Don't worry I'm glad you won't get one because I will have the better phone than your self. So congrats on making yourself sound stupid!!!

    I dont get the point of having this edge, maybe at first you will be amazed(almost everyone nowadays loves change), but let me have my experience in the long run, I get irritated with the reflection from lights because of those bend. second there is no sd slots(now we're buying instant storage 5x times the price), poor battery stamina because of that qHD ( hey you need more charging quickly = more need electricity power = more money expenses) + quick charge = goodbye savings. btw movies and series is fullHD and 720p.And for my opinion its not beautiful as it looks, still looks like samsung copy the iphone 6 (embarassing)

      The problem is the price. In Colombia the price of the S6 Edge is almost 1000 dollars, No matter how great the phone you don't buy a phone that expensive, and honestly the s6 and S6Edge doesn't look like an expensive and classy phone like for example the HTC M9. I wanted the S6 Edge but with the price of that phone I think I'll see other options.

Apple and other Android OEM's just can dream about. What rest for you is only to try bashing and spitting about this subject. Move forward man or buy some Samsung shares and be involved.

          On launch day bestbuy were giving free wireless chargers. T-Mobile were giving 1 year Netflix for free with purchase. Samsung needs all the help it can get. Things are going to get rough. This is the make it or break it model for Samsung vs. Apple battle. But thus far it looks like Apple is winning.

              In the UK they are already selling the S6's with big discounts.

              One way to boost the sales figures even if the profit margins are reduced.

                As for M9 vs S6 Camera. I'd rather have the 20MP on the M9, with an SD Slot to.

                  as for the Camera, there's no replacement for more pixels. The M9 camera problems will be solved through a software update

                    LOL
                    And all the tech sites slyly hide the on-conract prices of S6 and S6 Edge (between $500+ and $600) in Korea right now.
                    The state have problems with the operators last months
                    The dirty trick that the iMedia do, is to connect the case in Korea with the global sale of S6-S6 Edge.

                        Galaxy S6 Active will not help Samsung.
                        Because It will be more expensive.

                                By in time Samsung will falling.
                                Now, the Biggest Samsung's Competitor is the Chinese brand with affordable price.
                                Sometimes a innovation will not help you.
                                Price will talk more.

                                  I would buy Note 4 instead of S6. The Edge device is totally pointless unless it gives some significant functionality for the cost difference. Also, S6 does not have replaceable battery, SD Card Slots etc...

                                    This is due to the newly enacted law called Dantongbeob. It prohibits most of subsidies from telecome companies so Korean consumers should buy a smartphone at a steep price nearly without a subsidy. Iphone sales in Korea also has been declined rapidly for a few week. There is virtually no sales for the newly LG G4.
