I just got my first Android phone (a 1ghz dual-core 512mb LG) and it its fuckin slow :( (my iPhone 3GS felt way way snappier).
I suggest you look for a CM9 ROM for your phone on XDA.
This is bullshit, the "preorders" are from carriers not actual customers. Samsung could sell zero units and still claim to have 9 million preorders. > Samsung Electronics Co has received some 9 million pre-orders for its third-generation Galaxy S smartphone from more than 100 global carriers , the Korea Economic Daily reported on Friday.

What is your point exactly? I'm pretty certain the carriers do their homework before placing orders. They don't want a ton of inventory just sitting on their shelves. So the carriers expect to sell them and Samsung did sell them (doesn't matter who bought them).

It's certainly a good indicator of smartphone demand, although I'm not sure it's comparable with iPhone 4S pre-orders. I suspect that a lot of the S3 pre-orders are direct from carriers, rather than individuals, so it's more of a 'product shipped' rather than 'product sold' statistic. I could of course be totally wrong, although as it's a leaked stat it's hard to know exactly how a 'pre-order' is being defined...but…
I guess Samsung phones are more popular outside US. Among my colleagues, of 10 smartphones, 8 are Samsung ones (includes 3 Samsung Notes) and only one iPhone4S.
This phone is one of the most exciting things happening, at least for me: It has a barometer! Joining the ranks of the Galaxy Nexus, Note, and Moto Xoom. Except, I think the SGS3 is way more popular than any of those others (by a couple orders of magnitude in some cases). I'm the developer of pressureNET, an open source Android project to build a live, global barometer network. The project has seen solid growth, but…

The Android manufacturers cited deliveries to stores as sales for the first generation of pads too. That didn't exactly work out...

Given that a barometer is seemingly so rare on the market (and your app is probably one of the few set to take advantage of it) maybe you could talk to Samsung about a cross-promotional type deal? It could allow them to further differentiate and market their phone, and you'd get your data!

As someone else has pointed out, talk to Samsung. I don't know where you're based, but they have regional teams that do developer outreach. I've found them to be very helpful.

Do you remember how much fun they had with the size of the Galaxy Note? BGR,buisinessinsider,gruber,siegler,the verge,... The whole techmeme club. Then Samsung sold 5 million Notes in the first months.
A ton of films get trashed by critics and imdb then go on to be commercially successful. That doesn't mean it was a good piece of film. More likely it was accessible everywhere and well marketed.
