Two new flavors of the popular Samsung Galaxy S III smartphone are now available for purchase on the network of wireless carrier Verizon, namely the recently spotted Amber Brown and Black versions.

The two new color variants of the high-end mobile phone can be purchased for $199.99 on contract at the wireless carrier, the same as the previously released Blue and White versions.

Moreover, the specifications list of the new device remains unchanged from the original variant, allowing users to benefit from the same great performance levels.

For those out of the loop, we should note that Galaxy S III was launched at Big Red with a 4.8-inch 1280x720 16M HD Super AMOLED display on the front, capable of delivering a great viewing experience to all users.

Moreover, the device comes with a dual-core 1.5GHz processor inside, complemented by 2GB of RAM and 16GB of internal memory, as well as with support for up to 64GB of additional storage space via microSD memory card slot.

On the back, the smartphone features an 8-megapixel photo snapper with support for recording videos in full HD. A 1.9MP front camera was included to offer video chatting capabilities.

The smartphone arrived on shelves with Wi-Fi (802.11 a/b/g/n) and Bluetooth connectivity, Wi-Fi Direct, Bluetooth 4.0, A-GPS, Gyroscope, Compass, Proximity sensor, Accelerometer and the like.

Running under Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich (set to taste Android 4.1 Jelly Bean soon), the smartphone is also loaded with various applications and features from Samsung and Verizon.

“The Verizon Galaxy S III is exclusively pre-loaded with the Color app, allowing users to share up to 60 seconds of live video with full audio and photos their Facebook friends instantly,” Verizon notes on its website.

“Viewdini brings the power of Verizon Wireless' 4G LTE network to the screen by streamlining access to videos from a wide range of content providers, including cable operators, websites and other popular video sources.”

Bootloader still locked. Verizon bloatware still clogging the arteries.

The fact that the Windows OS won't be open sourced, makes it difficult to see a time when that OS on a phone won't be teeming spyware from the phone company. I think that's where Android has a real advantage towards privacy. If you're so inclined you can get a clean rom (CyanogenMod for example) and replace the OS so you know what's on your phone and you control it.. not the wireless company. I think this is one clear case where open source gives people the ability to take control of their own device to a certain degree, which is a great benefit to OSS. Now we just need encryption so that the phone companies can hand over reams of gibberish to the government phone tapping agencies for their inspection. It's just a matter of time.
