If anything it'd be the S6, I think the Edge version will be more vulnerable to screen damage when dropped (you can't have a protective lip around all 4 sides of the screen). Besides, it's supposedly quite a bit more expensive, and I'm not impressed with the additional features, I don't think they're worth the premium.

I have reservations about the curved glass but damn it's a sexy beast. I'll see what the price points are for each and go from there.

Just noticed something on the Edge models now that we're getting photos from the journo-samples. On the Edge models the display spills over onto the side displays, it's NOT kept completely on the flat section. I don't think I like this....

Yes, that is a feature of the Edge version.

It is very nice, but, if the Edge costs more, I'd rather pay that extra money for more internal storage.

Depends upon rugged case availability and pricing. Haven't seen any Edge cases?

I'm a case guy, and that's the main worry for me with the Edge. I'm very careful with my stuff, but I'm also very paranoid (and like a good resale) so I'd have to have something. I already have some Spigen screen protectors and a case coming for the S6 that I got for $2 total, so that helps. But I like the additions on the Edge. It's probably the best looking phone, in my opinion of course, that I've ever seen - and I never thought I'd say that about a Sammy device.

I prefer the regular S6. Cheaper to maintain/fix if something goes wrong after the warranty; more choices on accessories too and cheaper.

While I can't see myself getting either (haven't touched Samsung since s3), if I had to pick it would probably be the edge just for its look.

Almost any phone that moves away the 100% candy bar look will at least catch my attention.

White Edge 64GB. Already arranged to have April 9-10 off in in case I pre-order and it gets here on the 9th or if I stand in line at Verizon on 10th. either way, I am getting it.
