I heard that the wallpapers are all static when you scroll.
Will third party launchers bring back the wallpaper panning as you scroll through home screens?
Yep. Just tried Nova and it scrolls as normal.
Can you hold it back to back with a GNex (or other phone that uses the stock Android Beam feature) and see if S Beam is compatible?
No. S Beam is proprietary and works only on Galaxy S III's at the moment (though I'm sure we'll see it on some future Samsung phones too).
@Alex Dobie, first of all, thanks!
I have more of a question about an S3 accessory than the phone itself, the C-Pen. How does the Samsung Galaxy 3 compare with the Samsung Galaxy Note?
For the (very) little bit that I have read about the C-Pen, it does not seem to differ much in terms of functionality from the S-Pen. If that is the case, and the S3 supports the "doodling" and handwriting functionality of the G-Note, then it would seem that the S3 is an upgrade to the G-Note. A slightly smaller upgrade but an upgrade nonetheless.
So I am interested in how the S3 compares to the G-Note, especially the C-Pen (although it is an accessory to the S3 and not "Built-in") and the S-Pen.
Thanks in advance.
Don't have the C-Pen here (most of the accessories aren't out yet). But as it's capacitive, it won't match the precision and sensitivity of the Wacom stylus on the Galaxy Note.
Can you surf the web, and talk on the phone at the same time over 3G?
It's a GSM phone, so yes.
Thank you Alex for answering all our questions even if some of us ask silly ones too.
In order to decide for a device even the silly questions are important as well.
I live in the UK and been holding out on buying the ONE X just to see what the GS III will be like and have a question. Does the phone have heating problems when playing games for a long time or when doing heavy multitasking? I know all the new phones have some sort of heat after using the phone to play games or use GPS but its nice to know how the S III compares. Summer is here as well hopefully it doesn't heat to be uncomfortable.
Can't wait for the AC review
Thanks.
No heat problems with the S III in my experience. (Same goes for the One X)
Just thought of a couple more questions.
1. Since we are running Touchwiz here, do we still have to create a folder and then dump apps into it, or, since we are running ICS, can we just put one app over the other and it will create a folder itself?
2. Since we are on the topic of folders, can you have a folder in the dock?
1. Yep, you still need to handle folders the old-fashioned way.
2. Yes, you can put folders in the dock.
As someone who's coming from Blackberry, how is the led notification light? Customizable at all?
thanks!
Nope, but I bet you could find an app to do that.
Out of the box you get a red glow for charging, a green glow when it's finished charging, and a flashing blue light for notifications.
I've got a question: when is mine arriving? Carphonewarehouse took my ?500 3 weeks ago and now tell me it won't be here until the 19th of June at the earliest. That'll be 5 weeks they have had my money and I'd get it at the same time if I ordered it now. Should have left the money in my account.

Did you order a pebble blue? If so, maybe they can swap you for a marble white. (Or a refund)
Does it get blue stains like the One X? Lol
And do you have a pebble? Does it work nicely?
No stains of any description
Nope. Mine is marble white. I actually thought the pebble blues they had at the launch event looked a bit weird.
