Heer's a quick overview from the official LDS.org

Three of Christ’s chosen Nephite disciples referred to in the Book of Mormon.

The Lord granted to these disciples the same blessing granted to John the Beloved—that they might stay on the earth to bring souls to Christ until the Lord comes again. They were translated so that they would feel no pain and would not die (3 Ne. 28).

Christ granted the three disciples’ desire to tarry until his coming, 3 Ne. 28:1–9

They will never suffer the pains of death or sorrow, 3 Ne. 28:7–9

They shall have fulness of joy, 3 Ne. 28:10

They were temporarily caught up into heaven, 3 Ne. 28:13–17 They ministered unto the people and endured persecution, 3 Ne. 28:18–23

They ministered unto Mormon, 3 Ne. 28:24–26 (Morm. 8:10–11).

They will minister to the Gentiles, Jews, scattered tribes, and all nations, 3 Ne. 28:27–29

Satan has no power over them, 3 Ne. 28:39

Here's one from PD's Mormonwiki:

The Three Nephites are three Nephite disciples of Jesus described in the Book of Mormon who were blessed by Jesus to "never taste of death; but ye shall live to behold all the doings of the Father unto the children of men, even until all things shall be fulfilled according to the will of the Father, when I shall come in my glory with the powers of heaven."[1] As related in Third Nephi chapter 28, this change occurred when they were caught up in to heaven.[2][3] Since they will never "taste death", the Nephite prophet Mormon contemplates if they are immortal already.[4] After Mormon prays for wisdom, Jesus tells him that there would be another change made at his coming so that they may become immortal.[5]
