This must be a record for me, 48 hours after un boxing the phone I have root access. I would like to hear from all you guys and gals if you have rooted your gs3.

Yup, I did too (same method as you used), to restore my backups and use SETCPU... my S3 seemed to drain battery more than I thought it would, and was getting a bit warm just surfing the net.
Running a whole lot nicer now!

Yes you would have to root to change the color or icons within the notification bar.. I'm sure there are some apps out there that allow minor changes/tweaks but the easiest route is via rooting.
Got my Galaxy S3 yesterday. The first thing I did, after calling Sprint to activate the device, was root it. Titanium Backup, Root Call Blocker and WiFi Tether are all essential apps to me.
