No consumers ran out and bought S3s because it has expandable memory and a removable battery. lol.
Good marketing and building enough phones to be able to put the same physical phone in all carrier stores guaranteed a win for Samsung. Look at the Nexus 4, quad-core, great price unlocked - yet mainstream consumers probably have never even heard of it.
I did. I love controlling how much and what I keep on my SD. I also would rather be able to swap batteries as I hate having an umbilical and 2 device to charge. I would also rather if my battery took a dump, I not have to send my phone out for repair. I also hope that when the new battery technology hits, they make a compatible battery for my phone.
I started with iPhone then I bought a thunderbolt and found out the positives that Android had to offer. I got a RAZR to replace my thunderbolt and absolutely hated not being able to just switch batteries.
One thing that has absolutely pissed me off was trying to get a battery and charger for the s3 from VZW after I lost my other ones. I told them if it wasn't an iPhone or droid branded they didn't have a damn thing for it. I have to get mine from sprint.
I think this s3 has opened a lot of eyes to android. It is by far the bast phone I've had to date. The features, ease of use, and dependability has made it a home run for me.
