Got mine in Black Mist on Wednesday.
Very impressed. I actually think it feels classier than the S3.
Camera takes stunning photos.
Little bit of lag on the menus (which is to be expected one the first firmware) when I first got it.
Screen is impressive but imo not a massive step up from the S3, apart from the colours which seem less saturated.
Really impressed that Samsung have already released a firmware update already (less than a week after release), this seems to really reduce the amount of space the Samsung OS takes up (mine has droped from 7GB now to just 2GB of the 16GB) and maybe has improved the performance (still a little bit of lag for me but nothing to scream about). There are also new wallpapers.
The firmware thing above alone is why I won't move back to Sony - I remember having to wait literally months and months from release to get bug fix updates from Sony. Well done Samsung!

Just ran AnTuTu and got a benchmark of 25875 on the S600 version.
That's an increase from the 25250 I got earlier on the older firmware

Not being funny in a quad core or octa core powerhouse like this there really shouldn't be any lag. It should not be,to be expected early on. It shouldn't be at all. This is typical Android it's never lag free

Yeah I agree Bono, it was actually quite surprised when (before the new firmware) when I turned it on because my S3 had a lot less lag.
Typical case of software not being optimised on the earlier models. My X S had the same issue when I first got it then Sony brought out the firmware update.

Congrats Rickser! Glad you're enjoying it to!
Got to love how swift Samsung are, less than a week in and ALREADY a fw update to sort out all the little issues
indeed if it was a Sony we'd be waiting a month, then there would be some sort of cock&bull delay and when we do get the update it would most likely partly fix the issues while bringing other bugs with it
The increase in AnTuTu score must mean Samsung are further optimizing the S600 for TouchWiz, I'm sure it can hit a good 26000, but what does it matter? It's proven to be the best S600 based smartphone around anyway!

Hmmm... I wonder if the laggy FW is the one most networks used when branding the phones? That would explain a lot.
Mine is also unlocked/unbranded as I bought it from a Samsung retailer, and I have zero lag and no overheating as well, phone is running beautifully, but not all are lucky as us and I'm starting to think it may be carrier branding.

Tsepz_GP, I have wondered about those issues myself and I am sure branded phones are the ones struggeling. I bought mine sim free and have no problems with lags or over heating
