacity. I been told it max is 32GB, 64GB, 96GB and 128GB
I have only had this phone for a few days but I can already tell that this is the best phone I have ever owned. Tons of cool features. Easy to use. Overall just an excellent phone.
After being a previous Android user and having experience with many of thier products this phone tops them all. I recently dumped my 12MP camera and am using strictly this phone for any photo opps that occur because the features are so great. The 2GB RAM also helps keep apps open for a long time without degraded performance. 4GLTE also helps download speeds and installations/'upgrades of apps on the fly.
PIP is also nice when watching mobile movies or shows and you recieve a text message or email. You can continue watching your movie and answer texts/email on the fly without interuption.
Motion controls are also virtually flawless, although not many of them serve that great of a purpose.
The only downside is the virtual keyboard. Swype is god aweful and does not predict my commonly used words well at all. I've tried swyping the word "too" before and someone it comes out with Tokyo? Not sure how that's possible but hopefully this will be resolved when Android JB is released.
Pros: Bright display, Durable, Lightweight, motioon control, pip, 2gb ram, camera and camera features
Cons: digital keyboard word prediction is lackluster, swype does not work as well as other droid phones.
