just my hapence-
The Galaxy SIII mini looks like a nice phone and seems a good option for people who don’t want the massive tablet-like phones that are so popular nowadays.
But…
The Galaxy SIII mini apparently isn’t officially sold in the U.S.
While it will work on Sprint, AT&T and other GSM networks, it won’t work on Verizon’s CDMA network 🙁
info from Amazon’s q&a section from the Galaxy SIII mini page
