Seems like the Edge is available for £650 on Payg on EE (instore).

What screen mode is everyone choosing?

I find all a little over saturated apart from 'Basic'.

AMOLED photo is also not bad, but still just looks a bit too much.

So choose basic. It's the mode if you want accurate colours.

I did.. and I know..

I was merely inquiring on people's preferences.

EE instore (Canary Wharf), £649.99 was for the Edge and that only comes in 64GB or 128GB so presume that is 64GB. But there was £10 top-up required.

Does anyone know how much the standard S6 64GB is in store with EE prepay?

They don't have any, expected 2-3 weeks, all they have are Galaxy S6 32GB and Galaxy S6 Edge 64GB.

Might even be a month or longer knowing Samsung.

Had a look at them both at lunch, the Edge seems too much of a novelty to me and didn't seem that comfortable to hold around the edges as others have stated. Impressed by the camera, but less impressed by touchwiz. Much prefer stock, I haven't had the need to root or put a custom ROM on my Z3c, but I think I'd have to with the S6.

So i took it home stuck the new sim in last night, Still reads "emergency calls only" sigh, can't try and do a manual activation as the sim card only has 12 of the 14 digits required to active the sim online.

Looks like ill be wasting my lunch time again on the phone to them.

Emergency calls only is because your sim hasnt been swapped.
You dont need 14 digits. I used O2 sim swap, there were only 13 digits on my new sim and it worked perfectly. My sim was swapped in less than 2 minutes

Maybe limited stock for pre-orders, all stores I've been to including Samsung only have the Galaxy S6 32GB and Edge 64GB, they all say the same thing, 2-3 weeks for the rest.

Are there alternative sources for themes?
The store has about 6 majority looking pretty childish tbh

AMOLED photo. Basic looks too stale for my liking.

The 32GB is £499, so presume the 64Gb would be about £50 more.

Managed to get a brand spanking new edge 64gb in black for 699 contract free. Have to say much prefer it over the standard one so much so sending mine back to Samsung, it's all been arranged.

Here's a few I can think of right now

Trigger
SwiftKey
Nova Launcher
Drupe
Waze
VLC
Chromecast (if you have one)

It's already in its box waiting to be shipped back to Samsung.

Nice design, great hardware but the OS is just not as rounded as iOS. There are a few nice features that i'd love to see on iPhone, sadly, this S6 TouchWizz just can't cut it. I just think iOS is a more rounded, solid, stable work horse.

As I was using it and charging it, the battery meter didn't increase (stayed at 21%), with iPhone it will still charge, allow usage and actually charge the battery.
