Mini Review for ye:
Looks and feel:
Improvement on the GS2 in feel wise it feels solid and comfortable in the hand, even an avid iphone fan agreed it feels good and does not look or feel plasticy. The over-all weight is marginally heavier then the gs2 but hard to notice. The over-all size is marginally bigger on the top and bottom of the phone over the gs2 but still feels right.
The screen feels lovely, finger glides along it easier and the screen runs right to the edge.
Screen and Software:
First impressions on turning the phone on, wow the screen is a stunner, its as sharp as the iphone 4s, just lovely and it has the size to be useful, personally think this is the screen size thats is just right for a smart phone, any bigger and it wouldnt be practical. I think they hit the sweet spot.
Touchwiz is what it is, not great. I kept it for 4 days and then switched to Apex launcher, I think upped the amount of rows to make full use of the screen real estate:
All the nifty gestures etc of samsungs are still there, so I can swipe my palm across the screen to take a screenshot etc... etc... all the ones you have seen advertised.
Its fast! Response time is nippy and slick now hanging about, its noticible over the gs2.
Battery:
Great, ive not been using any battery saving apps etc.. to test and so far today its been off charge for 15hours with fair usage throughout the day and still go 39% per screenshot above.
I believe the quad core actually benefits battery usage by offloading different apps to different cores.. also the bigger battery helps.
Summary:
Happy with the phone
Improvement on the GS2 and it only cost me 30euro thanks to the sale of the old phone! Result. 0 -

So first full day with the phone and only 1 minor complaint....Battery drain overnight.
Charged it up and more or less played with it over the course of the day(roughly 6 hours of heavy usage).
Went to sleep and there was 27% left, which was pretty awesome in my opinion, but 6 hours later when I woke up it had died
Don't understand how it could have happened but I hear its common at this stage until they sort out a few bugs?
Other than that this beast is a cracker and a step up from the S2.0 -

Just got this phone on prepay this morning Before I set it up, are my number transfered from the iphone to the SIII and what about messages?
If you had google sync setup then your numbers should be okay but im guessing you didnt do that. You will need to look up the best way of doing it.
As for your messages I dont think there is an easy way of moving them.0 -
