      I have experienced this problem with my galaxy s3, just a week after activation the phone dying unexpectedly. I delivered my phone to the Samsung service center and I need to wait for the motherbaord to be replaced. Almost a month now, I have not got repaired yet. I am so disappointed with Samsung!! Is that quickly repaired?

        Iphone is damn expensive,, Samsung has got no style,, Nokia uses win OS which very complicated wen compared to Android... That's why i always prefer SONY, it has got CLASS,LOOKS,SPEED nd CHEAPER wen compared to other phones in the market...

            [deleted post]Popye dear, Iphones are expensive paper weights. If someone wants to buy a good phone go for Android like SIII, or Note. This crap called iphone is only a showpiece but good for nothing. Bluetooh doesnot works, need itunes to copy data, Itunes what a waste of time and money.

                go jump off a bridge! sgs3 is by far the best, most selling, most popular, most sought after, easiest of the UIs, fastest and the smartest mobile phone ever!!!!

                what does 'LIEPHONE' has to offer? s**t and dull interface, multimedia messaging and bluetooth problems, limited menu features, pain in the behind syncing with 'LIETUNES' s**t.
                way to sleep with that. whatever makes you comfortable to LIE yourself.

                samsung galaxy s3 rules the mobile market GLOBAlLY!!!!!

                    [deleted post]You do understand that both phones are relatively cheap when you get it on a term agreement right? Phones are actually cheaper these days than they were when I first started using them. People easily forget the days of 8xxx series Nokias and Sharp SX833. Phones are quite cheap these days and even elderly people can get iphones...

                          [deleted post]Duh... Because performance, usability and price-to-feature ratio are irrelevant when it comes to phones. Instead, "taste" for religiously hyped iphones is what really matters.

                                Mr plop, 03 Jan 2013Can't stand the rubbish Nokia are producing with win flop o... moreLumia 920 is the most innovated phone out there, bar none. I doubt you have used it.

                                It has the fastest screen on mobile (5.4X faster refresh rate than the iPhone 5' screen, and 2.4X faster than Galaxy S3). Screen has better visibility than any other phone even on bright sunlight. The touchscreen works with gloves that other phones won't. The Optical Image Stabilization on the camera is the first in smartphone. It has the best low light camera in mobile. HAAC (audio recording) microphones beast every other phones that are none-Nokia. Wireless charging built-in. The buttons and camera deco are made of the super hard Zirconium for scratch resistant, unlike the Lumia 900's. It has a next-gen Dual LED flash.

                                        I thought all the supports of S3 think that their phones don't have this problem? and proudly defend it
