Excellent smartphone, with super fast speed using Verizon's 4G network. I love the thin design making it easy for me to keep it in my front pocket. I'm a Ham Radio operator and love the EchoLink App that allows me to operate on the 2 Meter Ham Band. I use the internet to watch videos and movies and have been able to do so with no buffering problems using this phone. The only improvement could be in the battery, since it will only last about ten hours before I have to charge it again. This might be due to the large number of videos that I watch online.
This is my 1st smartphone. I bought one for myself and my wife. I did a TON of research, and chose the S3 because it is android and had a high-def display. I found that for my moderate use, my phone usually goes 2 days on a charge. I Just LOVE this phone and especially the large screen.
I have had the phone for about a month now. Here is what I've experienced:
- Great battery life. I am not a BIG user, but I can easily go one full day w/o charge. I took the phone on vacation and used the web browser, camera and a few apps all day long. Plus made a couple of calls and still have > 40% battery when I got back to the motel. - The camera ROCKS! Sooooo may options to play with and great picture quality. - The bluetooth connection to my 2010 Camaro is great and the sound is clear. - The phone is VERY light. even with the protective cover I added it's very easy to carry around. - I have to say I LOVE the larger screen. I know it's big compared to others, but the quality is great and easy to read.
Pros: Bright display, Durable, Lightweight, great camera
Cons: none for me
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great phone overall. Very well rounded, it works well in every aspect. Great gaming experience, the call quality is fantastic on the Verizon 4G network..
I've had this phone for a week and a half at this point. I upgraded from my two year old Samsung Fascinate. Still getting used to it, but so far I like it.
Pros: Bright display, large display :)
Cons: battery life :(
I would recommend this to a friend!

This phone is everything I would want in a smartphone, it's fast, has a bright screen, touch wiz works great for me although a lot of people don't like it ...overall this phone fits everything I need and when jellybean finally rolls out which I know may be awhile on Verizon this phone will be even better. I love my GSIII
Cons: Poor quality, wish it were made of better materials..no jb yet
I would recommend this to a friend!
