OMG! This phone is the reason by Samsung is on TOP!

This is my second Android phone by Samsung. And I absolutely loved the Droid Charge. So when I got this phone, my expectations were very high.
And, this phone meet everyone of those and some more!
It is undoubtedbly the best hardware in Smartphones across. The screen is so sharp compared to Charge, which was already the best in the market.
Apart from other features, I just tested the Wifi Hotspot feature. It worked flawlessly for my old iPAD. When I got back home, I simply turned off the Hotspot app and it switched to my home Wifi - flawless.
And, the battery lasts over a day. With all this hardware - Wifi, Bluetooth, 4G, GPS - this phone uses battery like a miser.
I like the face recognition security feature - it works well. But it got a bit annoying when I am trying to turn on the phone in low light. So, I had to turn it off.
Can't believe how thin it is. But due to screen size, it is quite full in my medium sized hand. Still trying to figure out what type of case will work best.
One disadvantage compared to the Droid Charge (my previous Samsung phone) is that it does not have an HDMI output. But I heard you can get an adapter from the USB port.
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Durable, Realistic color, Lightweight
Cons: no hdmi output will need an adapter
I would recommend this to a friend!

I upgraded from my old Incredible (1st generation). This is change like night and day. The battery easily lasts all day (web surfing, texts, phone calls, gps, wifi, 4g, lots of data). It's thin, gorgeous screen and 4g rocks with netflix etc
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Durable, Realistic color, Lightweight
I would recommend this to a friend!

Amazing

I switched from an Iphone 4s and to say the least, I'm amazed at what this phone can do. It can do everything the iPhone 4s can do and more. If you have 4G LTE in your area, you will not be disappointed.
The I'm able to watch moives, download apps, and music in seconds.
Two Con that I didn't like was that I have to manually download all my emails completely by pushing the download button at the bottom of my emails when I open them. The second one is moving the cursor. Takes multiple attempts to move the cursor around while typing in any app.
On the plus side you can Connect your phone to a HD TV via HDMI with an adapter sold by Samsung. Able to watch movies, play games on the big screen and even able to connect Keyboard and mouse via bluetooth while connected to the TV. They do sell an adapter Micro-USB to USB that allows you to connect USB devices such as Storage devices like a Flasd Drive/ThumbDrive, even USB Keyboard and/or a mouse. Witha powered USB hub you can connect mulitple Things to it like keyboard mouse, or even multiple USB Drives.
So far the pro's outweight the cons.
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Durable, Lightweight, good battery life
Cons: hard to move typing cursor, email dont fully download

Samsung Galaxy III S Pebble Blue
on August 21, 2012

Purchased two of these new cell phones. Most features are nice except for one! We do not appreciate the fact that in order to use most functions, Google FORCES you not only to create an account, but to be connected to it for the functions to work! It is impossible to track what private information is leaving our phones and being distributed between Google and other companies! We are big on privacy issues and to me, this is a big one! Other than that, the phone itself gets a 5 star rating for design and functions. I would have liked a black case and adding a protector takes away the thinness.
Pros: Bright display, Lightweight
Cons: google takes over your phone!
I would recommend this to a friend!

Awesome Phone

This phone is hands down awesome. UI is really smooth, and the phone comes with many cool features. I will admit that some of the features dont work that well, but they help push innovation and are helpful when they do work. One downside which I guess isnt too bad is that I personally feel the screen is a bit too big. Wish it was at the most around 4.6 inches. 4.8 is a bit big for my hands. This phone also has amazing battery life, which is very critical when it comes to picking a phone. Overall this phone is awesome, cant wait to see what samsung will put in the next one.
Pros: Bright display, Durable, Lightweight, battery life, smooth ui, novel features, thin
Cons: Too big, novel features
I would recommend this to a friend!
