Bummer. I wish ATT would have this soon.

The one I wanted...but on vzw. GF got the edge+ in gold and the front is gorgeous

Kind of annoying they didn't have this 2 weeks ago when I got my white one.

Anyone familiar with jump on demand here? I have the blue note 5, could I "jump" to the gold version?

The gold Note 5 is available on Sprint as well.

Just got one today. Woot! They got 2 64GB gold models in today while I was standing there. Ha-ha. The T-Mobile guy asked if I had about 10mins to wait because he wanted to show me the gold model if I was ibterested, and I said I'll take it. He put the black one back and an employee got the other one. Not really that much gold though...more like a yellowish chrome kinda but definitely cool looking. Glad I waited for him to inventory it and snag it for me.

It's finally available on AT&T

I just jumped from the N4 to the gold 64gb N5 and it's definitely one of the most visually appealing devices I've ever had. I've a lot of white lately but the gold is where it's at.

I think sprint just got the gold option recently as well. I really wish they would have brought the emerald green over to the us in the note and s6 line. That green on the s6 edge overseas was just sexy as hell
Too bad they opened up with the 2 most boring colors. I would have got the gold if it was available at the time.

Late on this one, but in case anyone was wondering: I was told this doesn't work UNLESS you jump to a different memory size. It was from a phone rep so take it with a grain of salt

Verizon has it now as well but only 32GB, like the white one. The black is through only 64GB for some stupid reason.
If verizon had the gold 64GB I'd change my black for the gold...I love that phone in gold

Which colour?

So look like pre-orders in the UK are going ahead on Friday. I went to the Samsung experience store in London today to take a look and choose a colour. However they didn't have the two colours I am trying to decide between: Gold or Green.
Has anyone had hands on with either of these? I cant quite decide if I like the green, I do like a phone a little different, so it probably will be my choice.
Is it possible to do a poll on here of the colours?
I wonder if all colors will be available right away at launch.
Samsung is known for releasing different colors of phones over time.
I think I'm going for Platinum Gold, depending on how noticeable fingerprints look. It looks very professional and sleek. I know the Pearl White one conceals fingerprints the most but I'm bored of white already.
The Emerald Green also looks extremely sexy. I really want to see them all before I choose one.
I will be going for the gold variant if it is available at AT&T
Green of course.
I pre-ordered black Edge
green if it will ever land in bahrain or saudi lol.
Pre orderd the 128 GB Black edition.
Looking forward to it.

I pre-ordered a black one, but now having seconds thoughts about a gold one. I am afraid to change my order, as I am unsure whether Samsung will have enough phones to send out when it becomes available.
Im going to get the green one with 128gb. It is for me by far the best looking edge version

definitely go for green...!
Looks like T-Mobile will only be getting the Black and White models in to start then Gold later on.
If you read the comments on their youtube video they say that

I will be holding out for the gold. Black and white are too normal need a nice color for a phone like this.

If thats the case thats not too bad. I can wait a couple of more weeks for the Gold.
Emerald Green
I initially went with white... Only becasue I always have black phones and wanted a change.. then I saw pics of the green one... Oh Yeah.... that looks pretty sleek to me.. So I went ahead and swapped my order..
128gb Emerald Green....
saw the black one in a store the other day and placed a preorder straight away! It's not just black it has a blue/green pearlescent sheen that looks stunning. the white has a similar effect but nowhere near as nice and I expect the green one will be similar.
The black one is definitely the best looking imo. once you see this phone in the flesh you realise that the s6 edge is a real game changer. probably the best looking phone ever made and it's as slim as phones are ever going to need to get. wish I could go into cryogenic stasis and wake up on the 10th of april!

just as i predicted, pretty pathetic of samsung as usual. over market, never deliver. my guess is many carriers wont see nothing at all except W/B colors. lots of disappointment when people cant buy the color they want.

darn it, this phone is making me unfaithful to the note line

I have always been faithful to the note line and always upgraded to the latest models, but i cannot lie that the s6 edge is truly the first line from the "S" models that will make me go for a smaller phone. Anybody feeling the same way?
the emerald green keeps shouting *buy me buy me* lol

The Edge is a thing of true beauty..however I'm sure the Note 5 will be spectacular and I just can't return to the 'Dark Side' of small phones

Yep, I have the Note 4, but that S6 Edge looks like a thing of beauty, and I haven't really used the S-pen as much as I thought. And a slightly smaller, pocket friendly phone would be okay.
So I have preordered the green S6 Edge. Couldn't resist!
Hold your money i would say. Note 5 will bring this little piece to shame. Trust me note line is the real landmark of Samsung.

