CyanogenMod's a huge improvement on factory-loaded Android where openness is concerned. Were I buying a smartphone, I would make sure CyanogenMod fully supports the hardware and plan on reflashing it immediately. In fact, 'don't trust preloads' seems like a good policy with pretty much any computing device, where feasible.
I agree.
Well.... been there, done that with the Galaxy S, I'm not going to root my S3 any time soon. Besides from what I've seen, I think CyanogenMod is "too close" to iOS in appearance; I would rather keep stock launcher or perhaps the Launcher Ex (which I ran on the Galaxy S).
However one problem is that you often lose features when doing that. Last time I checked there was a replacement image for my Xperia X10 phones which had the down-side of lacking camera support!
Yes, and there will be OTA updates to Jelly Bean soon too I expect. The main thing is to get AU stock phone with full manufacture warranty (2 yrs on the S3) and Samsung direct stock, not unlocked branded stock from Sloptus or Vodafail or any other "carrier" phone.
