The sIII does everything i need it to do and keeps surprising me it what it can do. My only real gripes which can be easily overlooked is that Touchwiz is a little weak on any customization and email client for exchange is not as robust as some other competitors. All in all though, i would not trade it for any other.
I have to say, I have had this phone for one month now and am very pleased. I had a blackberry 8330 before this. The large screen is awesome. Can actually see my attachments in emails now. Could not on Blackberry. I would definitely recommend this phone to someone.
This the second smartphone I have owned and is the best of the 2. My oldest son has an iPhone 5 and I like my Galaxy S3 better by far. The screen is a great size. I wish the brightness could be better when outside. Exceptional quality and very "smart".
Pros: Bright display, Inexpensive, Realistic color, Lightweight, good size screen
Cons: screen brightness not good outside
I would recommend this to a friend!

This is the best multi carrier phone out. All the features are unreal..
This phone really is just simply amazing. After a month with it I am now confident in saying that it is by far the best phone I have ever had.
I have had a few other smart phones and several clamshell style.
This phone has given me the least amount of issues of any kind. my reception seems to be far better than I previously had and the call quality is also better (on the other end) people actually asked if i had a different phone so it was noticed.
Other android devices that I have had in the past were either too slow or had major software issues or both. they would constantly lag and crash apps that came preloaded on the phone. so far the only issues with apps lagging or crashing are 3rd party apps that were processor intensive like games.
The battery life is actually fairly good. it is no where close to old clamshell phones but that is understandable (though i do miss going days without charging) but it is far better than any other smartphone i have had. I keep mobile data, wifi, and gps on at all times and have power saving disabled and can still go the whole day. If i am going out i need to charge it but in the past I would have everything turned off and sometimes need to charge at lunch time.
The only thing i have to say against the "phone" is that it does not have Jellybean from the factory. The fact that I am still waiting for it is irritating but I understand it is not Samsung's fault and it is my carrier that is causing the holdup. But to be fair as a Software QA engineer I also understand shipping quality bugfree software is the best way to ensure your customer doesnt call you with a complaint.
As a side note all of my previous smart phones that I have had were very quickly sometimes within the day of getting it rooted and flashed with custom firmware. I have not done that with this phone because I do not feel that I would gain anything of great importance in doing so. THis may be the best testament to the actual quality of this phone, the fact that it really doesnt NEED anything to be fixed it already is that good.
Pros: Bright display, Inexpensive, Lightweight
Cons: lack of latest software, bootloader is locked
I would recommend this to a friend!

Everything works great. Very good display. Only thing I don't like are the "soft" menu keys on the front. Would be better if they were hard keys. Too easy to touch them and do something you don't want to do.
