I am glad you posted this - I had completely forgotten to check for cashback! Topcashback are offering £97.65 on EE contracts over £45.99, which I think has settled this for me.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] Outcasst:
Does anybody know when they will have the devices in-store? I'd really like to try the difference in person between the S6 and S6 Edge before committing to anything.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] obsydian:
Just ordered the Samsung S6 Edge 128GB in Gold for £119 from Vodafone on a £43.50 tarrif 3G, but with £110 Quidco, meaning the phone will cost £9.

Plus with 20% employee discount it works out ~£35.

Says on back order delivery is 5-7 weeks.

Enough time to shift my S5.

If you are in London the Experience stores already have them - assume all other with get them on the 10th April
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] xavier2k3:
Been talking to Carphone on their live chat feature and have managed to get the following quotes on an upgrade through EE for the SGS6E. All deals include the free Samsung wireless charging dock and offer 4G Xtra. EE aren't offering a free wireless dock, rather a subsidised version.

32GB

Based on what you have told me, we have a fantastic package for you. This includes unlimited Minutes which covers your current usage. You will receive unlimited Texts and 4GB data, as you use a lot. This is on a 24 month contract with an upfront cost of £99 and a monthly of £38.49 on EE.

64GB

Based on what you have told me, we have a fantastic package for you. This includes unlimited Minutes which covers your current usage. You will receive unlimited Texts and 4GB data, as you use a lot. This is on a 24 month contract with an upfront cost of £199.99 and a monthly of £33.49 on EE.

128GB

Based on what you have told me, we have a fantastic package for you. This includes unlimited Minutes which covers your current usage. You will receive unlimited Texts and 4GB data, as you use a lot. This is on a 24 month contract with an upfront cost of £189.99 and a monthly of £38.49 on EE.

I then asked the livechat host if there was anyway to bring the price of the upfront cost of the handset down through trading in old handsets or whatever to which she said:

This was in reference to the 64GB version, not the 128 as she couldn't apply the same discount there.

They're all pretty good mark downs though off the "standard" upgrade prices offered by the CPW.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] Outcasst:
I think people are getting confused. As far as I know, there is no 32GB Edge. Those prices above are for the standard S6.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] thyttel:
There is 32gb, 64gb, and 128gb Edge here in Denmark so if there isn't then that's only the UK
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] Outcasst:
Wow. I stand corrected... I wonder why there's no trace of the Edge 32GB in the UK...
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] crumble6:
After reading about this I decided the deal was too good not to try for, but my luck on live chat wasn't as good as yours. On the £33.49pm tariff, the website lists the upfront cost as £329.99. When I told them I had heard about this deal "my friend" had been offered, the response was as follows:

He told me the only deal he could offer me would be the same as on the website. £330 upfront is a joke, so it looks like I'll have to keep hunting! I'm looking to spend £40pm and £100 upfront tops if at all possible.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] xavier2k3:
CPW are definitely offering the edge at the 32gb option. Just check their site.

Do remember though that I am upgrading though rather than a brand new pay monthly deal. The live chat rep Said that it was a promotional offer And that I can ask for her directly to get this deal as she will get the sale for it That way.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] isangelous:
I can't see the 32GB option. I don't think Samsung are making this model available in the UK for the launch.

It is possible some shops have a small stock or are planning to import it.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] pacho_bs:
Have a look HERE and HERE. You may find something good enough for you.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] IakobosJ:
I hate waiting too :P Mine is due for delivery at 11.30 this morning, so I'll let you know what it's like :)
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] killyouridols:
I Never even got a text :( Still holding out hope. I have NO idea why though.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] IakobosJ:
Who did you order through? Tt looks like all of the main networks are shipping with DPD. DPD will text you when it is out for delivery.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] killyouridols:
Direct From 3. Most got a text last night saying out for delivery, however I Didn't,The Bastards. Website say they will text THE DAY of delivery so hope is there, however small. But I doubt it.

