If the Galaxy S6 comes in "regular" and Edge versions, which one are you getting?

If many of the rumors are correct, we should see a regular GS6 and a GS6 Edge.

Which one do you like better and why?

I'm guessing I'd go for the regular unless I see a very distinct 'must have' feature with the curved edges. From the tease renders, though, it doesn't seem like the edges are as wide as the Note Edge, so don't know if they'll even provide any extra functionality at all.

And just like with the Note Edge, I'm worried about how durable these new curved glass edges of the phone are, as well as how slippery.

Oh, and that's IF I get one haha. Very happy with the Note 4 currently, and since I'm a bit of an S-Pen junkie...

It depends on how the edge version is implemented. If it's just like the note edge, probably not. I don't want the edges of my phone having touch targets. I know I will get undesired taps, despite any software actively trying to prevent them.

If it is display only and shows stuff like contextual information, it could be pretty gorgeous if done right.

I'm going to the Edge if I get one at all. Lurking in the Note Edge Forums for a while, and most all have found increased fuctionality with the Edge panel.

Well considering the fact that the Edge will probably be $100-$150 more than the regular, I probably get the regular since its pretty much the same phone without the "edges"

I'm thinking regular. Assuming I give in and finally join the Samsung ecosystem. I'm doubting Nova Launcher will know what to do with the edge portion.

The edge is cool but I always use a case and will be switching to an NFL Otterbox Defender. If Otterbox can offer one that allows access to the edge then I may consider it, but doubt it is workable without making the case wider. Of course this case will also negate all concern about body construction, since it won't be seen and won't matter. My only reasons for upgrade from my S4 will be performance related; CPU, memory, screen, etc.

Try both. My concern would be a limited selection of rugged cases for the Edge version.
