    I was needing a new phone with a bigger screen. Did my homework for a long time before I decided on a Galaxy S III. I am so proud of it and show it off every chance I get.

    The phone! it's sleek and fast! The plastic exterior feels a bit cheap. The battery got hot a few times while charging. Good overall but still not a great phone for me.

    First smartphone for me. Love the ease of use and all it's functions. Can't seem to pick a ringtone that's distracting enough for me to know my phone is ringing.

    This phone was more than what I wanted. I am used to a simple flip phone and this is basically a computer. It's great, but I find that I don't use that many of the features, apps, widgets, etc. Imagine, I basically use it as a phone. The only problem I have with it is that it doesn't get very loud. I have it up as loud as it will go and, of course, it distorts. I have missed a few phone calls because I didn't hear it ring. Overall I don't think one could ask too much more from a phone. Having said that I miss my old dial phone in the days before we had answering machines.

    Enjoy using the S3 and the android ICS. This surely is the best Samsung cell phone product they have brought to market. Other than ATT bloatware bundled the software is wonderful and makes it easy to operate. Can't understand why anyone would want to be chained to quirky Apple and Iphone when this is product is available. Bought 3 of these for $99 each on a one day promo...a steal for $99

    Excellent phone. Easy to use. About the only thing I don't like is the screenshot option( swipe palm across the screen) it can be difficult to get used to.

    Great phone. Has all the features I was lookiong for. Price was also down if you wait for the right moment. I added Zagg screen protector and was worth it.

    I just got this phone and it is so much better than the iphone. Equal in all aspects of the iphone but is thin enough to fit comfortably in your pocket.

    I wanted a phone I could use for the next 3 years, I didn't want to jump on the Iphone bandwagon with new models coming out every 6 months. I use it to check emails when out on location, set my schedule, etc. it gets me up in the morning. I also like the GPS feature when in an unfamiliar area. I'm still learning all the functions. So far it has served me well, I'm glad I bought it.

    Bought this phone for my Fiance and she absolutely loves it. She is a photographer and appreciates how great the pictures turn out on her phone. This phone is fast and efficient when handling multiple apps. Her only problem with the phone is it has automatically shut down and update in the middle of the day a few times. The Samsung overlay for Jellybean is a little messy when playing with settings but not really an issue. The update problem has only happened twice since owning for about 3 months. Overall I recommend this phone especially for the money.

    I like my new phone very much. the down side is the battery gets used up quickly so I need to remember to put it in the charger almost every 4 hours.
