Is it possible to disable the LED when the phone is off?

This is my first foray into the smartphone world for a long time. Tried out my brothers S3 and really want one.
Now it's just a case of finding a good contract deal. I'm definitely more of an internet user than minutes user at least.

Forgot to mention,
Probably a huge annoyance, but all these threads are kinda huge.
Anyone wanna give me a quick run down on all these ROMs I hear about? Also, anyone know of any good deals? I see a 24 month T-Mobile contract can get me 2k minutes and unlimited everything for £33 a month. Looks good upfront but I'm a novice to all this, as embarrassing as that sounds. I was never a fan of mobile phones.
Doubt I'd come close to those minutes but the unlimited internets is definitely something I like.
Edit: Oh, and can anyone recommend a good case? Normal or those flip cases?
Cheers.

JB is due at the end of the month.
I just moved from the Iphone 4s about 2 weeks ago to the samsung (had the Iphone 4s since launch) and ill never go back to Apple. If youve ever been in a group where 4 of 5 of you are on iphones and they all look the same and youve thought, man i wish i could be different then the S3 is for you. With a ton of mods available to customise your phone to however you like it (green, red, blues, whites, ringtones etc etc) you can change it.
Its this amount of customisation that scares most apple users (ie the options can be overwealming). a lot of the times, i like just pushing this phone to the limit (trying out every rom available lol).
S3
* Larger screen (this is a huge boon over the iphone)
* HD resolution (equivalent to iphone res, however the amoled and pentile seems to add a faint hue, iphone 5 will prob have a much much better screen)
* Roms (and the ease of installing the roms)
* Customisation (you can literally customise everything on this phone)
Iphone 4s
The only thing I think apple have over android at the moment is the app store. Whilst all of the major apps (facebook, youtube, twitter etc etc etc) work on android, there are some funny apps that just dont work well (if not at all). There arent many in this category, and they are usually gimmicky apps (ie im really after a good itunes remote app).
The other issue is when searching the app store. Its not like itunes where if you see one app developer and like whatever it is he has designed, you cant browse all of his designed apps (search function is really poor).
Also when you are just browsing apps, and you scroll down lets say 50 apps and click on one to read the description, going back puts you back at the top of the list forcing you to have to scroll through 50 apps again till you can browse ones you havent seen. Slightly annoying but not enough for me to be a deal breaker.
The iphone is the phone you buy your grandmother (ie requires little support, user cant really break it, and its relatively easy to operate, ie a bike on trainerwheels). The S3 is the phone you get yourself for xmas and smile like a little kid when you open it.
You can do that, you can see more from that developer and what users also installed.
Just upgraded from my HTC Desire to a Samsung Galaxy S3, difference is amazing so glad i did it.
Just a quick question, anyone got a recommendation on like a sleeve/case to protect it?
also does anyone know how to stop it displaying email addresses when you go into Messages and then click to choose a recipient? is a bit annoying.

Help! Just got this phone a couple of days ago, really liking it - coming from a Desire, the screen alone had me collecting my jaw from the floor.
I have a couple of issues tho. The first is that I have a problem with forms - particularly logins, such as this very site. The site itself loads fine, but when I fill out the boxes and submit, it just returns an error as if the site was down. It doesn't happen on my other Android devices (one of which is honeycomb, one of which was gingerbread). It also doesn't happen on every site - Reddit, for example, works okay. It does, however, happen in both the stock browser and Dolphin.
The second problem, fairly minor, is that images have trouble loading in apps using wifi. On websites they're fine, but in apps such as Wapedia or the Cracked.com app, they just don't load (I get the little blue square error thing).
The third little niggle isn't a niggle at all. What does the little clock in the weather widget mean? I'm talking about this one, next to the time. I assumed it was a notification that auto-update was on, but it was still there when I turned it off.
Thanks for any answers

Daylight savings?
I've moved from my 2yr old+ iphone 4 to a Galaxy S3. I like the Android OS and the S3 itself is fast and fluid to use, so absolutely no complaints with usability. I've also got all my music/videos across from itunes as well so have all the content I wanted and with the SD slot can have all of it on the phone at one time.
The one negative thing that has struck me though is that looking at the S3 face on, with brightness on auto or when dialled up to full the on screen whites just aren't white. I'm comparing the white background in e-mail or when browsing the web and they have more of a grey/off white cast to them when sat beside the old iphone or my nexus 7 tablet.
It's sort of balanced out by photo's having more pop than on the iphone screen (I'm talking ones I've taken with dslr, scaled down and viewed on both handsets) but I do wonder if there's something I can do about the off whites ?
