I have the Galaxy S III and I love it, with one exception... I'm not a huge fan of TouchWiz, their custom UI for Android. Some things are nice, but most of it I could do without.
As for battery life, I just learn to live with it... I never get what is reported. But, I also have a lot of services running in the background. I know I could get better battery life without them, but then you also don't have as many cool features.
