Now next question. To root or not to root...
[Galaxy S6 General] lawtq:
Man, thats for a different thread you lucky biatches. Well done. I've heard nothing from smartphone company who are a part of Mobilephones direct, Any experience with these companies people?
[Galaxy S6 General] GR36:
Did DPD email you or cpw?

I have mine ordered to but nothing yet
[Galaxy S6 General] Jrhoop:
Nah no email from either CPW or DPD. :( That's why i rang but just got confirmation over the phone.

Pretty much guaranteed not to come tomorrow now or DPD would have confirmed the one hour slot by email/text.
[Galaxy S6 General] cashisback:
I want mine tomorrow! I go on holiday on the 10th for 2 weeks -.-' I've seriously thought about delaying my flight but I think that's a bit too much :silly::silly: I'm hoping DPD gets it tomorrow during the day and I can go and pick it up, I doubt it though.
[Galaxy S6 General] Hawke84:
For people getting it direct from samsung I talked to ukmail and tomorrow around 9am you should get a 1 hour estimated slot
[Galaxy S6 General] gtg465x:
Anyone receive or hear anything about shipping from Handtec or Clove?
[Galaxy S6 General] X-Ter:
CPW have already received S6s but aren't allowed to sell them until Friday :o
[Galaxy S6 General] iCalculate:
I wouldn't trust the 1 hour time slot from ukmail. Had a package from them, they gave me 6-7pm slot and it arrived at 3pm. Just a heads up
[Galaxy S6 General] superleeds27:
Still undecided what to do!

Might hold out for a bargain on eBay! Unless there's a decent deal on a sim free in the next day or two
[Galaxy S6 General] uktechguru:
You'll probably have to wait until July for a decent discount on the price. Can't see anyone selling for less than advertised. Three months was about time when the note 4 was reduced in price.
[Galaxy S6 General] ombadboy:
My resolve is still standing! Come on Amazon damnit! Let us know when you guys receive your devices. I am very interesting to see what batch the UK got too.
[Galaxy S6 General] ste1164:
Well I got my hour delivery slot at 4-5 today hopefully it arrives before then :D
[Galaxy S6 General] uktechguru:
O2 have the pre order up already and the 64gb Edge is priced at £849!!! They don't have the 128gb version yet. Says "coming soon"

The normal s6 version is as follows:

32gb at £649.99

64gb at £729.99

Samsung haven't got their pricing up yet.
[Galaxy S6 General] uktechguru:
The clear view cover for the s6 and s6 edge is priced at £49.99
[Galaxy S6 General] Protagoras:
They're on pre-order on EE too, but no 128GB version apparently...

And only with a 2 years contract.

http://shop.ee.co.uk/s6-family/pay-monthly/gallery
[Galaxy S6 General] le_lutin:
Holy smokes, these are high prices. I reckon people will rue the lack of SD card even more now that they see the difference in price between the storage options.
[Galaxy S6 General] uktechguru:
The 64gb edge is £760 on Samsung website. 32gb s6 £599. No other prices for other variants.
[Galaxy S6 General] Protagoras:
OK, so I checked on Amazon.de, the price for a 128GB S6 is 899 euros, that trnslates to roughly £647 with today's rate.

Compared to £730 in Carphone warehouse.

Why the difference????
[Galaxy S6 General] uktechguru:
Could be tax. Good thing is that euro imports won't incur any import tax or duty.
[Galaxy S6 General] ombadboy:
This has to be an early April's fools..
[Galaxy S6 General] gavinfabl:
I ordered from amazon.de as it seems the higher 128gb versions are absent in the UK or at extremely overpriced vs Germany . Actually it is the Euro being so weak that is why its cheaper over there.
[Galaxy S6 General] ombadboy:
Can you get an English version of Amazon DE? Also, it'll be a bit of a pain if there would be something wrong with the device sending it back to DE and vice versa.. Although I am considering it my self as well.. 100 pounds is quite a difference.
[Galaxy S6 General] uktechguru:
Get Google translate app on your phone and use chrome. It'll translate the page for you.

If there was anything wrong you could always contract Samsung UK. They won't know any different whether it was bought in UK or not. The model is the same and it's the unlocked international variant.
[Galaxy S6 General] Protagoras:
Agreed. I did order phones in the past from Amazon Germany, and they're exactly the same (apart from the charger adapter which is european, so that may be a problem this time as it's a fast charger, not very common yet)
[Galaxy S6 General] Protagoras:
OK, I just popped to the EE store at Canary Wharf in London to discuss pre-orders, and there was a Samsung rep who had both the Galaxy S6 and Edge in store for demo!

I could play with it for 10-15 minutes, and it really is gorgeous. It feels a bit like an S4 in the hand (which is good in my book) and the build really feels premium, on par with the iPhones. Nice clicky buttons, good finition, lightning fast camera, everything screams high-end phone on it. It was a black one, and It didn't strike me as being such a bad fingerprint magnet, it still looked gorgeous after my 15 minutes play, but maybe it was just the lights in the shop. The S6 Edge looks really good as well, more than the videos led me to believe.

Now the bad news: the guys told me they will sell the 128GB on pre-order on EE, but it won't be available BEFORE JUNE! WTF??? Can pre-order it now though, and the date might change in the next weeks.

