Title says it all.
I love it so far. My only complaint would be Samsung's inconsistent build quality. For example, my power button is pretty loose. So is the phone displayed at the store I got it from. I'm not worried that it's going to fall out, but my friends S3 's power button is much tighter. Hardly any wiggle at all. Also, I've heard that some folks have issues with the screen showing what looks like dark blotches or ink spots on a black backgrounds noticeable in dark rooms. Thankfully, my unit was spared from this screen issue.
Apart from that, this is easily the best phone I've ever owned. I love everything else about it. It's fast as heck and I love the fact that it comes with NFC, 2gigs of ram, expandable memory and a removable battery. This phone seems as future proof as it gets these days.
Another great thing is the battery life and temp. This is the first phone I've not felt compelled to charge overnight. I can easily get 5 hours of screen time with battery life to spare. The battery also stays way cooler than my last phone, the rezound. I can finally play 3D games like Mass Effect: Infiltrator and Final Fantasy 3 for more than 15 minutes without fear of overheating.
I also have to commend Samsung's native video player. It's played everything I've thrown at it, including, WMVs, AVIs and MKVs. It's not as option-rich as some third party players like Dice or MX, but also doesn't have as many problems play different containers. Besides, it has the three most important options for me: separate brightness control, ability to play both embedded subtitles and those from a file, and a slick UI. It likely draws less power since it uses hardware acceleration.
Coming from the pixel packing rezound, I thought the screen was going to be a downgrade. And while I can see the pentile matrix dots fairly easily, I actually think I like it more because of the better viewing angles and contrast ratio. Also, even though the screen is bigger, the pentile display on the S3 looks better than on any other super amoled screen I've seen before, including the GNex. I also thought I'd never get used to the size, but its form factor masks the size pretty well, making it look smaller than it really is. And it's so incredibly thin. And uniformly thin too. None of this top hump, ridges, or bottom fat lip nonsense.
Anyway, where do you rate the S3 after using it for a while?

But then again looks like Apple will have that covered in the next Iphone 5. In all I'll stick with this brand of phones probably because I like googles software over other. :smokingsomb:
