Briggie, just go on Phone Arena for all unbiased reviews and comparisons.
Everyone's own phone use will colour their views on how "good" a phone is.
Read up and be wise

Hi guys thanks for all the replies about the phones. Looks like I've exhausted all I can do with the phone, just got to wait until I've seen how my finances are after buying the new car.
I've updated Kies but not found any updates for my S3. Have been running the phone for a couple of weeks and sure enough its gone slow again. I've not added any apps, music or anything which has confirmed my thoughts about what's the point in having a smart phone and not being able to use it as a smartphone.

I'd transfer my sim card into a basic phone that I have but it's a small sim and doesn't fit

. I'll make do for now and replace at a later date.

Lost me by a mile I have a s4 mini it is what I am using now via a tablet no probs at all except it is a phone and I only have 1gb data which will run out in a few days, then I will be back to my Orange dongle that has 3gb but due to MS forcing a windows 8.1 upgrade I am now at 5mb and rising, it is going to be an expensive month, Rick
