    this is a great deal for a great phone. S3 will be one of the greatest sucesses of all time. and this also means there will be a S4 coming in 6 months, even greater news.

      yea soon it'll be free if you wait another 30 days. this was outdated 3 months ago...

      the problem with samsung is they mass produce everything in high volume, much like a dollar tree factory.

      not saying that's not good, personally i would like to get everything for a buck!

        Anonymous, 19 Oct 2012L@G fans hate samsung bcoz none of L@G phones getting succ... moreYeah, LG fans hate Sammy fans because Samsung has built a false name and doesn't deserve to be the best selling android phone, because many other phone manufacturers make better phones, LG too. They launch numerous phones like s3 mini, which was a BIG failure. LG launches 2 or 3 phones but they compete with the best phones on market. It is the only phone manufacturer which has 2 handsets in top5 on all benchmark results. The firmware and update is really a small issue. Have you checked the O4X HD or the Optimus G and see how fluid they are? They don't need JB, but Optimus G has it already anyway. Let's see what you haters have to say about this.

        If people judge LG only for the phones launched 2 years ago, then they aren't realistic. Why should you stick to a brand even if you don't like it, only to punish LG just because you had an Optimus 2X which wasn't updated? From 2012, LG has changed the management and this can be seen on the Optimus G, which has already received JB. Samsung has no designers to match the LG, they will probably make another rounded corners one, just like the s3 mini, the s3 and note 2.

        Let's see what samsung brings in to at least match Optimus G.

                      I got Samsung Galaxy S3 LTE Sprint with $200 contract. The phone is Great but Sprint service so so bad calls drop, message failed and 3g network sucks. I have two lines and I'm paying $170 dollars. I dont understand I'm paying the bill for phone or bill. I'm switching to T-Mobile. T-Mobile Rocks

Samsung has rubbish designers and built quality. In terms of specs, they aren't the only ones who throw quadcores, or 2 GB of RAM. And that bogus company is the company which innovated smartphone industry, you crappy hater.

It is better this way, LG is not for common people like Samsung owners.

                                    And you want to know why Samsung launched another S3? Why do you think? It wasn't good enough and the most important is that Apple forced them to take all the copied stuff off from all their handsest, including S3. You say that Samsung is that good then? As I said before, people don't know the truth and they buy anything these days.

S3 sold this many coz it is a great device with lots of features... none of kraits even surpassed its sale... S3 combines speed, performance n smoothness which everybody wants n that boosted its sale unlike other brands which have half on one phone n other half on another...

Look at Samsung phones and on the comments page you will see how dissapointed are the S3 users that the JB hasn't arrived on the handset yet, even Samsung announced it already has arrived...S3 fans say that LG looks in Samsung's garbage when making a phone, but if LG was looking in Samsung's garbage they wouldn't have that good phones they have now...saying something about LG? And S3 never beat OG in a single benchmark test. In terms of updating, LG has changed since they launched O4X HD and LG OG. Korea already has JB, and the rest of the world will have it by January 2013. LG isn't anymore a manufacturer to mock about, you people should have seen that already.
