I get 20% off Vodafone too actually through my work, still too much though.

 

[Buddy]

I don't understand people complaining about it being too much?
The monthly prices are equivalent to the iPhone 6 deals?
Am I missing something?

Yes, the diminishing ability to criticize iPhone owners for being mugged off!

the pricing on mobiles.co.uk is odd....

http://www.mobiles.co.uk/shop/samsung/galaxy-s6


S6 Regular, 64GB = 59.99 up front, £48.50 a month
S6 Edge, 64GB = 99.99 up front, £43.50 a month

Which means over 24 months the Edge is cheaper (£1144 for the Edge, 1224 for the regular)?????

Even the 128gb regular is cheaper than the 64gb regular...WTF???

Have you viewed the deals? It's comparing different tariffs.

The edge you quote is just 600mins and 1gig whereas the S6 is Unlimited minutes and 4gig.

Should all be fine - Germany normally get the updates quicker anyway.

You can always flash the UK ROM without voiding warranty.

Ah right, didn't know that a ROM could be flashed without voiding the warranty

All Samsung Pre-Orders from their online store are coming with a £30 Accessory Voucher.

I've stuck my S6 Pre-Order in with them, 3% cashback from Quidco will get me around £14-18 back depending on whether VAT is included in this and the £30 voucher brings it closer to £550 so I'm happy enough with that.

There any decent battery life tests yet?

 

[konicky]

64GB Edge £760 !!

 

[1kiwi]

64GB Edge £760 !!

Haven't told the wife yet I hopeful that I will be happy with this phone for the next few years.

 

[smokedog]

64GB Edge £760 !!

And to put that into a little perspective, you can almost have 2 x Nexus 6 32GB for that money.

 

[Gman]

64GB Edge £760 !!

Your better using the rain forest .de site.
Price is currently 949.00 euros so about £687

Fair point

even that is a rip of....

No flagship phone should be more than £500 max imo.

 

[Jabbs]

I can't pat 700 for a phone , note 4 only cost me 450 new. Will wait a bit I think nk now.

 

[Nexus18]

Yeah I am tempted by the note 4 and can see it dropping to £400 once the gs 6 is out.

Any idea if the note 4 will get an update to the touchwiz version on the GS 6 i.e. most of the bloat gone?

I doubt it tbh. All versions across phone so far have all been a bit different.

 

[Nexus18]

meh!
