I agree the weight and thinness of the S3 makes it seem smaller than the DX... Until you look at the awesome screen

I too came from the Incredible and as hard as it was to give up, I love my GS3! Just bought a 32gb microsd card to go with my on board 32gbs. Looking for a 64gb card but couldn't find any around except for ebay. But for a total of 64gbs is more than enough.
I just wish they didn't disable the fm radio. That was a great feature on the Incredible. I also wish there was a favorites widget too. Other than that, we have the best phone for the next 3 months(something better always comes 3 months later)LOL!
Btw, whatever Iphony puts out as their 5th version, it won't even compare to the power of the GS3.
P.S. Google please sue the hell out of Apple for stealing the notification shade! This one's going to be good. Ban all Iphone 5 from being imported into the States and Europe. Payback is a BITCH!

I thought the Galaxy Nexus was pushing the limits of my tolorance for phones. My biggest problem is holding it in one hand and swiping down the notification bar. I was able to do this easily on smaller screens, but the larger screen added a little more trickiness to it.
Thankfully the S3 isn't that much bigger and I recently discovered an Apex Launcher gesture to bring the bar down anywhere on the home screen, so my fears moving up further in size have been eliminated.
It'll take awhile to get used to, but after a couple months, you'll look at other phones and wonder how they are so small!

I had similar thoughts moving from the Incredible to the Thunderbolt. But got use to it and love the size of the screen on the Thunderbolt. Moving from the Thunderbolt to the S3 was not a big deal. That being said, my advice to you is you will grow to love it. If anyone has a S3 and still has the Incredible laying around, go look at it and tell me if you could ever go back to that tiny toy screen.
Like others, I do feel the S3 is a tad to long. I am glad the power button is on the side because holding the phone in a natural position in my hand makes moving my fingers to the top of the phone a stretch.
If they had the same screen size and decreased some bezel around the phone it would be a perfect size. Its nice to use the phone in landscape however.
