I received the S3 today, and the wife is thrilled. Ran right over to BB and bought a case and screen protector for it. Got home and charged it up and will play with it a bit before activating it and getting her VM phone number moved to it.
The only downside so far is that it doesn't come with a hard-copy User Manual to help figure out all of the features this phone has, even the basic ones. Older types like me kind of like those to flip through, make notes in, etc., instead of being tied to a PC reading a file. Guess I'll try to find a book locally before I order on-line. "My Galaxy S III" by Steve Schwartz looks like a good one to get.
