Verizon is the only carrier in the world who locked this phone, Verizon has also made it so non-Verizon approved software wont work on there version of the S3 so no Google wallet for you

I stored in my garage according to the very limited English version of the manual I found on the internet (it ships with a manual that is in German) and have not been able to get this to run for more than 5 minutes at a time.

If you're interested in this phone, I do not recommend the Verizon version

older version so Google CHROME is not available, unable to GPS for G Map.... too many little issues to list

Weather anyone can still purchase the 4.0.3 version is questionable.

I explained that my prior phone an HTC Incredible (version 1) worked perfectly.

I have read elsewhere that Samsung simply doesn't know how to make good CDMA radios and GSM versions of the phone don't share this problem

they ripped most of the things from the iPhone like "S-Voice" samsung ripoff of Siri and the eye tracking

Oh if you have the original S like my

i ordered the samsung galaxy s 3 and i love it, it far exceeded my expectations.

Dim screen makes outdoors use a little painful* Ugly and slow OS skin, gimmicky Samsung apps including S voice, massive amount of bloatware, annoying Verizon customizations like persistent wifi

And with newer phones carrying a lot of unnecessary specs n power, this is most suited for daily usage
