Re: Galaxy S3 For what it's worth, I had read that Touchwiz was supposed to be reduced on this phone (from the S2 version).
Personally, the different UI's usually don't bother me too much. Right now I am using Tmobile's G2 and it's UI is pretty much stock Android. There can be something said about some UI's being better then stock. People have good things to say about HTC Sence.
I'd _LOVE_ to get the S3 but TMobile's website shows it for around $575 for me. That's too steep for me to pay. I think I'll call them and see if they would sell to me for $350. I'd pay that. It's possible my upgrade status might improve next month so I might need to wait.
I really do like what I'm reading about this phone. |

I just ordered one for my wife from VZW.com as well. She's still using the original Fascinate so this will be a nice surprise for her.

| Reminder: Anyone on Verizon has just a couple days to pull the trigger and get a new device if you have an upgrade available and want to keep unlimited data if you have it now. Starting June 28th you'll be forced to take the crappy family share plans or a capped data plan. |

Not true. If you want a subsidized phone yes but you can buy a phone retail and keep your unlimited for now. |

I was due for an upgrade so I went ahead and rolled the dice and ordered one. Supposedly I can keep my unlimited data plan. We'll see if Verizon tap-dances their way out of that verbal promise when the phone gets here.

| If for some reason my unlimited data goes away when I activate then Verizon will get the big FUCK YOU and I'll go to AT&T. I've stayed with Verizon for the superior network coverage but the more I look at it AT&T has decent coverage just about everywhere I go. |

If more like when, unlimited, goes away. I'm hitting up boost or t-mobile. |

I bit the bullet and got mine yesterday, after walking around with a shattered EVO for a week.
I like it so far....really light in comparison to the EVO. Battery life is way better. Still getting familiar with it, but not bad. I wanna try out the tectiles as well.
Anyone have a recommendation for a case & holster for this thing?

Rumor has it they are shipping pre orders early. People have been getting emails saying 7/6 delivery according to Droid Life. I haven't gotten an email on shipping yet. |

kudos:1 | can anyone recommend a decent 32 gb or 64gb micro sd card for my SIII? I don't mind spending a bit of money on quality if it lasts longer btw.
I don't know if I need a class 6 or 10 card either. I've read that it makes a difference going from a class 2 to a class 6, but nothing on class 6 vs class 10.
planning on putting a crap load of
1080p video/
Photos/
ROMS/
Apps/
Spotify 320 kbps files
Is this my best bet? something better?

| As someone posted it's typical of new phones to do this. Also the SIM in the S3 is different than the Droid Bionic and other phones from what I was told. So inserting an existing SIM won't do you any good if it's the wrong kind.
I just tried to check status of mine and the site says they are having technical difficulties right now. |

Correct. They are now using a micro-sim card. |

I got mine on Sprint.
GB is right, touchwiz sucks
but my biggest complaint is that it doesn't match up in benchmarks to other US SGS3s. Consistently, it comes up just a hair above the GNex. and just below SG2s.
and the wi-fi is a little funny, doesn't always connect to my home LAN.
Otherwise, I am very happy with this phone.
