World Class Phone = iPhone Killer
-This phone is amazing. The speed of the snap dragon processor is smooth and fast.
-Screen size is awesome. Very clear and crisp.
-Motion Sense is fantastic. Just imagine a phone that senses the motion of your hand and is able to perform system features.
-I can't begin to talk about the various features this phone has. From the mute feature, text to talk..just amazing..
- Battery life seems good. I use my phone a lot last pretty much the entire day.
The phone is simply amazing. Samsung did an excellent job on creating a phone that can compete with iPhone. This technology in my book is far more advance iPhone.
Con: It seems that my HTC sensation had a stronger signal. It seems my phone jumps a lot on 4g and E on Tmobil network inside. I'm keeping a close eye out if it happens outside my house. The only con I have.

This phone is.
This is a good phone and it is worth the investment. the phone is thin light it may have a large screen but that is okay, it can actually run the programs that Google offers. The sound quality is wonderful download speeds are amazing.
I have heard about problems with predictive typing but it does give several options that typically have the word you are trying to type in. The feel of the phone is nice it cleans up nicely...
the one con I can think of is battery life could last longer...

Best smartphone ever made
This is by far the best phone I've ever had and I've had many. I've been following all the rumors, leaks and hype surrounding this device for about a year and it hasn't disappointed. Also even though it's made entirely out of plastic, it feels like the high end, premium device that it is.
Pros:
-Huge beautiful 720p HD screen
-Pentile display is NOT an issue
-Very lightweight
-Extremely fast and "zippy" despite not having the international quad-core processor
-Great camera
-All the "human" features work well
-Fast T-Mobile data connection
-Great for gaming
-Huge, long-lasting 2100mah battery
Cons:
-Terrible predictive text
-Gets rather warm with regular use
-TouchWiz (this isn't really a "con", I just prefer other overlays)
-Media Gallery is confusing and clunky

Awesome Phone!
This is by far the best phone I have ever owned! I was sold on the face recognition alone. As soon as it was activated and i put in my gmail information, It started to download ALL of my apps. I have too many pro's to name. The one and only con I have would probably be the battery life. GREAT PHONE!!!

And the NEW CHAMPION of Smartphones!!!
Wow, Wow, Wow and even more Wow...
I had to start off like that because this phone is nothing short of amazing and will not disappoint you if you choose to get one. The phone is very fast and very sexy in the hand. I am a Galaxy fan by using the Galaxy Vibrant, Galaxy S2 and now the Galaxy S3 and don't plan to leave the brand. Each upgrade has been a improvement in all avenues each time.
Pros:
Screen Size
Excellent Screen color and clarity
lightweight
speed
Android 4.0.4 (ICS)
battery life
camera
multitasking is way better from the speed and memory
video overylay
listing of videos on phone are in an active list (wow)
Cons:
predictive text (i have to agree with landotheripper)
-i've already installed swype and swiftkey
not stock android (touchwiz is good on this but I prefer stock if possible)
Price $$

Wonderful But...
It's a great phone, Size is big but not too big that you look like an obsessive phone/tablet junkie. Very very thin but sturdy. ICS works Great. It's android so the apps are good.
Here are my 3 CONS:
1. The hardware skin (you know the thing that gives it its unique home look) is TouchWiz: it freezes/crashes at times. You can wait a few minutes (1 or 2) and it will ask you if you want to turn it off. Say yes and then it will work just fine.
2. No customize TEXT sound/ringtone for contacts. Only for direct phone calls. If your personal contact texts you its the same sound/tone for everyone!! THIS REALLLY ERKS ME to NO END!!
Especially since we now live in a world of texting for when we CANT TALK OUT LOUD!!
Knowing who's texting before hand it a must.
3. If you use "Documents to Go" it will not recognize your own personal SD card. Samsung has listed it's own internal drive as a separate SD card so that is the only SD card that Documents to go will recognize. This sucks for us Business Folk!
