Samsung Galaxy S III (16GB - pebble blue, Verizon Wireless)

Pros: Feel, Speed, Feature, Customization,Build, app support to do many different things with the phones and allows you to customize the phone to your liking and needs.

Cons: A bit big if you purchase a super protective case (otterbox), Original keyboard takes a bit of getting used to if you are coming from an iphone.

Summary: The fit and finish of the phone is amazing. If you have small hands I would not get a big case for this phone. Yeah the plastic feel and finish feels a bit weird and cheap at first but the phone is definitely top notch. The build of the phone feels like it will break if dropped. I put a screen protector as I'm not about to test the Gorilla glass from scratches.

Not sure about the battery, but I've always had to recharge by the end of the night. But then again I'm always on my phone. So I won't get too far in to this. The battery is removal, which is great. I saw that one of the reviewers are complaining about the cover was hard to remove, but I haven't had any problems with it you just need to be patient.

The screen is amazingly bright in a room. Though once it hits the sun it is a bit questionable. When you're outside the phone gets a bit dark so you have to put the brightness up to 100% as soon as you decide to use the phone in sunlight.

The phone is amazingly fast and I've been able to run multiple apps with no problems. Some apps do crash but that happens. The widget and pages are a big step up coming from an iPhone. I also love the fact that you are able to watch a video while multi-tasking. which helps out a lot if you want to read a text or look at an email and not want to restart the video application.

Also I've had better luck with the S Voice understanding me than I've had with Siri.
