NFC, you can disable it in the "More Settings" section near the top of the settings menu.
You don't need one. I personally prefer to use one just so that I can clear any leftovers from the last install with ease.Can someone link me or name me a good cheap SD card for this?Gathering I need one to flash a new rom?
If you do, I use a Verbatim Class 10 from Amazon, that's said to be a proper class 10, a Samsung card is also a good choice.
Very odd, but it might be worth coming back to it later

Excellent thanks. It was really starting to bug me.

I got my S3 from Orange today as an upgrade and all seems to be good.
The battery seems to go a bit fast but i think it will take a few charges.
The other thing i noticed is when you go into settings and about phone there is no software update option why is this?
I also purchased one of these: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Samsung-Leather-Flip-Galaxy-Anymode/dp/B0081YO4JK/ref=cm_cr_pr_sims_t
It's a pretty tight fit and seems really tight when closed from the top and and does not open and close very easy it is supposed to be so tight?

Some carriers remove some features... Maybe Orange removed the OTA update feature
Otherwise, welcome to the club

T-Mobile do the same. My mum's S3 doesn't have the Software Update button either but mine, which is also T-Mobile, does have it. Difference being mine came as an unlocked version which they seem to have done for the first batch of Pebble Blue phones (mum's is white).
I think they rushed the PB ones out too quickly due to the delay with them which stopped them from putting their own crap on it

Thanks. I also have the pebble blue looks cool.
Does not having the OTA feature really make a difference?

What 'features' does it have? As well as it not being very economical with space, I just found it harder to use, longer to add events etc. I seem to remember I couldn't see everything in week view?

Just means you have to plug it into a pc to update it that's all, but then it probably won't be long till you give in and start using a custom rom anyway

same here...I've got the CM9 package on my sd card but I'm putting it off lol
would I need to do a full wipe going from one 4.0.4 ROM to another 4.0.4 ROM?

It's recommended, you can always do it without then if you get any problems go back and full wipe it.

What kind of battery life did you guys get on your first charge?
Have they fixed the video player bug? Can you now watch YouTube videos in landscape?
Yep Vsync and Memory leak both fixed. Only scrolling lag issues with some apps.
Settings -> More Settings -> Portable wi-fi hotspot
Turn that on, the phone will now become an access point - should be able to get the PC to connect to that..
