German ROM is all I think. Warranty should be 2 years and covered in the UK?
Can someone confirm?
Yes on both counts. European warranty is covered by Samsung UK
Pre-orders have opened on Samsung.it so hopefully UK won't be far behind.
Free wireless charging kit for a limited time.

Just noticed through Quidco you can get 3% cashback on all sales directly through the Samsung UK site...so it will be interesting to see the price they put it up at.
The wireless charger offer would certainly be a bonus.

The difference in price is clearly covering for the 'free' wireless charger.
Mono on the side, we're a third of the way, may be the Note 5's greater real estate will allow stereo front facers.

Unfortunately there's little chance of front-racing speakers on a flagship Samsung in the coming years. They've just gone for the full-on premium look-and-feel and front-facing speakers would go against that.

Front facing/stereo speakers don’t bother me. The physical size of a phone means there is always going to pretty low bar in terms of the relative quality you can produce. For example, while the HTC One might boast having the best speakers on a smartphone, they are still horrible compared to even the cheapest desktop speakers. Are they really ‘the best’ speakers or just the ‘least tinniest’?
Secondly, I wouldn't have much use for them. Can’t stand people who use the loudspeakers on their phone in public and no matter how good my phone is I would never use it for major media consumption anyway.
Front facing stereo speakers enhance the media experience 10 fold. Mainly Youtube for while I'm having lunch or wherever. Stereo effects and clearer audio go along way. I don't want to be tethered to my phone or have to remember my headphones.
And with bezels this big, it should have had it. But as always, drip feeding features are the norm.
And people who use their loudspeakers in public will do it regardless of speaker quality, as they do it now anyway with mono ones.

Horse manure, it's the difference between having very tinny speakers and noticeably less, but still tinny none-the-less speakers.
Horse for courses but I'm not prepared to lose the physical home keys in order for slightly enhanced audio. I also think the finger print scanner is more useful.
Got to agree, speakers are VERY low down on my requirements list.
Getting harassed by CPW as I signed up for updates. They're ringing me constantly, answered a few times but they won't tell me any details
Anyone else spoke to them?

We may be close to seeing Pre-Order prices from the networks soon...
When you type in Samsung S6 on google it shows an ad from Vodafone which quotes
Also it now appears Samsung's add says something similar.
Can't screenshot in work however hopefully all should become clear by the end of this week and I can finally make my decision on what to go for
When you click the link it simply takes you to the page to register your interest if Vodafone and the Samsung link just to the product page.
The user manual also now shows on the Samsung product site.

Is the protection you get the only reason you suggest using a CC? or is there some other money saved i'm not aware of?