Hey Ho :D
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] FlashXIII:
I never received a text message from DPD but mine is still out for delivery and have my one hour slot which I pulled up from my tracking number. Gave my phone number when I placed my order too so dunno why I never got a text but no biggie.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] killyouridols:
Never got a tracking number. Nothing. Hoping an oversight
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] jah:
Just got mine from CPW no scratches all good.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] FlashXIII:
I got a tracking number from Carphone via email. No contact from DPD at all. Not sure if 3 send emails or not I'm afraid... fingers crossed for you though.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] azibux1:
That's good news! :D Anyone else also received scratch-free ones today in the UK??
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] madpete:
Thanks for posting, I'll check mine as soon as it arrives and post the results. Fingers crossed.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] isangelous:
I picked up mine this morning. I only had time for a quick play because I am at work, but there are no scratches. :)

Just a heads up for anyone thinking of getting a case too that the Ringke Fusion is now only £5 (It was £6 a few days ago when I ordered):

http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00TJ790L0
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] azibux1:
Nice!! :D
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] jaythenut:
Ordered mine through ee yesterday as a early upgrade got to wait 7 days boo:rolleyes:
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] smokemeakipper:
Phone very nice indeed. No scratches.

Turn it on and said "wow" out loud. :)

Checked phone screen with my old (gs2) phone flash. No problems.

Can I ask a stupid question. Just moving my old number (giffgaff) to Vodafone. I have my pac code. its asking for my sim number, is that on my old giffgaff sim?

Thanks
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] FlashXIII:
Received mine and no scratches. First impressions can be summed up in a single word; W-O-W
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] azibux1:
Good stuff!

Fairly sure it will be your SIM serial number of your vodafone SIM... Not 100% sure though

Let me know please as I will need to do the same process later with O2 and going to Vodafone
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] smokemeakipper:
Will do.

Tried both numbers on sim. doesn't recognize either.

See if voda chat can help
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] azibux1:
OK

Hmm very odd, I expected it would definitely be one of the two
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] uktivo:
Don't suppose anyone has input where to get a sim free white 64gb edge in the uk? Amazon.de let me down and pushed out its delivery to an undetermined date. Cpw and samsung experience store are contract only, clove and expansys are at pre order status still.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] azibux1:
Look at Handtec maybe
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] dragon_soft:
Received mine from Vodafone, No scratches, inspected with my Note 4 LED and also in the sun. Not received my free charger or case yet! Anybody else get their free charger and case?
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] smokemeakipper:
No free stuff yet.

Sorted moving number. Its your new sim card number(not your mobile number). Its the two five digit numbers below 00030. Moving number wont be ready until Monday! Ill have to carry 2 phones with me:D

Enjoy your new toy people.

Regards.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] azibux1:
Think someone online said they are being delivered separately
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] techenthusiast:
As a big f*ck you, Vodafone sent me the free accessory pack today, with no notification. But no phone!
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] madpete:
So glad to read all these reports of scratch free phones arriving in the UK, I dont tend to be the luckiest person around with this sort of thing so I'm still keeping my fingers crossed.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] crumble6:
Has anyone else here ordered from DirectMobiles.co.uk? Ordered on 25th March but so far I've not had an email since and they are yet to take the upfront payment from my card. I'll give them a call later when I've got the time, but I guess I won't be getting my phone today. :(
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] azibux1:
Arrived!!

Voda, 64GB Edge in Black

Seems scratch free to me (checked it with an LED torch and the sun)

:D

---------- Post added at 03:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:41 PM ----------

Thanks for the info, I'll try filling in that form now
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] ShiroEd:
Nice one!

Can I ask when you ordered yours? No sign of mine today from Voda...
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] crumble6:
So I've just got round to calling them and apparently Samsung only sent them stocks of the regular S6 today, they are unsure when they will be getting the edge. Awh :crying: Knew I should have ordered from one of the big retailers!
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] azibux1:
22nd March from vodafone website :) I was told I was one of the first to get a pre-order in

When did you order? Are you a new customer to Vodafone?