Well, I live in Denmark, so it probably won't help you, but ordered it at callme.dk
Should arrive on the 11th of April, they said.
Un saudi no word yet of the green one
me too, going from the note 3 to the edge because the n4 wasn't enough of an upgrade for me. I fully expect to be selling the edge to pay for a note 5 when it comes out tho

Danish here myself, and the green one wont arrive until june. It even says in stock unknown with callme if you check. All other colors will arrive on the 10th except green. If you check everywhere else in Denmark you will se they all say green wont arrive until June. So you are in for a long wait unless you pick a different color.

Bugger, that doesn't sound good. Strange they don't tell me then.
Here in US I'm seriously thinking about it but... I got the very expensive ($900) Note Edge 1st day out. This phone is awesome once you master customizing the edge screen. After using it for awhile it feels very natural. unless you own one it's very hard to understand just how useful the edge is. Don't get me wrong though, I am going to buy the S6Edge but only because it's shinny and new. "The Galaxy Note 5 Edge* is the only real upgrade for me. If the 32g Note Edge cost me $900.(which is the most expensive device I ever purchased) I guess the newly designed metal and glass 128g Galaxy Note 5 Edge will cost? $OMG$

haha for sure.
but for a different perspective, when the note edge was released in the middle east it was around 1100 USD. the 32 gb s6 edge is around 826 USD on launch

I've just been in contact with them, because I wanted to know if this was true. Thankfully, they said that I preordered it early enough to be in the 'first wave' that gets it on the 10th/11th of April. So that makes me happy!
But of course it's not good news for people who ordered later/too late, and therefore have to wait until the 'second wave' of the green Edge phones arrive.
UPDATE: Bugger. In spite of their promise, they have now told me that it will be delayed to late may or beginning of June...

S6 edge+, Note 5 or iPhone 6 Plus-Which one should i buy?

I already own Galaxy S5 and Galaxy Alpha, so that's why i'm thinking about buying iPhone 6 Plus, but i really like N5 and S6 edge+ ...what do you people think? Which one should i buy, which one would you buy?
I vote Edge+. This phone is simply stunning and a powerhouse. Just got my gold one today! AT&T.

Thanks for your reply, edge+ is probably the one i will buy but i'm not sure yet, it will arrive in stores in a few days so i need to see it in person first, but that's the one i'm betting my money on the most at this moment
You can see it now at Best Buy...it is beautiful. My last 2 phones I stayed away from Samsung with a G3 and Nexus 6...but as soon as I saw the Edge plus I knew I would be buying it. I preordered and pick it up Friday. Can't wait!!!

Nice selection... :good: Got the same, going to pick today.
Just got my Gold Platinum from UPS about an hour ago. Holy freaking &#*^! This phone is so flippin beautiful. I'm in love. Samsung hit a home run with this one. The people that are whining and complaining about not having an SD card slot and removable battery are gonna be sorry they didn't upgrade.
I ordered the 64GB Gold Platinum Edge+!! Can't wait til it gets here!!
I use prepaid Puretalkusa mobile so no need to select color provided by ATT or T-Mobile and hence bought factory unclocked Silver color from ebay whih i wil get on wednesday.I also ordered skins from slickwraps(hero series and metal silver) and I am going to change the look of my phone very 6 months with skins I ordered and why not it looks so damm beautifull.
Get the Note 5, Edge+ is cool and stunning looking but I personally think edge features are not worth the premium price. Give me a S Pen over an edge.
Sent from my SM-N920T using Tapatalk
Listen this Edge+ is the best looking phone I have ever had and I've had just about every flagship device over the years (outside of apple) and this phone is the most gorgeous piece of technology I have ever owned. Get the Edge+ you won't regret it!!
wait for 6s
Get the edge plus or wait for the 6S Plus. Both be great phones.

Limited colors for S7 and S7 Edge

Anyone else disappointed that it'll only come in Black Onyx and Gold Platinum for the S7 while the S7 Edge will also come in Silver Titanium? I wonder if it's because of supply issues due to releasing it earlier this year.

