Is it as good as the iPhone 6? /s
Sorry couldn't help it
Note 4
Har.
Why didn't they go ahead and put the USB-C connector? Would this be the last flagship phone with the legacy USB port?
Can't say as I obviously don't know Samsung's plans, but chances are the S6 was in development plenty long enough to not be considered as a USB-C device. And considering how much of a flop the USB 3.0 port on the S5 was, I wouldn't be surprised if they were taking it easy on switching connectors.
I have a feeling we're gonna see many more phones released with standard Micro USB.
I know you don't drive much but how easy is it to use in car mode? If you receive a text, how easy is it to respond only with voice? Definitely don't want it to be a distraction. Currently have a Moto X and this is one feature that is extremely important for me.

I'll have to punt on this one for now. We'll see if I can test later.
Could you do a little scratch test on the back with keys maybe?
I don't plan on it. It's glass, it'll scratch. Its far more valuable for me to find out how easily it scratches after normal use, not some "test" where I force it.
Sorry if this was already asked, but does the glass on the back get fingerprints super easily that are noticeable (I'm guessing the answer is going to be different depending on what color you have)?
It gets quite fingerprinty. It won't change based on the color you have, really — it's the same glass regardless.
My S6 edge gets hot while updating apps and sometimes while switching networks. Does this happen to you guys as well?
It gets warm like any other phone gets warm. The glass back will definitely transfer heat a bit more than a thick plastic one would, though.
Thanks for answering all the questions as others have said.
doing my best.
But I need to know this asap for sure. How does the screen handle a sunny day? Back when I had the S4 I had to have the screen at max brightness to see ANYTHING when it was sunny out.
Just like the Note 4 it's pretty darn nice outdoors. Sunny day today in Seattle, I plan on walking around a bit to test more.
Are you finding the camera hump annoying

No more annoying than the camera hump on previous Samsung phones
Have you used the HTC One M9? Which one feels better to hold in the hand in terms of grip, comfortable use.
M9, S6 or the Edge?

I've touched the M9 for a short period. The M9 is easier in the hand considering its curved back. The flat glass on the back of the S6 is just has hard to hold as it was on the Nexus 4, Sony's Xperia phones and the Xiaomi Mi Note... it's just not super hand-friendly. The S6 edge is definitely a bit tougher to hold considering the lack of metal on the sides.
How smooth is the up/down and left/right scrolling in webpages and apps? Is it as smooth as the iphone 6/6+ and nexus 6? Is the scrolling jittery or laggy at all?
Thanks for answering questions
Web pages in Chrome seem pretty good, and that's taking into consideration that Chrome just isn't all that fast on mobile as we all know. Apps are quick, though I've seen a couple funky slowdowns in Hangouts — but that app is just not the fastest.
