I recently started having problems with my 8 month old HTC – Rezound and finally the phone’s internal memory crashed!!!! I had enough of it and called up Verizon to get a replacement and to my surprise, they even agreed to replace it with any phone of my choice Can you believe that???? I immediately asked for a Galaxy S3 and disconnected the call before the sales person realized what she was promising. And voila….I ended up with a brand new Samsung Galaxy S3 with no new contracts and at zero cost.

Twitter: hajraks Thanks so much for the mention! You finally dragged me here! Is this your new website?
I liked the galaxy s3 so so much but I didn’t get it somehow (my latest post being the reason maybe?) but then my aunt got it and she doesn’t like it so much. Says when her son dropped it, the repair was too expensive. Even my friend got the phone and she finds it awesome. But somehow my mind has changed. Maybe someone has to gift me one to convince me!
And yes, your phone company is so so cool, they offered a replacement. My phone company will just throw the phone in my face… maybe!
Twitter: techivy Hajra – Gotcha!!!!! Yes, this is my latest experiment at tech-blogging. How do you like it so far? I have had lots of guest contributors for this and hence i am able to survive managing and keeping it updated on a regular basis
Yes, samsung galaxy is known to be very delicate and the cost of repair can be high. That didnt affect my decision though
And yes, i got lucky with my wireless provider for this one off case i think. Most of those companies are very rigid with their policies and wouldnt go out of their way to please a single subscriber. praveen recently posted…Why Apple TV can prove to be big potential in 2013(dofollow)
Twitter: techivy Carolyn – I am glad you liked my review of the S3. Yes, verizon has been good to me in replacing this device, hope they take notice of this article somehow
It surely is a wonderful “smart” phone, i am loving each and every feature of it. Lately i have been addicted to the ‘Double Tap’ feature which i havent listed above.
When i am browsing through my mails or even when i am going through my contacts and have scrolled down the list, there is a ‘Go To Top’ feature in this phone. I just have to tap 2 times on the top of the device (where we have the audio port), and it scrolls all the way up. It is really useful and i dont have to scroll back up using multiple movement of my fingers. THis is just awesome.
I also like the S-beam which i am using it often with another friend who has an S3, also the camera features are just great. There are several new features available, and the burst mode is smarter than the other phones where it picks out the best out of the 20 pics it takes in a second.
I think I can write another article for the features tht I missed up there
