4.0 out of 5 starsenjoying the phone
By julie on August 14, 2013
Color: Purple
I've had my phone for about a month. I am finding it very easy to use and I have not had any issues with anything EXCEPT the placement of the volume and power buttons. They are directly opposite eachother and however I hold the phone, I am hitting one or both of them accidentally. I LOVE the purple, its a great shade. It did scuff easily, unfortunately, so I have to cover it with a case and I am now hunting for a good crystsl clear case. Great battery life and was VERY easy to set up.

5.0 out of 5 starsUpdated my earlier review
By Amazon Customer on September 21, 2013
Color: Purple Verified Purchase
Everything else about the phone is great but....I guess it is my fault for not doing a more in-depth search on the internet or it could be just my particular phone that Amazon sent me. People can not hear me when I try talking to them on the phone so Amazon is supposed to be sending me a replacement when this one gets sent back to them. If the second one does perform like it is supposed to then I will update my rating. If not then I will send the phone back so they will reset my upgrade eligibility and so I won't be charged for the activation fee. ***Updated see below***

Okay so here's the deal. The internal microphone is located on the bottom of the phone and unlike my HTC EVO 4g LTE phone; when I hold the Galaxy S3 usually I was holding my pinky over the mic unknowingly covering it up therefore making it so people could not hear me and in turn making me think there was a problem with the phone. When I received the second phone I did not want to give up so I continued to troubleshoot and after more searching on the internet decided to test out the theory with the microphone. So my problem was solved.

I now do not have any complaint whatsoever with this phone and my area does have 4g as well so that makes me even happier. I have had Sprint service for about 7 years. I would say my preferred brands of phones are either HTC or Samsung but I waited for the longest for this phone. I chose this one because HTC did not have another one that I wanted at the time and I did want a Galaxy but not the S4 because I did read of the problems with the S4.

So if you are thinking about getting the S3 I would say you would not be making a mistake nor making a mistake in choosing Sprint as they are a decent value for the money.Read more ›

5.0 out of 5 starsLove this phone!
By Smarie on October 20, 2013

I've had this phone as a business phone for 18 months. For my personal phone...well lets just say that I was anxiously awaiting the chance to trade it in for this phone. I looked at the new Galaxy SIIII but really didn't feel that I needed anything that it had to offer above this phone for the price. And how could I turn down the 1 cent deal that I got along with the option of purple!

5.0 out of 5 starsSamsung Galaxy Three, works.
By Amazon Customer on November 6, 2013
Color: Purple Verified Purchase
Easy to use, it does everythimg extremely well. Check your personal email or business email with ease. (Of course, they need to be seperate email addresses.) Don'tknow the max of accounts you can load, I have three seperate accounts. It works smoothly, plus you have option to have a seperate signature for each one. I had mine set-up , plus working eithin minutes. Hardest part having passwords readily available, my mistake of not planning ahead, past devices took so long, I never anticipated the quick anspd smooth process.

Screen is gourgous, easy to read emails, books, etc. Plus watch videos, including Netflix or YouTube. Have been using for several weeks, with no issues. Except doesn't make coffee :-)

5.0 out of 5 starsTough to beat the value
By TheSeekerOf on August 26, 2013
Color: Purple Verified Purchase
Got this for my Mom and she's having a ball with it. the constant messages about accepting this or that and offers for services or free trials confuse her, so be prepared for this if buying for someone who's not tech-savvy. But that is likely the case with any new smart phone purchase. Great product for the money spent. Even compares favorably with the S4s I got for my spouse and me.

5.0 out of 5 starsAwesome phone, such a hassle to get.
By Jess on July 5, 2013
Color: Purple
I love this phone, I used my upgrade to get it and the price was amazing. The shipping was fairly normal for 2 day shipping, came at the end of the second day.
The only issue I had was with amazon themselves when ordering the phone. But after 5 phone calls, over 20 emails, a live chat session and having the issue forwarded to an account manager (who never responded at all) I solved the issue myself. I've never had a company literally say they didn't want my business and they wouldn't have gotten it if I could afford to spend more than $10 for an upgrade.
Read through all the details yourself and be careful about filling everything out otherwise it might take a month longer than you needed to get it.
