Ok - So I've lived with the S3 for 24 hours or so now.
Thought I'd bore you with my thoughts.
1. It's REALLY slippery - i hate phone cases but I'm going to have to get one because I WILL drop it. A lot.
2. I can sort of see where Apple are coming from when they argue Samsung have copied them. The Camera App is VERY similar to that offered by iOS devices. The stock Samsung keyboard is a clear rip off of Apple's. SwiftKey was installed immediately. I'm sure these aren't the only two things but they leap out as being the worst offenders to me.
3. The screen is gorgeous.
4. Touchwiz is a lot less invasive than Sense on my old HTC Desire - but there is still plenty of bloatware that I will never **** open let alone use.
5. Its featherlight. Compared to the Desire, its like walking around with a feather, despite the increase in size.
6. The battery is monstrous. 1st day user syndrome took over yesterday and I basically didn't leave it alone between 5.30 and 1am. Streaming videos, web browsing, MP3 player, **** about with S-Voice, downloading all my old apps from the Playstore. It took it all in its stride like a goodun. Normal Day to day use, I reckon will be a charge everyother day.
7. Its fast.
8. Its Villa Claret and very very pretty.
9. It made Mrs E realise how much of an overpriced turd her 4S is.
