I think I'll go with a basic Note 4..or 5.

Think I've decided to go with the Note 4, or wait on the Note 5. I loved the Edge.
But, in the end, I drop my phone. Not a lot, but I do drop it.
I think the fear that I'd smash that beautiful and useful edge up, even with a case, would outweigh it's usefulness to me.
I take a LOT of pix with my phone. Yesterday I actually went back to a graveyard sign to take some tulip pix. lol. Hey, the light was right, never miss a shot. I work with graphics a lot.
I read a review where a guy was fumbling around with the Edge to take pix. On one hand it seemed like that button on the top edge was easier, more like as SLR camera. But when I went to the store yesterday, and played with it more, it was a little cumbersome to use. My hand kept kind of flipping off of the edge part to grip it.
I have decided though that it's time to move up in size and useability from my S4. The Note series seems to offer great things.
While the Edge is an awesome piece of equipment, it may not be for everyone.
I'll probalby wait for the Note 5 just to see.

Not sure why you needed to start a thread just to say that. If you can't hold a phone you will need a life proof or otter box case no matter what phone you have. Better not get a S6 Edge. No phone is for everyone thats why their is so many to choose from.

You mean, after all of those posts you made asking questions, you will just wait out another 6 months for the Note 5? I'm also not sure who reviewed the Note Edge's picture taking experience but it is far easier than other smartphones I have used. Plus, you don't even have to use the Edge display if you don't want to. You can enable the "tap to take picture" function just like with any other Samsung phone.

Started the thread to follow up on a decision that this forum has been very helpful with. It did convince me of the greatness of a Note.

Yes that is what I mean. Patience and research keep me in phone at least two years.
Plus, a forum is not only helpful to an original poster but questions can lend information from a user community to other readers looking for insights.
I'll try to find that review later and post it.

I'm glad we have lots of Android phones to choose from.
Thanks for all your help.

You didn't research this phone very well, there is a setting so you can say shoot to take a photo.