Also, despite the phone being in my hand, the order tracking on vodafone website still says "stage 2 your order is accepted", so don't go by what that says.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] IakobosJ:
Scratch free here too :) have to agree with the others too.... Wow!!! Loving this thing already.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] sorehm:
I had mine delivered to my flat today (Though, I'm at work and made my mother wait for it :( so wont see it till the evening).

Does anyone know if vodafone deliver the promised charger with it or does it come as a separate package?
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] azibux1:
Just called them. They have a lot of people (including myself) saying we haven't received the accessory pack... It will come within 7 days
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] rahularora1:
i just walked into an ee store in westfield and picked up a 64gb black edge - no preo order just an upgrade and new line
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] obsydian:
Preordered with Vodafone 2 weeks ago at 5am got a confirmation and a while later and email saying delayed !!!

What's the point of having no handsets to sell ship on the launch day.

Then saw the Samsung CEO saying problems and delays for a while due to low yields
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] ShiroEd:
Upgrade on the 2nd with still no correspondence from

Vodafone or DPD.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] Phil750123:
I phoned round a few shops today and no one had edge in. Went into cpw and the girl checked and said they had 800 of black 64gb edge in the warehouse. I ordered online at about 6pm and it's coming tomorrow ☺
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] xavier2k3:
So I preorderd 2 weeks ago at cpw to collect in store and went in the afternoon to collect but apparently the DPD delivery had been delayed but would definitely arrive. Went back before closing and was told it would be Monday. They had people come in for the s6 but not the edge as they had none. Should have just gone with EE.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] uscool:
Hi was that on contract?, I see they have stock on site but no sim free option, im also in Birmingham ;) thanks
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] Phil750123:
Mine was on contract so not sure about sim free, might be worth ringing them tomorrow and asking though as they seem to be the only place who have any! I tried sending ee o2 and three shops around Solihull and Erdington and got nothing.

---------- Post added at 11:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:27 PM ----------

The shop I went in did mention their delivery was late but they obviously had the stock. But when I did online order I had to pay extra for delivery tomorrow but could only be to my home, let's hope it comes, the guy online and girl in shop both said they have them so let's hope!
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] jaythenut:
Man that sucks :crying:
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] jah:
For those with good or bad screens use Phone Info app for Samsung to find out location and date of manufacture
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] techenthusiast:
Did you get any DPD notification or text? I've had the accessories arrive. But no phone.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] Phil750123:
got the edge from cpw delivered today after ordering last night at about 6pm, great service.

no scratches or pink screen :)

made in vietnam on 5th april, good screen
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] uscool:
really jealous, they not doing any sim free edge :( , i think will wait it out abit, still not sure what color to go for, till i see them in person, maybe green, gold ? :)
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] jah:
No green until later in June. Black better in real life.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] jaythenut:
Coming from ee on Monday whoop whoop:D
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] jah:
Are you sure about 5 April as my SE6 manufactured 5 March 2015
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] Phil750123:
ha yer sorry your right, thought that was quick turn around! it was 5/03/15!
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] IakobosJ:
7th march, made in Vietnam, perfect screen :)
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] jah:
Looks like the US complaints about heavily scratched screens are for batches manufactured a couple of weeks after 5 & 7 March
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] rahularora1:
guys i just had a call from ee bayswater who have got my pre order in (pre ordered gold 64gb yesterday) anyone else recieved a gold 64gb edge from ee?
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] smokemeakipper:
Just installed a update for my gs6 edge Vodafone. No problems as yet.

Regards
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] JonM1988:
I have a 64gb in white that was made in Vietnam on the 11th of march and mines is fine. No scratches at all :)

I got it directly from o2
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] mnbrennan:
No scratches on mine. It's just charging so will figure out the details later
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] killyouridols:
Spoke to 3. No chance of anyone (apparently) getting a 64gb white edge before 21st April. As predicted, only black available. Gold the same unless in store
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] Slinky Wizard:
No scratches on mine, however...

