Got it! International running on att

[anon(522296)]

Got the SG3 today, white 16gb.

Cut my sim card from my skyrocket with a sim cutter into a micro sim and just popped it in my SG3. Running automatically HSPA+ and excellent reception and radio quality. Didn't have to do any APN changes.

This is the first ICS device I've had that does NOT have any connectivity issues (aka Nexus and One X) Wifi is great, data is great, the cell signal is stable, and bluetooth connects no problem.

Love the LED notification light, used light flow and can confirm it works great. All the custom colors work.

Like Sense, Touchwiz sucks, at least sense looks good but it uses too much memory. I used go launcher on the SG3 and its a nice clean launcher. The camera is great as well, just like the HTC camera I had only the menus are easier on the SG3.

Other than that I used Swiftkey 3 beta for the keyboard, I love that board.

I just didn't want a carrier branded device, so I chose the stock international so I can get some darn updates. I don't have LTE where I live so that didn't matter. I guess it depends what you want.

Overall a really great device, Samsung really perfected ICS and did a great job with the SG3.

Don't be afraid to get the SG3 Int on ATT, it works great!

Awesome, how much did you pay for the phone? Since it uses AT&T's HSPA+ network, what kind of data speeds are you seeing?

Same here got mine yesterday (ceramic white couldn't wait for the pebble blue anymore), just went to at&t to swap to micro sim (coming from at&t GSII). I couldn't wait for at&t to announce the GS3 but they did announce it eventually after sprint, verizon & t-mo, and realize the other reason why I bought the international version, one word "UPDATE". I love my GS2 but the wait for the update from at&t for the ICS it's killing me. Did the root and everything but it feels different when you have the official software like the int'l version.

Does the GPS lock on quickly and effectively?

Yup

How does the build quality compare to your skyrocket? And how does the glossy coating feel? Is it rough and grippy like the white lumia, or icky and slimy like most glossy phones? Is there any give to the chrome trim if you squeeze the handset? Thanks.

Does anybody know if the international version supports Tmobile's 3G/HSPA bands? Can't seem to find the answer anywhere.

I'm kind of jealous because the int. ver. has that quad core but.....*sigh*.....whatever!! lol!!

I just tried it and it does work

I can not get google voice to configure voicemail. The application crashes when attempting to change the settings.

Anyone else on AT&T with this issue?

I don't get it; that seems like a contradiction
