Anns on the S3 it is easy but coming from a different OS then you will be supprised what you can do
You have alot of frends on here that will help
You have the freedom of Android
The S3 is a amazing phone it may to some look complicated but its not we have guided many a user
I belive this is the best phone out there
If you choose this phone
You will be welcome to Android with open arms
Thank you NDJ for you encouraging words.
I did pop into the Vodafone store at Epsom last week and had a little play with the phone. The guy in the store mentioned that the sat nav is so much better than any Tom Tom and showed me how to set up a new account through Google.
I look forward to talking to Andoid users, and if I have any problems, I know my friends here on the forum will help.
I think your a good candidate for the DLP and i think you will find after then you will want one
I demo Android devices and many have neverf used a smart phone
As for sat nav Nav 4 free is even better as the maps are downloaded first
On the S3 you can shut your data off so you never loose your data allowance
Hi Ann
I can honestly say the S3 is the BEST Phone I have ever used! As you know I've tried a few... 
The User Interface on Android is very intuitive, and the phrase "Your Phone, Your Way!" is very apt!
It will be a steap learning curve, but it is an enjoyable journey full of surprises!
As N-dj has said, you have many friends here, all of whom will be happy to help!
I cannot recommend this Phone enough...!
No issues with Firmware or signal for me!
GPS location is ultra accurate, as is the SaNav feature of Google Maps.
Only 5 Vodafone Apps;
App Select
Discover
Updates
My Webs
Vodafone Music
My Webs and Vodafone Music can be uninstalled.
The other 3 I just put into a Folder.
No other branding or Splash screens what so ever!
Thank you TSD for your helpful comments.
I have just been on Mobile Fun and Amazon, ordered a case to protect the phone, an in car charger which I always like to keep in the car and a holder which is out of stock, oh and I ordered a micro SIM adaptor so I can still use my Nokia.
Its about time I got myself an Android phone and have got to admit that the SIII is an amazing phone.
I will be asking loads of questions.
Thank you guys,
If one of the team would like to contact me, we can do a deal.
I have had no problems i had a Galaxy S before so i am used to Samsung i have been doing alot of research in to what is going on
I could go into detail be its far to complecated basicly the Galaxy S3 will not fry your brain see
The Higher the sar the more damage it can do
samsung are leading the way others need to follow
On the reception thread a user went and changed networks (bit drastic) but got full signal from Orange
Vodafone's signal on 3G is lower then Orange in some areas
I have had problems here ware i live and this effected all sorts of phones.
Hence the Wet string
But with the S3 its been spot on i'm testing with out my suresignal at the moment and i have had no problems
even check with my old Nokia and its the same
One thing i have found is HTC and Apple scan rate is lower so they have less signal flutuation
But in low signal the S3 works better and get a signal faster
It was Hard to find a Bad signal area near me lol
Samsung have not reported any issues, You will find people don't like change

Spot on I would disable these as they run in the back ground
Discover (Vodafone uses Data and Battery)
Updates (same as above)
Yahoo Finance (Uses data and battery)
Yahoo News ( same as above )
I only have App select in a Folder the rest is not showing
The Bloatware works (makes a change) Via 3G only there is no Rubbish Boot screen
I carn't see the point of these apps as there more expencive the the Play store
The My Vodafone would be ok if the data worked but its out of date bu the Openzone bit works
Extremely fast, smooth and superb display.
I have had no signal issues. The only problem has been with using a non standard message alert! but This is due to the app rather than the phone.
If you come to this with an open mind you should be fine. This phone can't do everything that everyone wants! no phone can, iPhones can do some things better, this can do lots of things better (that's my opinion).
As you know there are some great people here to help.
Hi Ann,
Today is day 3 with my S3 having moved over from the iPhone 4. I am thoroughly enjoying it and there are certainly more settings to play with on the S3 than the iPhone. But that novelty will wear off soon enough.
But I have to say that all the 'everything is easy' on Android is a little over the top. Apart from the extra customisation I haven't yet found anything on the S3 that I couldnt do just as easily on the I4. And there is one thing so far that I cannot do easily.
But the phone itself is excellent and my I4 now looks so small and feels so heavy now.
I'm sure you will enjoy it - I am!!
Hi Ann
I've got the 16GB White version.
The fact that you can add external Micro SD cards meant that paying the extra for the 32GB wasn't really needed for me.
The Camera can be set to save directly to external storage, so if you plan to take a lot of HD Video, storage wont be an issue.
Also with the 50GB dropbox account, when in WiFi range your Stuff will be uploaded automatically.
It's simply a choice... I felt no need for the extra but that's not to say you shouldn't get it if you feel you need it!
