    I would love to see better clarification on the camera however the features are amazing! I love the block call list. Now i dont have to add another app just to block unwanted callers. I love all of the synchronization and it was very easy to find a case. However i would like to be able to set a screensaver instead of the color coded screen that pops up. It is pretty but i would love to be able to customize it.

    I am one who buys phones out of total necessity and I am a HUGE Samsung fan. I have previously owned 4 Samsung phones. I currently own a Samsung HTC EVO 4G and I was in dire need of an upgrade. After much research and consideration, (I buy nothing on a "whim". Research is key!) I decided to purchase the Samsung Galaxy S3. I am totally aware of the S4 and S5 models however I felt that the S3 would totally meet my needs. I've only had it for 2 days and I absolutely LOVE everything about it! I stayed up all last night setting it up and exploring the many wonders and functions of this phone. First of all, the sleek, clean appearance is 2nd to none. It is physically a beautiful phone! The large 4 inch screen and larger print of the letters and numbers are so much easier to read than any other phone that I have ever owned. Even typing on the keyboard is a pleasant experience. I can type at ease with no missed or mistaken strokes of any of the keys. These small keyboards can sometimes be challenging for us women also, lol. You certainly cannot beat an upgrade from 4GB to 16GB of internal space. I purchased a 64GB SD card along with it so I have an eternal amount of storage space. Of course there are tons of pre-loaded apps, many that I have yet to explore. I charged it this morning and it has lasted all day and is still charged however in order to combat any battery life issues I purchased some extra batteries. I do this with ALL of my phones and I treat my batteries like American Express. I never leave home without them. I carry them with me at all times. I have a business and occasionally I participate in events and trade shows. I use my phone to run credit card purchases and I can never risk being in a situation where I have no access to electricity. All of you entrepreneurs are aware that this does happen. Sometimes the shows can run for many hours and having extra batteries is all of the security that I need. Please purchase extra batteries for your phones whether you are in business for yourself or not. In addition to the phone, the SD card and the batteries I also purchased a phone case and a few screen protectors so that my new phone is very much pampered as it deserves to be. I've owned Androids phones for several years and aside from a few, (well actually many!) new features that I will have to familiarize myself with later I was able to easily navigate through the setup process. I immediately imported my massive song playlist, (approximately 1,000 songs) which it easily accommodated and listened to it as I worked on my phone. It was amazing to see that after uploading all of my pictures, (thousands of them which I need to promote my business and my websites. I am in the clothing/retail industry.) my music and the apps that I need I only put a dent in the storage usage department. Unbelievable! I've been with Boost Mobile for a few years now and I am paying $40.00 a month for all of this? Need I say more? I honestly cannot say that there is anything that I do not like about my new phone other than the fact that I wish that I would have gotten it sooner than now. I would definitely recommend not only the Samsung S3 but also Boost Mobile service so that you're not paying an arm and a leg for your phone service as many people do. If you are a Samsung fan and you're on the fence about this phone trust me, if you purchase it you will not be disappointed. I approve it! Go for it!

    We have 3 galaxy 3's! We like the bigger screens. Mine after a year and half is beginning to show signs of wear. Or maybe I just need a new battery! Daughter wanted a 4s but the 3 was on sale. When we went back they were sold out! Maybe the 3s isn't the newest version, they still sell well!

    I had this phone for about a year and dropped it (no Geek Squad coverage) and needed another phone quickly. Tried a different phone and was so disappointed I ran back and traded it in for another Samsung Galaxy Slll. Easy to use, great camera (sell stuff on Amazon and eBay and take lots of pics). Just an all around good deal unless you really need the newer Samsungs, but all I need at a low price with Boost service.

    It responds nicely. What I mean by that is some phones I have had were just either too touchy or not touchy enough in the sense of the touch screen. It is very fast and takes excellent pictures as well. For the price it really makes it a great buy. It is such a great phone I bought 2 of them for both my wife and I.

    The phone is great but the battery life sucks ! The size and overall quality of the phone isn't bad. I would just appreciate it if the battery didn't need to be charged more than once in a days time.

    For me this phone is an upgrade and although there are now better phones out there, this one is perfect for me. The colors are rich and sharp. The camera is excellent and the sound during calls is nice and clear. It's a very user friendly phone.
