    I personally always wanted a Galaxy S series phone and when I finally got one I was very excited .Its a very sleek phone so I would advise a Hard case for covering .I am a big fan of app storage and this phone comes with a little over 11 GB of usable storage also certain apps can be moved to your sd card.My only fusses with the phone is that galaxy should allow the s3 to update to lollipop operating system but hey what can you do haha.My next fuss is The battery life. It isn't horrible but it is little to be desired it could be muchhh better .I also expected with a name like Samsung their front facing camera would have much better quality maybe my expectations for the camera were a little too high but it really isn't bad I just wish it was a bit more clear than it is .other than that the phone is pretty good I'm using it now for this review. BTW I've had this phone for less than 5 months now

    I have always been a iPhone user, but until now this Samsung Galaxy SIII has changed my mind. This phone does more than the iPhone. I am really impressed and satisfied I made the switch.

    2nd Phone in 6 Months

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    First S3 lasted 8 days before failing. I've had this one about 7 months, and it is nothing but problems. I haven't had 4g for months, will only operate on 3g. Samsung said the Boost S3 isn't capable of operating on 4g.... Hmmm, worked fine when I got it. In mobile networks you have to switch from lte/cdma to cdma only to be able to have internet. When I got the phone, the phone switched from 4g lte to 3g just fine with the setting on lte/cdma. But now Samsung says different....... The phone always shuts down and restarts right when you are just about done typing a huge email. So much fun having to start all over. Then when it comes to copy and pasting, the phone will paste your copied text to anywhere in the paragraph it chooses, not where the cursor is. The touchscreen is horrible, most of the time you touch a icon and it opens a icon not even on the screen. Then when you are typing, if you type to long the cursor starts lagging. You can type 2 or 3 words and nothing appears on the screen till it decides to catch up. I brought the phone back to Best Buy as it is still under warranty........ Nope, they don't deal with it. Contact Samsung....... Samsung said to do a factory reset to fix the problems........ Nope, now I have lost all my stuff and still have a junk phone. I am sure they'll want me to send it to some service center across the world, and have to wait a month or two to get back the same piece of junk when they can't replicate the problems. Going to look at a different brand and probably a different store. I called my local Best Buy twice, first time it said I had 4 callers in front of me, 30 minutes later, no answer. Next time was 3 callers in front of me and I waited over 20 minutes before hanging up. I then wasted plenty of gas driving to the store only to be told they don't warranty Boost Samsung. Not a happy camper!!!!!!
