Jeez -- don't get the S3. The size isn't a problem, you get used to that very quickly. You can ride with it the front pocket of a pair of jeans and not know it's there. The screen real estate is useful. It's a bit awkward to use one-handed sometimes, but mostly okay.
But the S3 is a Samsung re-skin of Android. They've made it worse by sticking a load of branding and bloatware on the phone. Also, the updates are on a different cycle and you're reliant on Samsung not Google. Samsung has screwed up the latest Jellybean update, for example, and delivered it 6 months late.
The new one out in a couple of weeks -- Nexus 4 ? -- looks like the one to go for, and is cheaper.
