Not impressed with Samsung Flavor
on September 25, 2012
Posted by: MemphisPapa

This is my first Samsung phone. The radio performance is pretty good, but I find many of the Bloat Applications that are pre-loaded are redundant and not readily usable. The screen is hard to see unless you are in performance mode which will quickly drain the battery. Social media is spread into different apps without being able to gather them into a single view (unlike the HTC Sense*****). I had an internet connection error out of the box for the first month, but TMO care fixed it with the help of Carrier IQ. I think this product over promises and under delivers. The hardware is great, but maybe overall it will improve with Jelly Bean.
Pros: Lightweight, better reception than most
Cons: Did not meet expectations
I would recommend this to a friend!

It's been 24 hours since my Galaxy S III purchase, I absolutely love it. Tried the iphone and it doesn't compare to the service and ease of use of this phone. I'm a busy healthcare professional and I rely on my phone 24/7...I would reccommend it to everyone!
Pros: Bright display, Durable, Realistic color, Lightweight
I would recommend this to a friend!

My Third Galaxy S3
on October 22, 2012

Expertise:Intermediate
I am now on my third Galaxy S3. I have had so many issues with each of these phones, I wish I had not made this purchase. I have a lot of other Samsung products in my home and am very disappointed with this cell phone. I don't know if it's the phones T-Mobile has or the phone itself. I wanted Galaxy Notes, I have purchased two of these phones and wish I could have gotten what I wanted.
Pros: Bright display, Realistic color
Cons: Poor quality, Did not meet expectations
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.

In order to use virtually any app, one must surrender all privacy. 7 home pages is a nuisance. Blackberry is superior with respect to e-mail. It seems the purpose of the phone is as a conduit to purchase other services.
Pros: Lightweight
Cons: Too big, Did not meet expectations
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Not quite there yet.

I understand that the design was based on nature but what about a waterproof feature? Now that would make the phone definitely feel more natural as well as more functional. The front face, if put at a certain light, you actually see lettering that I guess goes on the back of the S III's face. Don't know why that is but for a high end phone, that shouldn't happen. Besides the design that I find not very attractive as the Samsung Galaxy S II i9100, the screen could have used the Super AMOLED PLUS technology which I enjoyed on my i9100 and Tab 7.7 P6800. I love features such as S voice and Smart Stay but to be honest they don't work as well as you would think. I'm hoping Samsung will give the next Galaxy, the Samsung Galaxy S IV a more competitive touch with better technology and an attractive body. Overall it has its flaws but it is arguably one of the best if not the best phone on the market right now. I recommend this phone above all other androids.
Pros: Built-in speakers, Lightweight, faster processor, very innovative features: s voice smart stay..etc, introduction of the middle home key like i9100, back of s iii mostly flat unlike s ii., introduction of notification led, bigger screen from previous flagship model., i like the blue color scheme.
Cons: Poor quality, Did not meet expectations, super amoled instead of super amoled plus display, design not as beautiful as previous flagship., all plastic body besides gorilla glass 2 screen, assembled in china instead of s. korea., t999 has no "color mode" unlike i9300, camera still at 8mp from previous flagship., no waterproof feature despite being all nature-ish, price too high for what it's worth., resolution could be better for a flagship., can get very hot at times.

Callers cant hear you but you can hear them fine

I got this phone the first day it came out. I love the phone overall. I haven't had any lag at all. The screen is very crisp and clear. However, I had to return my first one because I was having issues while on calls. Things would be fine and then suddenly they could not hear me but I could hear them just fine. I took it back and got a new one and it seemed to work fine for a bit and now having the same issues. The cell signal shows ok and I didn't hit the mute button on accident. The phone seems awesome for everyhing except if you want to use it as a phone. In the regard of using it as a phone it is pretty much worthless and extremely unreliable.
Pros: Bright display, Lightweight
Cons: Poor quality, Did not meet expectations, person on other end suddenly cant hear you
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
