    I think the Samsung Galaxy S III is an amazing phone. I have enjoyed my short time with it. I love the camera quality and the storage on the phone. The screen quality is amazing. All graphics on games, photos and websites are top quality. This is my first Samsung, but I'm sure to be a loyal customer from now on.

    As my first full function smart phone, I was initially apprehensive. However, this phone is so easy to use that I was totally comfortable within a couple of days, and it seems much easier to use than comparable phones from other manufacturers. Battery life was somewhat better than expected, too. Google Voice helps me avoid unnecessary keyboard entries and is quite accurate.

    The Samsung galaxy 3 is a awesome phone. I enjoy that I can use all my different social networking sites, surf the internet, and make calls with easy. The camera is great, almost better than some digital cameras. This is a great bundle of talent in one place. You will like this phone a lot if you try it.

    I had a "dumb phone" for over a year and decided to switch back in order to use pandora at work. Love listening to music. Usually have to charge it after listening to music all day. Only thing I don't like is when I'm listening to music at work and someone texts me, the screen stays lit up until I hit the screen lock button. Maybe there is a setting you can change...

    I love this phone. However, with that said, I printed out the manual because I'm having trouble figuring out how to turn on/off some of the features. The manual is an inch thick on double sided paper. It's going to take me a weekend to sit and do nothing but figure out this phone. Other than that, it is a really nice size and has all and more of the features I need.

    powerful package with a battery life that exceeds it's demand. very light weight and slim for its class. very nice except for one thing. incoming audio breaks up. this is not service related as i have used another phone with the provider. yet to call customer service. may be a resolution to the issue.

    I use this phone for business on a 2400 acre ranch. If I notice a problem somewhere on the ranch, I can take a photo and e-mail immediately to the appropriate person. If I don't have the contact number or business, I can look it up easily on the internet on the spot. This phone saves me time and money.

    This phone is definitely an upgrade from what I previously had which was the EVO. I do love the screen size and resolution. I do use the phone to instagram and update facebook and I like the functionability of those apps. I have not had any problems with the phone having a short battery life like I did with my EVO and I am a heavy apps user and texter.

    This is the first smart phone that I have owned. It does take a bit to get used to it, but the various apps that are available is quite nice. I used it to do video calls with my daughter. The one drawback it has is the battery life; I find I have to put it on a charger everyday.

    Same as the SII, just different

    I loved my SII, so I took a logical step up to the SIII when I could. The hardware is basically the same [memory, processor, etc.], but little features are different. One of the features I liked about the SII was the notification light would stay on, and with certain programs, you could control the color within the hardware limitations. That is the only thing I am sad was lost. The SIII has MUCH better battery life. I can not charge almost all day and have no problem. I do, as I did on the SII, run "Juice Defender." That helps a lot, but I did a test before I installed it...this phone is much better at keeping a charge. Another upside is the Samsung software updates, built in. Sharing capability among other Samsung users has increased, which is nifty. Now the the SII is on the same basic OS, the features that were available on the SIII are now on the SII as well. Overall, it is almost a lateral move. If I didn't want to pass the SII along to another person, I wouldn't have upgraded. I was very tempted to go to the Note II, but it still seemed big and pricey for me. Still, Samsung is always a solid choice. I have been a fan of theirs for some time now, and I hope they continue the good work.

    Nice Phone, Not Good Reception

    I had this phone for about 3 days and took it back as it had worse reception that my HTC EVO. I could not text or receive any calls in my office where my HTC EVO would. If the reception is good in the areas where you use it, it is a great phone. I returned it and went with the LG Optimus G which is an even better phone and better reception.

    Lots of features with a big thick manual. A must read if you want to get the most out of the experience and all the usability hints. It was great that the salesperson was knowledgeable about the product and provided me a personalized demo when I bought it.

    We now own three of these Galaxy III phones and just love them! They are light weight, have great apps, and have so many features. The phone charges rapidly, usually within two hours and lasts an entire day!
