    I had pre-ordered the iPhone 5 to replace my iPhone 4. Of course it wasn't available on debut day so I had to wait about another week for it to arrive. Once it did I wasn't that impressed with it. Other then the additional line of apps and the fact that I now had access to Siri, the phone was just like the one I had replaced. My husband talked me into trying out the Galaxy SIII even though I was a little worried about trying to transition from Apple to anything else. Once I had the SIII in hand I started to love the phone. It was simple to navigate the screens. A lot of the apps I paid for through iTunes are now free from Google Play. The voice quality of the phone calls is much better then iPhone. The navigation on the phone works wonderfully also. I'm so happy I made the switch.

    At first I was intimidated by my new data phone but I began figuring out one application at a time and now have at least some knowledge of most of them. There's still a lot the phone can do but it's not necessarily things I need or use often so I will learn these too but just not right away. I am very happy with this purchase and feel fairly confident moving into the 'data age'.

    We switched from the iPhone 4 to the S3 and my wife and I are both glad that we did. This phone has lots of great easy to use features that come standard. The battery life lasts all day and recharges very quickly. Great camera and great screen size

    battery life is horible

    The first day with the phone the battery lasted 3 hours after a full charge. The 2nd I got a little less than 4. Made several adjustments and changes to battery usage settings and now I'm getting around 6. I work 12-16 hours a day and do not have access to a charger while working. My old "basic" phone lasted 2 days or more on a charge. Makes having a cellphone pointless if it doesn't work when you need it! Very disappointed!

    This was a great solid phone, I used it for both personal and business. It was a great workhorse and did everything I asked of it. It was my first Android phone after moving from an iPhone. The only complaint I had was the battery would seem to go very low very quickly. Other than that it was a great phone for everything I threw at it.

    Phone is great! Screen is huge and everything works perfectly. Didn't need the newest model that is out for a large amount of money, so went with the model below and saved a ton of money.

    Samsung smart phones are easy to use and a reasonable price making it a great first smart phone for my teenage daughter. The android system is easy to set up and use, and she can connect to the wifi at home and school.

    I like that this phone is bigger than most. But it's not too big, you get use to the size of it. I like the default text message program. I like that there is a lot of help on the internet if you have any questions about the phone. I was always jealous of iPhones but do not like Apple products and this is a good alternative.

    Only thing I don't like is that the battery runs down fast.... But I am on it all the time. Playing games,facebook,calling.... :) I have a otter box cover and it makes it harder to press buttons, but that is the Case not the phone. I love the phone.

    Nice big, beautiful screen. As a longtime iPhone user, I found Droid system not so user friendly. Kept dropping emails from list. Typing on the screen very frustrating; way too touchy screen. Sound not great. Ended up going back to iPhone...I do miss the big Galaxy screen, though.

    Bought this device to receive work e-mails in a secure way. It works, but having to log in each time to meet minimum security requirements is a pain. Otherwise, this is a cool, inexpensive device, with expandable (mini SD card) memory and lots to keep you entertained.

    Great phone with lots of features. The phone its really fast with great internet speed. The battery life however is short. I would recommend a much longer more powerful battery. Apps are very easy to get to and download. Very user friendly software with great upgreads.
