exactly what i do with any item i own. Always keep original boxes etc so i can re-sell
I most likely get like that after I owned it a few months and the brand new toy feeling has wore off..
(or it a case of when I get over the I just forked out over £500 for this thing feeling..

The only time I've ever smashed a screen was with a case.
I have no intention of selling it. I just gave away my note 4. And as far as I can tell there's £50 difference between a note 4 that's had a case and a scruffy one that's not had one.

Good choice...when you get to go for it
I think this is the closest thing we have ever had to the "perfect phone"it truly is a fantastic piece of tech! Good to see another happy flat s7 user too
Indeed...more than happy with the flat...it feels so much better in the pocket and hand than the edge ever did for me.
The improvements this year really have given me all I need for the "perfect phone"

Little tip for Gear VR users who might have TV image freezing issues when using Chromecast to.cast and monitor the headset when others are wearing it.
Developer Options/Simulate additional display/720x480mdpi. A tiny sub screen appears on the phone.
Works flawlessly!

What are the pros and cons of the edge version then?
Slightly bigger screen and bigger battery, edge functions if you want to use them. The main one you can have a average looking phone in the S7 or a superior looking one in the edge.
How exactly?
The longer battery life would be a clincher for me. The edge functionality is probably gimmicky, but battery life isn't.

I don't have any of the edge features turned on any more and am enjoying the screen design and battery.

Interesting Q&A with Samsung engineers about the camera:

I'm having to charge mine about twice a day. This vr headset is sucking up all the battery lol.

If you had wifi on and a semi-decent signal I would say that was pretty poor personally. I'd guess my 6P would beat that with similar usage.
2 days is "pretty poor"? Personally I don't think so. it also included some photo taking and VR use
As for the 6P, the battery is 3450 mAh vs the S7's 3000mAh, so ~17% bigger.
After having Nexus phones (Galaxy Nexus, Nexus 4 and Nexus 5) for 4+ years and then an iphone 6 for the last 5 months I think it is pretty good.
I don't think touchwiz is that bad now. I did have the first Galaxy S way back for over a year.

I'm not sure it would. I have a 6P and my S7 is consistently beating it in daily use.