Was copying files onto my phone from the laptop earlier, and it was downloading updates. Heard a popping sound and my screen has cracked in a kind of sunburst pattern from the right-hand edge of the speaker, mostly into the top right corner, but one long crack loops down from the centre-point and up into the top left corner. At the same time, the phone was really hot to handle. Taken it into the Vodafone store, and they have agreed that it hasn't been dropped or had any normal signs of damage - so are as equally confused as me, and have authorised replacement under warranty.

Annoyingly though, I now have to wait until Monday before calling back to get the replacement sent out as they have none in stock now, but have confirmed that they will have a delivery in early on Monday.

To say I'm annoyed is an understatement, especially as the phone came back from work in the box and won't be going out with me until the case arrives...
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] Gadget_Grover:
Hi

Can anyone tell me if the handsets directly from O2 and Vodafone are locked? I am looking to buy it outright from Gumtree or Ebay but don't want to be dealing with the hassle of trying to get them unlocked as it is a new handset.

Thanks for your help in advance
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] lawtq:
My O2 ones ass was so locked! Annoying
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] Gadget_Grover:
Ahh that sucks, have to rule out the o2 one I had seen online. Any idea what then turn around time for unlock code from o2 is?
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] crumble6:
I'd be worried about buying one off eBay or gumtree at the minute with the scratching issue, you'd likely have trouble trying to return it. Unless you trust the seller to check it for you first, but I certainly wouldn't!
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] JonM1988:
I will submit an unlock request now and let you know ☺
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] razvanrudy:
Galaxy S6 edge 64GB black from EE

Made 08/03/2015 in Vietnam

No scratches , dead pixels , "lcd bumps" or any other issue. 100% perfect
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] jah:
Three now selling S6E on PAYG for £759 for the 64gb option
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] lawtq:
If you've got good credit it's still cheaper on an O2 refresh deal
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] gavinfabl:
Thanks Jah. Noticed they have a page for the 128gb S6E on PAYG for £829. Showing as out of stock. At that price I will cancel my Amazon.de pre order. The Euro keeps recovering so the saving is not as great anymore.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] Gadget_Grover:
You're right but I guess I'll just have to do the checks prior to purchasing. Its worth the around £200 saving as I've seen some on Gumtree and ebay go for as low as £550 for the 64GB Edge models. Just sold my Note 4 today so phoneless and even more desperate now. Have increased my budget to £575 - £600 now. The search continues!

Also, glad to hear about units turning up without scratches.

---------- Post added at 03:16 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:13 AM ----------

Would you mind pointing me to the deal mentioned above? How much do you end up paying all together for the handset? Thanks

[Galaxy S6 Edge General] sorehm:
Mine received on Friday - I'm happy with it. In hindsight I would have gone for the regular s6, now that I have it for a while. I find that when needed to access info that's on the edge, its a little painful. I also doubt I'll ever use any of the edge features. It does look nice though!
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] Pulverizer:
Congratulation! Envy you.

Also I have one small request for you.

Did you see this "REGION LOCK" sealed on your S6's Retail box?

Just wonder it.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] jah:
Not on my box. But it obvious that a new security seal was placed over an existing one and perhaps that was the region lock notification.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] ste1164:
Region lock is on the boxes.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] stompy09:
Well I have still heard nothing from EE for my black 64GB edge apart from my confirmation email on 2nd April and a text on 8th April saying 21 days. My up-front fee has still not been taken from my bank, CS said last week my order is still open. I really don't know if or when I will receive this phone.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] Pulverizer:
Already GS6 or GS6 Edge received any happy buyers, Who can upload Region lock seal or decal on the box?

I hope to see it :)
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] ice_coffee:
Three are now selling these on PAYG and AFAIK their phones are sim unlocked, but check with them.

