I could have gotten a Nnote 2, however, the sales person said that AT&T didn't have an offer, and I found out the next day, by going to the AT&T store, that they did.
I like my S3 but I am disappointed in best Buy and will never buy another phone from them again.

Great product. Took me 21/2 hours to purchase this from Best Buy due to sales people who all had a different way to do the same thing. Love the phone (minus the battery thing) but will just get it from my carrier next time and not do it through a third party provider.

The screen size is a nice change from iPhone, and the SWIFT texting is easy. iPhone definitely was simpler, Siri a better assistant

cool features on the phone and very easy to use without flipping thru the book. the folks at BB know their stuff, too. easy, HASSLE-FREE set up, unlike what we experienced at an ATT store (try to sell you everything ancillary item and takes forever accordingly)

I am very happy with this phone. It was easy to set up, especially for a first time smartphone user. I learn several new things daily on what I can do with this phone. I'm sorry I waited so long to get it. Love the white color in a clear case, very classy.

Overall the phone is a great phone. So easy to use the apps and most everything is self explanatory. The size is very good. The screen is big enough to see pictures and maps very good.

This was the best Android phone available at that time.
Eventually the battery life went down - but worked without any problems for close to 2 to 2-1/2 years
almost a fair life expected from modern day cell phone

Converted from Blackberry

Can't believe I'm actually a non-keyboard fan now because I reallly loved Blackberry (especially back in the day). I've had a Samsung Galaxy (II and now III) for over a year now and can't really see myself going back. Though I haven't played around with this phone in extreme detail as I should (sure I'm not using all of the features), I've noticed the small things that count. The autofill when texting seems to be more helpful and it doesn't take the phone long to "recognize" names that aren't in its memory. I also love how the calendar is "smart" enough to recognize if you type "Meeting @ 5" anywhere on the day that you want to schedule the meeting, it automatically opens up the window under the 5pm hour so that you can enter any further details. I can go on. Overal, very happy with my purchase!

Good Change after using Iphone for 2.5 years

Overall a Good Smart Phone. Many options available when compared with Iphone. Clear Display. Software Quality needs a lot of Improvement. Touch Sensitiveness is cheap when compared with IOS. loose Grip when handling. Security feature is very Week. Have to completely Rely on AntiVirus for sure. Speaker in behind is not so effective when placed on a Mat or Table. Eats lots of Data when using LImited Data Plan, so has to switch off the Data Usage.
Device is looking Superb with AMOLED Display. Many Options to Customize. liked the small Enhancements available when moving from Iphone Usage to Android Software. Enjoy Watching Videos.

I have a white one and it looks great. Pictures are clear and good quality but the camera is slow to snap a shot.
I have a long commute and do not like Bluetooth; prefer speaker function and this phone is great for that.

Expected the best but wz disappointed. Returned 3 times, shuda kept 1st one that just wudnt respond sometimes when touching screen 10 times n that wz without screen protector. But everyone said it shudnt do that n i didnt wanna get stuck with a bum lemon. If only i knew then what i know now. I have not added any apps n do not have much stored on phone. The others froze a lot, screen turned black then wud lose what I typed. Texting wud be delayed greatly, wud type then 15 seconds later it wud type the letters. Spell check is NOT smart! Annoying! It didnt even have motion enable on but wud react to it n back out of webpage on its own. Wud not receive some calls or texts or the text wud show up blank. Some of the phones were more sensitive than others n wud respond to touch on the back side of phone. Hard to hold phone cz I keep pressing the side buttons. I do restart every night but doesn't help. Once this one wudnt wudnt flip picture to side when I moved phone from vertical to horizontal. Tried everything, had to restart. Sound sounds like tingy metal n sometimes loud harsh distortion to callers voice on speaker n off speaker. You tube videos wud freeze or spaz out or take a while to buffer. Sometimes it will alert me with a text or email n even show the icon but when I go to view, nothing, no new anything appears anywhere. Oh when I set the alarm clock, a few times it will go from the time I already have set like 9am n just blink quick n go to the current time. Weird glitches. Basically it does what it wants when it wants n doesn't do what I want when I want. So I reluctantly have to wait on a long line again n waste my time for the rep to swap it out again, this time I think I have to get a refurbished one that hopefully has been perfected so I wont have any more problems n dont need to keep replacing it. Its ANNOYING n FRUSTRATING!!! To say the least. Im so glad i only paid $50 even tho it shuda been free with all this hassel, n altho everytime i replaced it the price had dropped. Next time I'll try Iphone 6 or 7 whenever I get an upgrade.

I switched from the iPhone to the Galaxy SIII and couldn't be happier. This phone operates more like the iPhone than most other Android ones, therefore the switch was pretty easy. The screen size difference is amazing.

After having used other Samsung phones, this is absolutely the best one I had so far. Great sound, clear screen, and cool other features. I can really recommend this phone to anybody. You will not regret it.

I got to try out a few different phones before the Galaxy. After trying out the S3 I said "This is the phone for me".
