MicroSim a disadvantage? How on earth did you come up with that?

And the plastic is actually practical. Drop it from head hight and it might survive unlike others

SGS3 design is just plain ugly, and the device it self is bloated with lots of useless apps. as always like all android devices, at very least, you need to root it , so it can function properly. or better yet install clean custom ROM.

S3/Nexus are equal as they can both use each others app.

Siri is pretty good though.

With the growth of all thing Google, I have asked many times does anyone know how secure is Android, but no one ever responds. Is it because everyone is happy to to entertain spyware and certain Google data collection software, all just because the facade of Android is an attractive impulse buy, or is it because you just dont know. As a prolific business traveler all around the world, and having several mobiles just for myself let alone for my business, I know that given the opportunity some one will have a go at our business. So lets stop the crap. How secure is Android, and of course well done Samsung.

Is S3 already out in the market? the Review is fast. unlike other handsets,. especially nokia takes a couple of months to have the review. Look at 808 Pureview, not even the preview has been conducted.

What technology have they copied (a lot of it is theirs anyway)? How is upgrading their phones lacking in originality as everyone does it every year anyway?
This is as good a review as you'll find anywhere in my opinion,if there are any questions it doesn't answer then they probably aren't worth asking.