I'm very irritated with Samsung right now as i have ordered a 128 GB edge in gold, and it seems some of the hold up is that Harrods have an exclusive on selling that phone in the country right now.

They are doing a special edition 128 gold for £1200
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] jaythenut:
Ordered mine from ee on Thursday and is coming today
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] stompy09:
For the Black 64GB? If so I will be calling EE Customer Services today and seeing what is going on!
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] jaythenut:
Yes mate black 64gb
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] stompy09:
The EE CS are useless. I have asked where my order is and explained that people have ordered after I have and received their devices, all they could say was that they have 'millions of orders to get through and it will be delivered no later than 30 days!

Not happy with this and I have escalated it and will be receiving a call back within an hour(!)
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] ShiroEd:
Welcome to my world. Only substitute Vodafone for EE.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] stompy09:
He called back dead on 2 which I was suprised by. All he could say was that the Edge is totally out of stock with EE (which I don't believe) and that he has put me on an 'urgent' order which means I will be the first person to get one when it is back in stock (which I don't believe either) and it will be at least 7 to 8 working days before EE get the back in stock.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] droid_1989:
Saw the S6 Edge in store at the weekend, really tempted, o2's prices are ridiculous compared to the rest, really tempted to go with someone else.

I'm due an upgrade in July, but will almost certainly pay the excess for early upgrade. Just want to see what the LG G4 comes in at before I decide, in terms of android phones, i've only ever had Samsung, and I like the development here for Samsung phones. Usually I wouldn't consider anything but Samsung, but without the MicroSD support and removable battery, i'm considering LG.

What's everyone's thoughts with the phone so far?
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] xavier2k3:
So absolute nightmare with CPW. Called through for an update on the situation with the 64GB Gold Edge and was told that there was a problem with my order that was preventing it from being moved on to the next stage and being arrange to be dispatched. I can't remember what stage he called it but they had to wait for a form to be filled out which would go through in the next 72 hours. Then the next thing is that the Gold isn't available till 1st May and I'm obviously not prepared to wait that long. So I'm cancelling my pre-order. I need to go into the store to get the upfront money refunded back...what a pa-lava.

Gone with EE directly and ordered a white one with wireless charger as I'm not willing to wait for the Gold. Will see how I get on and if I want to get rid/swap then I will. Apparently will be with me within the next 7 days, the gold was going to be 21 days. Hopefully have better luck this time!
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] Bebida:
Ordered mine on Thursday afternoon with ee although through retentions rather than upgrades and just received it. Wandering if stock is allocated differently to each department??
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] skanj:
I ordered my gold 64gb on the 20th March with ee ,still no update even though I got a text last Tuesday saying I'll have it within 7 days.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] punkthemonk:
128GB Black S6 Edge ordered through Vodafone on Friday (late in the evening).

They messaged and confirmed the delivery for tomorrow.

Fingers crossed that actually happens. ;)
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] gfreek:
I'm in the same boat as you, really annoyed with EE I pre-order 64gb S6 Edge Black through upgrade team on 30th March, I followed up last Friday just check the status whether I would be getting it launch day or not? Only to find out that was not the case and to make matters worse they told me my phone is on its way, will be with me on Monday 13th but it was the standard S6 not the Edge thats when I flipped!!

How can they get the order so messed up when got I email and text confirmation that I was getting S6 Edge? After 1 hour being on the phone with them got the order corrected.

And I'm still waiting!! What's worse is that EE stores have them in stock

EE are absolute joke and there CS team are incompetent!!!!
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] hazeyjames:
Lucky you! I pre-ordered the same phone on the 20th of March. Was told on live chat earlier today that they are getting more stock in 2-3 days and mine should come out of that batch. Don't really believe them after being told numerous times that it would arrive on the 10th.

Could you let us know if you do get it tomorrow? At least that'll mean there are some 128gb version getting into the UK.
