I got this SIII a month ago. I know that samsung already came out with the S4 but since the price dropped significally on this phone I got curious and thought to check it out since I've heard a lot of great things from others. My wife has the iPhone 5 so I had the chance to compare them side by side. Features on this phone are way better such as the camera, the screen size, and the straight forward adding of music collection I have is as simple as copy and pasting into the music folder. No need to go through i Tunes. The only drawback is the build quality... Samsung should have avoided using plastic in the back.

I got this as my 2 year upgrade and I am so pleased. My other option was the iPhone 4s. This phone is far superior in every way. It's gorgeous, insanely fast, easy to use. The camera is absolutely*sick*. My pictures are better than the ones on my camera. They are so clear. I posted one with this review The onludownside was the size. It was huge at first but after about a week, I acclimated. The size can make texting funky if you don't pay attention.

I had been sitting on my upgrade for several months while waiting to see what SGS4 was gonna be ... and SGS3 ( at only $50 ) was the better option IMHO because it can do pretty much everything the SGS4 can at a cheaper upgrade price. I actually got mine as a Father's Day gift and am really impressed with everything about this phone. ( my previous phone was the Samsung Epic4G , which was a great phone in it's own right ) I don't think anyone will be disappointed with this phone ( especially at this price ).

Love, love, love this phone. So easy to use. Practical foolproof. Would never go back to my old BlackBerry 9330. Now I see it was like using 2 cans & a string.

I upgraded from the Motorola Droid X and was pleasantly surprised at the ease of use and connectivity of the Galaxy SIII. Furthermore, the screen is larger and has better definition. Lastly, the phone has great speed and ample memory. In addition, there is room to increase memory by adding a micro SD card.

This is my first Smart phone and I don't have any comparisons to do but I am completely satisfied with it. Excellent picture and sound quality, easy to use and upload apps, right size. Battery life is short but I keep track of it from battery icon and charge it right away before I completely drain it. It works for me.
