Signal reception can be solved by flashing the appropriate modems as suggested on xda forum. I think sammy is working on firmware update on those issues. And luckily i havent got any black spots on my screen.

Stupid accu weather widget doesn't have updated name for my city, cant help it
Price was 36.5k locally.
Lucky you are not having any spots
Flashing a custom rom is out of question for many users out there including me. I might indulge in rooting and installing custom roms later on but not at the moment.Where did you read that Samsung is working on an update for these issues? Post link please

That was the first thread i read when i googled my problem immediately after finding it out. Dissapointing at first, but not really a big problem.
And link for update news? I already know Jelly Bean is in developement, but any other update rolling out soon? Tell me about it.

Got myself a white one too. Yesterday. 36.9k in Bengaluru.
Haven't tried out all those Synthetic Benchmarks, but yeah, I am dissapointed with the Lag in the Touchwiz, specially since this is mentioned as the Best SmartPhone money can buy right now, by several of the geek sites...
I'm a first time Android user. Still getting a hang of things. I thought this was common to all, but after looking at this review, I guess my dissapointment was not unwarranted after all....

Nice review.
BTW, My brother bought S3 a week ago and so i get a chance to use it for that weekend. So here's my short review on that, with my 2 days of complete, rough usage. I also used HTC One X for a week, which i borrowed from my colleague.
Build : HTC One X wins, without any doubt here. I don't like the same plasticy feel for a 37k phone. And the back cover was easily prone to scratches. He has to buy an Case for that, to make the surface scratch-free.
Package - Seriously, no cable for TV Viewing. I mean for 37k, they gave us some Sagar hotel dosa, but what we expected is an Start hotel dosa. Shitty package, and same as my I9003. WTF!!!
Screen - One word, Awesome! I love it and especially for games and movies.
UI - Same shitty, yet bit improved Samsung UI. Told my bro to update it, but he refused as he is very scared of installing new one.
Camera - Good. But you cannot declare it as excellent. Although, ability to take pictures while recording video is nice inclusion.
Browsing - Big screen, crispy and clear text make browsing a breeze.
Battery - Even with such medium-hard usage, it lasted for a day, which is more that good for me.
Sound - Good, but the loudspeaker is a bit crampy and not clear.
Calling - Good.
Overall : 4/5
Still i feel like, my brothers been ripped off. I advised him to go with HTC One X, but he is coherent in choosing S3, for no reason. And if i get a chance to buy one, i'd definitely go with One X.

About the dark spot issue i too have the same.I think almost all the s3 users have this same issue.But i am living with it.Because only if you look for it you find it.And once you find it you will get a little regret that after spending this amount this aint supposed to happen.Anyway nothing comes perfect in this world.lol. So people with S3 please dont look for them, ink spots, if you haven't noticed them.Its a very common thing as far as AMOLEDs are concerned.Might as well soon be listed as a feature of the AMOLED screens..lol..
And i have already seen worse cases on Moto RAZRs when i checked some forums.So i think we got pretty lucky.

Yeah I have the ink mark on my s3 screen but it's not much of an issue.
