I downloaded the AT&T OTA update and it installed on my phone without any problems. I have observed the following:
1. No obvious changes so far. I did notice a new small light colored "round cursor" as I swiped the lock screen.
2. After the phone rebooted, I got a Window 7 error message "Hardware ID Missing - on device currently connected to Samsung Composite USB Device port"
3. Started Kies. Kies connected once to the phone and reported the firmware level to be "I747UCALH9/I747ATTATH9/I747UCLH9/I747UCALH9 (ATT)". Keis also displayed a message saying the the phone was no longer firmware updatable using Kies.
4. I unplugged phone and Kies disconnected but would not reconnect. Windows would not see the phone as a USB Storage device.
5. I cancelled and restarted Kies and ran the "Connection Troubleshooting" wizard. During that process Kies re-installed the USB device drivers. At the the end of the device driver install the I747 S3 phone was recognized again. Windows wanted a restart for one of the three USB driver components that were updated.
6. The phone connects to Windows and Kies normally now.
I would still like to see a list of changes and upgrades included in the "H9" upgrade. Anyone know where that can be found?
And what's with Kies not being able to do firmware updates anymore?

When the final AT&T Jelly Bean gets sent OTA, I'll flash back to stock and give it a whirl.
