coming to this phone from the nexus s is a nice improvement. not too found of the bloatware but its easy enough to disable it from within settings so it does not appear at all .. this interface is smooth and not to fast on the fade in and outs for the animation .. tho i wish it did have animation timing adjustments for the speed of the animation similar to how cyanogen mod does it. (samsung engineers take note) . Processor is quick and snappy , nice being on 4G up from 3G. this phone is an excellent meld of highspeed bandwidth and processing capacity .. I like the skin that Samsung has made for the UI over the stock android skin .. I'll stick with it for awhile and see how it works for me over a custom UI. The camera and its interface is amazing .. love the burst shot with best shot feature. nice orginization and run thru with the albums and ease to share photos. The gesture movements that samsung has included make for a more natural user experience , like looking at a contact and simply raising the phone to call ,, lots of little gestures built into the UI that just make it smooth and kool to use. Seriously one of the best electronic interfaces and platforms i've ever used for its integration of different uses and the way it brings them all togeather. Screen is amazing , turn off the automatic brightness and keep it cranked all the way up and its sublime. Def. recommend this product

I upgraded from the original Galaxy S Vibrant which was an awesome phone in its own right. I have been keeping my eyes open for my next phone after I was qualified for a full upgrade. This was by far my first choice. I have only had the phone for about a week and this phone is performing very well. I really love this new phone!
This is by far the best phone I have ever owned. It is full of great features and it is quick and responsive. So many apps to choose from as well. Samsung has hit it out of the park with this phone
The galaxy s3 is the best samsung product i have ever used. The screen is amazing and huge, but it is not as bright as the s2. The phone is amazingly fast and superior to all phones, EVEN THE IPHONE.
Pros: Built-in speakers, Durable, Lightweight
Cons: very expensive
I would recommend this to a friend!

With all the hype over the newest iPhone I was hesitant to buy a new phone until I could check out the new iPhone. Unfortunately, or I should say fortunately,my old phone took a turn for the worse and could not be resurrected. My phone store salespeople suggested I check out the Samsung Galaxy S III. I'm glad i did. As an old guy that's not very tech savvy it scares me to death having to deal with new technology every time I get a new phone. As a person that runs a business by cell phone the learning curve to get back in the game so to speak can be exasperating. Not so with the SIII. This phone allows me everything a mobile phone can do as well as most functions I use my netbook or iPad for. Easy to transition and learn all of the awesome new features. Thanks Samsung. You've made a believer out of me.
Pros: Bright display, Inexpensive, Lightweight, easy to learn how to use.