I wouldn't think so. The colors them selves are just paint or stickers.
I do not think so, there should be 1 distinctions
From the looks of it, the UK only seems to be getting gold or black anyway. No sign of white or silver on the S7 or S7 Edge. Would love someone to correct me though. I really want a silver S7 Edge...
On a related note, the UK/EU website make no mention of a free GearVR for pre-orders (the US site does). That's despite their presentation saying that Europe would be getting that perk.
Canada seems to be getting a black/silver s7 and black s7 edge, strange that all colors are not available.

Good news indeed. Although I ran out of patience and ordered through CPW!
They make the white Note 5 and after a few months, they dont make it anymore. Dont know why the color stop.
I was bummed to find out that Samsung has only made the Black and Gold color options available-- I was really hoping to get the Silver or White. And, according to the Samsung rep, they don't why the decision was made or when the other 2 colors will be made available.
I'm hoping Samsung will surprise us and release the other colors on March 11 and I'll exchange the Gold I pre-ordered for one of the new colors.

CWH is not giving the gear VR with sim free purchases.
I ended up pre-ordering the S7 Edge in black, since the other two colors are too reflective (which looks tacky to me) and there is no white option. I wish they would have made them less reflective.

They are if you look at their terms and conditions. I phoned to double check as well. The first person I spoke to said the same, until I showed her the website and she checked with her manager.
SIM free orders have to wait up to 5 days for delivery of the headset after the phone though.

It's will be available SOME day lol
By the way - at Verizon, the Gear VR/G2 promotion is only available if you purchase the phone at full price through their payment plan... Luckily, I get my phone through work and am still grandfathered into unlimited data so I just used another work line's available upgrade.

What color?

I can only seem to find the Titan Gray color in photos and videos. Even if the silver is shown, it isn't shown in detail, so I can't get a good look at it.
So now I'm curious:
What color seems to be the most desired from XDA users? (What color will you be getting?)
I used to always get black phones, but if there's an unusual color, like red, purple, or the Note7's Coral Blue which I have), then I'll get that. I never get gold. I don't know why, but I don't like gold.

I ordered a grey one. I had a white phone the last few years so I wanted something else. Too bad they didn't have gold though. I was really thinking to go with that color if they offered it.
Silver
Probably silver, really like my aluminum looking Nexus6 P!
Going titan, closes thing to black
Wow this thread is so racist, don't you know the phone can identify as whatever color it feels it is? After all, it's ((((current year))))
I'm going with whatever color my carrier has available for pre-order Monday.
Most of us buying from a carrier probably won't have a color choice.
I guess I'll be getting what t-mobile is carrying...

Yeah,that's how it was w/T-Mobile's HTC 10 (& previous iterations as well,I believe).
As for LG,we should know something as soon as pre-orders start.
FWIW,the G5 has two color choices,but,at least in my area,on launch,only one color was available/in-stock.
This is the only reason I may pre-order,& AFAICT,there's no way to find out what choices the stores are going to have on-hand on 10/28.
Whatever T-Mobile will have Monday to pre-order.

silver all day baby. the contrast it has with the dark screen looks like sex
Silver. From what I can tell in videos it's actually more metallic looking than the get g5. The titan colored v20 also looks darker than the titan g5. I'm really looking forward to seeing them in person hopefully tomorrow.

just ordered mine. 12 am EST. all they currently had available for pre-order was the titan. which is the color i wanted anyways
Probably silver.
However, I'd like to wait until pre rooted tot or dz ROM released.
I will trade V10 in.
I am getting my Titan(black) V20 today.
I was hoping that after seeing what color others here were getting, then maybe I'd be able to make a decision, lol.
For those of you who got the silver version, is the color actually silver, or is it really just white but CALLED silver
Does the front silver parts match the color of the back?
And is the silver like a brushed aluminum?
I LOVE the color combination of blue and silver, so I was thinking of getting silver and putting on a blue case. The case will obviously cover the back, so I'm hoping the the front will still be silver and not an white color.

I have had the Titan colored one since October 29th..... they didn't have Silver in stock when I went to look at it. Just saw the silver yesterday and it definitely looks nice. Now I am having buyer's remorse for not picking/waiting for it..... should I take a hit ($) and trade back in on the silver? Its past 14 days, so I am not sure what Verizon will do if I do that? Are there any polls showing which is selling better: Tittan vs Silver?
I have the rose gold/pink one.
