Well I got the S3 yesterday and I gotta say battery life is better as well as the data connection is solid. The screen is great too I just have to get used to a new phone and get it setup the way I like it. The verizon rep came through and actually sent me a Certified 16gb blue GS3 with new back cover, new battery, and new verizon branded wall charger. I ordered a seidio active case for it last night. I am a happy camper so far.
