    My wife's review. She likes the phone but is not very good with technology. She doesn't like to go through multiple screens to go from one application to another. Overall she is v happy with it.

    bought this phone for my son. He loves it and has mastered a lot of the features. He liked it so much I bought one as well. Now he is teaching me how to use it. Great step up with technology. Can't wait to see what the S IV has to offer.

    I really loved my Samsung Fuse, but traded it in for the Galaxy. Have had no problems with navigation, operation, etc.. Battery life is awesome. White phone is very attractive.

    honestly best purchase for a cell phone I made. only issue is the back of the phone doesn't protect the camera lens enough without a case and after only a month has scratches and scuffing. I have a case now and all is great!

    This is a wonderful phone at an excellent price. It was very slipperly until I bought a case, Now there is no problem. I highly recommend the purchase of this phone. Best Buy made activation easy. They did it all.

    It took a little help switching from a talk only phone to a smart phone. It helped that there were classes given at Best Buy and also that my children were able to download what I wanted on the phone.

    this phone is for my dad who had a Galaxy 1 and went to the latest Iphone. He didn't like it. He didn't like the size nor the quality of the camera. He missed the familiarity of the Galaxy Samsung phones.

    This phone is okay but really want my Atrix back. While texting it will not pull up automatically my phrases without having to type every single word out. With my atrix you just put in the first word and the rest of the phrase would come up for you to select. Don't like the fact that you can't assign different ring tones and text tones for same person. Navigation on web is useless. Hate that is saves so many pages and then you have to delete them one at a time.

    This is my second smart phone. Was wanting the Note II, but was not going to wait for the price to come done. This phone has a lot of the same features, just a little smaller phone than the note.

    I was very excited to finally this phone at a great price I should say. I've always enjoyed Android flexibility as compared to Apple. When I first received the phone I was very excited especially since I had the Samsung Galaxy sII skyrocket 4G and was looking for the impovements. The Functions were great plenty of features. But I did notice something unusual. On my last Galaxy (which I had for 2yrs.) I noticed you get something that resembles a screen burn. So the first week I was in bed lights out watching a movie on the SGIII screen and started to notice small black dots appearing on the screen which were annoying while watching a movie like BATMAN. I thought maybe it was the down load. But upon further inspection I pulled down the notification bar and cleared all my messages. With the black back drop I could clearly see that this brand new unit had black spots on the screen. It almost reminded me of ink stains. So I took it back and swapped it out or a 2nd unit which was also defective. I started realizing most consumer wouldn't even notice this whatsoever. But with my prior experience with the SGII it get worse over time. Also the android operating system just freezes up to much. Right before a critical phone call my phone just froze up yet a calling was still coming in . I also use my personal cell for work calls time to time so i really need it to perform. It let me down. Very disappointed with samsung. I had high hopes but I won't pay that much money out of the gate for a phone that quality isn't up to par. So I bought an iphone 5. No problems works great not as fun as the samsung's but it just works and that's what i need. I gave it 2 stars because of 2 defective phones couldn't rate higher.

    I previously had a phone mainly for calling but graduated to this phone and really like it. I am learning new things all the time and find things are easy once you know what you are doing.
