There is a 20 minute video by SABDFL here:
http://www.ubuntu.com/devices/phone which is well worth making time to
watch. He says that any phone which runs the Android kernel will run the
Ubuntu kernel.

I also have a Samsung Galazy S3 Android phone and will be very reluctant to
upgrade it to Ubuntu as it is a top of the range item unless there is a
thoroughly tried, tested and proven upgrade path to take.
