Good choice getting it in white, and lucky too with this whole blue pebble colour issue.
I'll be picking my white version up tomorrow lunctime so i'll post on here my thoughts then.

Many reviews I have read say they still think the casing feels cheap and its too light and plastiky. And the face feature where it turns off the display if you look away was not working well at all.

Talk about a fuss over nothing. The GS3 might have great specs but damn is it one dull looking cheap feeling device. Just had a play in Carphone store with a live one it feels cheap in the hand. Have gone off it already

TheWizz_68 let us know how it fairs out with the HOX. I have a HOX and S2&Note as well and would like to know if it is worth getting this S3 in terms of the camera department.

The looks,feel etc just never blew me away in the flesh at all  shame really but in the flesh the GS3 just didn't wow me at all. The screen to me seems better on One X

Apparently in London they are doing a stand outside a Carphone store at the GS3 launch serving Ice Cream Sandwiches

Got mine at lunctime - talk about messing me around !! 
Heres what happened: went to my local CPW to pick up my pre-ordered S3 to find they had cancelled my preorder. NICE ONE CPW !!!
So how did this happen ? well it turns out the contract i wanted with the network 3 had been cancelled by CPW, even though its on their website right now - the 3 All-in-One plan. Had lots of apologies from CPW staff and was told they had attempted to call me several times to tell me my preorder was cancelled.
They also said i could still have one but would have to wait until next week when more arrive. I would also lose my preorder gifts - the car charger, screen shield, 16gb memory card etc.
To which i told them where to get off and was out of there angry.
So off i went to the 3 store, just upstairs above CPW in the mall i was in. In i went and got the phone i wanted on the plan i wanted without having to wait. Within 10 minutes i was out of there with my Galaxy S3.
CPW who i usually say are very good have completely screwed up here. They told me to call their complaints, but to be honest i wouldnt want to spend 10 calling a premium support number to get nothing in return.
===Anyway===
First thoughts of my S3 - awesome ! definitely the phone ive been waiting for to replace my Symbian phones.
Loves:
- screen - best screen ive seen on a mobile phone ever. Very bright, vibrant and super sensitive to touch
- construction - brilliant build quality, no creaks or squeaks, rear cover fits super tight. Samsungs build quality has definitely gone up a notch or ten.
- OS - brilliant ! touchwhiz is very minimal and only enhances the stock android look.
- speaker - very loud and high quality !
to be honest there too much to love compared to Symbian.
The only thing i dont like is the lack of a camera shutter button and the fact its locked to 3 with 3 branding on the start up screen. But then, i can alter that easily eventually.

I seen it in a Three store today too. As I said it never wowed me as expected. Screen on HTC X looks better

Your opinion, but mine is this:
Super amoled is var more vivid than even the best LCD screen which makes the S3 screen much better imo. The problem with the S3 imo is the light sensor darkens and dulls the screen too much unless you're in a really bright area. Possibly something Sammy need to fix.
Now i love the One X, but its screen is really dull in comparison, which has been proven by sites like GSM Arena and Techradar etc, which have done tests on both phones screens. The S3 wins all of them, or almost all.

I hated Super AMOLED on GS2. Yes colours are over saturated and perhaps unrealistic. But I found whites were with a nasty blue ish tint
