Edge for the UK

Okay the press release reported said that 14 November was the pre order date.
Well the Samsung UK web site mentions the Note Edge but it is not available to pre order. CPW say it is not available for pre order and think it has not been fully tested for UK networks. Stratford Samsung store are not taking pre orders. Vodafone say they are still negotiating with Samsung.
Please add your news and information.

No news but I too was eagerly waiting for more information today.
Vodafone offered me a superb retention deal on the Note 4 but I declined because I dislike the build quality and back cover of the note 4.
However I am willing to overlook these for the extra screen in the edge.
The edge should not be priced higher than the note 4 regardless of additional costs of manufacturing. It should be priced at the same level as the note 4 and simply be the product to tempt customers to Samsung where the Note 4 was not enough. I know I will not pay a premium for this phone and will be expecting the same retention deal when I call Voda on the 28th.

CPW now say Edge is coming in December

It won't be long at all for pre orders. Samsungmobileuk tweeted 8 hours ago approx a cryptic message that was easy to decipher however the price with be expensive at first.

Good thing I didn't wait. I am very happy with my purchase. Using my 3 network sim in it. Super fast and super everything!
I did an unboxing video last week, tomorrow I will upload a couple more videos show edge screen features and the flip wallet. ?

A little birdie tells me Samsung will wait until the Note 4 in Gold goes live and then have the Note Edge up for ordering. ETA 2 weeks time.

Great find. I am getting my one from Korean eBay seller. UK prices from Korea seem to vary from £890 to £760. Cheaper options from Japan but not sure these are LTE compatible with the UK.

Brand New Note 4 $599

http://mynetontherun.com/collections/phones/products/samsung-galaxy-note-4?variant=1035973651
Saw this on Slickdeals. If anyone is looking to get one, this is the lowest price for a brand new Tmobile branded Note 4. NetOnTheRun is a Tmobile MVNO.

Nice find. I bought mine on amazon for $549 brand new.

Wow, that's a great price, technology depreciates fast, argh.

How'd you manage that? I always see higher prices on Amazon for newer mobile devices.

I just happened to stumble upon it when I did a search, it was a private seller. Got lucky

Is it the exact same model as the t-mobile note 4?

That's correct, no where did it mention if it was Brand New or Refurb.

U.S. preorders for the Galaxy S6 may start March 27

I also called Best Buy and pretty much confirmed this as well
Cant wait!!
___________
http://www.phonearena.com/news/Sams...orders-to-start-on-March-27-in-the-US_id67450
We all know that the Galaxy S6 and S6 edge won't be released before April 10 in the US (just like in other parts of the world). What we don't know is when the two new Samsung flagship smartphones will be available to pre-order Stateside, since there's been no official word on the matter. But a Reddit user may have revealed precious details about this.
Reportedly, Best Buy will accept pre-orders for the S6 and S6 edge on March 27. Moreover, another Reddit user (who claims to be a Samsung employee) says that customers who pre-order an S6 or S6 edge for Verizon, AT&T, and Sprint should receive a free wireless charging pad that will normally cost $49.99.
Obviously, for now we can't confirm these details. However, since Samsung is already accepting pre-orders for the S6 and S6 edge in some markets, we're expecting the same thing to happen soon in the US, too.
Off contract prices for the cheapest Galaxy S6 variant (32 GB) could start at $699.99, while the S6 edge 32 GB might cost $799.99. So, who's looking forward to buying Samsung's new Galaxies?

AT&T pre-orders are live.

Haha, let's go team 128GB. Cry with me and join in the drinking away of the sorrows of buying $1000 devices (minus the $50 case, $50 charging pad, and $100 bluetooth headset too -_-)

Yup exactly why Im getting it from Best Buy!

any chance of getting a verizon one from best buy on the 27th? or at least the free wireless pad

Just as a heads up, looks like the 128GB Edge (possible the standard as well, not sure) for AT&T is web-only. This has two implications:
1. It means picking it up in-store might not happen. And if it does, it'll probably be in limited stores.
2. It means, sooner or later, they might not offer that particular SKU at all, and it'll be the first one to go. I forget which device it was that I owned, but they had a "web-only" variant of it that was actually unobtainable after only a few months and I ended up having to get an "alternate" when I got a replacement.
Also, for anyone curious, looks like the asshats at AT&T had to put their stupid branding on the back of the device.

Preordered a regular S6, first over at my local Best Buy.
Black S6 with free black Qi charger and $50 gift card. That seriously can't be beat.

I badly want to do this deal. Unfortunately the discount arrangement I have with AT&T won't carry over if I get it through Best Buy. I am gonna go ahead and buy the wireless charging pad from them though.

Carrier is AT&T. But AT&T and Sprint are both doing this. That's the Best Buy deal going on for all preorders on the S6 and Edge. Free wireless Samsung charger and $50 gift card.

Kind of, I preordered over the phone this morning.
Call up and check if your local shop is doing it. It's funny I beat the news outlets to the news, and still no reporting of it has been made.

As part of the preorder deal, Best Buy forces you to purchase a $50 gift card to use towards the phone when you pick it up. Not a big deal.

Where is the best place to order an unlocked S6?

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.

I ordered my s7 in black.. it was a no brainer since I thing gold is tacky... I would have ordered it in white if it was available.

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.

Preorder thread

I just preordered my S7 on tmous and my order details show "Hero - black", nothing about the S7. Anyone else?

Ordered mine from T-Mobile.

I'll preorder once I can either get the US version with no carrier branding, or the band support info comes out for the 8890 version.

I just pre-ordered mine from Vodafone in the UK, and they're apparently shipping pre-orders for March 8th instead of 11th!

Pre-ordered a black S7 from T-mobile! Might actually switch to them too from AT&T to avoid the hassle of cancelling plans and unlocking the phone haha. Mine shows Galaxy S7 on the order status/email.
