It all looks good to me. Good, not gimmicky.

The Wireless N MiMo is nice (was in my wish list). But yeh, so much of this was known before there isn't a lot of "magic" factor here so far.. all of this seems like catchup to competitors

C'mon Ron, you've been working yourself up to hate this phone for months.

Video stabilization had been there for a couple of years, I believe.

Steve Simon just called me, says "Looks like we made the right choice
with our Galaxy S3" I agree.

Many of these announced features already available in our phone
including panorama photo.

And yes, iPhone has better battery life, so it seems.

"Wideband Audio"  (or read: a better speaker)
Yes, there is a better speaker, but it sounds like it is more than that since it requires carrier support.

I think it's there on the 4S, I wasn't aware of it when I had a 4.

It's still a nice touch. There are a lot of nice touches here, just nothing that blows me out of the water. I have to admit, the change in the dock connector even if necessary, completely infuriates many I know who will find they have to use adapters and cables to rehook to things.