Hopefully it'll be available sooner on Amazon, I'll wait for the various availability dates to be confirmed before I pre-order it. But I definitely want it now.
[Galaxy S6 General] ombadboy:
Agreed but I don't want to deal with Samsung UK as I will be rooting my S6 Edge and who knows their stance on tripping Knox.. Having talked to them about tripping Knox and warranty they didn't seem particularly keen fulfilling their warranty promises..

I know that Amazon in general have amazing customer support and if anything goes wrong with my device within 1 year then I contact Amazon directly rather than Samsung.

I'll probably bite the bullet and buy it from Amazon UK for 760 and live off Noodles for the next year. Need to find a good screen TPU protector now and am good to go.
[Galaxy S6 General] Cr4z33:
Consider into buying the Italian version of the S6 because Samsung Italy is promoting the free wireless charger for every pre-order made until the 9th of April.

This shop on eBay is very good and with very good prices:

http://stores.ebay.co.uk/POWERTEC-ELETRONICA/_i.html?_nkw=Samsung+S6&submit=Search&_sid=366406985
[Galaxy S6 General] Super Chimp:
Thanks for the heads up on that. That's quite some difference think I'll be checking that out.
[Galaxy S6 General] Bilhouse:
I just pre-ordered the Samsung Galaxy S6 64GB in Black from Amazon.de. The total came up to €811.43 which is roughly £587. Amazon are expecting it in stock on the release date of 10th April. I also confirmed on the German Samsung Store that they have the S6 64GB available to pre-order with the same release date, unlike the UK Samsung Store who only have the 32GB model currently.
[Galaxy S6 General] geovass:
I have pre-ordered my S6 Edge this morning from the Samsung Website;

Shipping on the 9th of April!
[Galaxy S6 General] Cr4z33:
That's what I call a serious service!

Samsung Italy will ship only on the 24th... :mad:
[Galaxy S6 General] marcochapita:
So a lot of people change opinions now and going to normal instead of the edge version? Because of the price I presume
[Galaxy S6 General] WhiteHartMart:
Good luck to all you 'Thursday arrivals' - waiting for (hopefully) my 3 upgrade order due tomorrow - as long as my wife doesn't drag me out for the day with the kids!

Brought to you by a CM12 Lollipopped OnePlus One :)
[Galaxy S6 General] LoverOfTech:
Mine has arrived via UK mail:D:p
[Galaxy S6 General] omersak:
Congratulations. What's the build date of your kernel version? Thanks.
[Galaxy S6 General] geovass:
Congrats!

I assume its the S6 not the S6 edge, right?
[Galaxy S6 General] LoverOfTech:
Yes normal S6 mate.

Other question? Have checked it yet or turned on. Matching it up to my Note 4 currently.

---------- Post added at 10:15 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:12 AM ----------

Oh and just like my Note 4 there is no Samsung Glalaxy S6 on the back of the phone. Unlike U.S..A
[Galaxy S6 General] iCalculate:
Got dispatch text from EE, will be receive my s6 tomorrow
[Galaxy S6 General] Kitch16:
Just got a dispatch notice from CPW, dispatching soon through DPD and I have tracking number. Should be delivery tomorrow. Black 32Gb contract upgrade on EE.
[Galaxy S6 General] Jrhoop:
Same here on o2 though.
[Galaxy S6 General] trancem:
Just rang the Samsung store in Bradford.

They said they aren't expecting the Gold S6 or S6 Edge until the 1st of May.

Sucks! Thinking whether or not I should just get the black or white now

Waiting long enough :(
[Galaxy S6 General] Phil750123:
anyone heard any news from cpw on the edge? still saying its coming in tomorrow for the black but the white and gold are 4-6 weeks now.
[Galaxy S6 General] rikz112:
I did originally get a text from EE 1st April saying my order for S6 EDGE IN GOLD would be here within 21 days however yesterday i got a text saying it will be with me within 7days assuming I DEFO will NOT get it tomorrow as expected however gota a family wedding tomorrow neways so next week will be fine
[Galaxy S6 General] adam17284:
I've still not had any notification from CPW that I will receive my phone tomorrow (e-mail/text with tracking number etc). About 2 hours ago i got my message through from O2 that had upgrade had gone through with my new contract. Just checked my O2 account online and it's gone through and my new tarriff/contract has started.

Gonna ring them now and see what they say. The previous times i have spoke to them they have promised me they will be delivered at my home address on release day...... why am i getting this feeling it ain't gonna happen :crying::eek::rolleyes:
[Galaxy S6 General] Jrhoop:
I had the same. Upgrade contact texts / emails from o2. But also got the tracking info from myorder@carphonewarehouse which included the details on tracking info.

Silly CPW though they added an extra space into the included link in the email so when you click it doesnt find the consignment. Just copy and paste and remove the space between = and the number.

:good:
[Galaxy S6 General] adam17284:
Woop woop!!!! Just rang them and they have informed me that my phone left their warehouse about 3 hours ago.

I will receive my text in the morning from the courier giving me my time slot.

I am unable to check my order as I didn't order online and was done via the sales call centre ringing me direct so have no confirmation e-mail etc. I only have the order number which they give me when I chased them on the phone (no tracking info until the morning) :D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:good::good::good::good::good::good::good:
[Galaxy S6 General] pnr2020:
had my text message of EE saying it will be delivered tomorrow by DPD i went for black s6 not the edge version
[Galaxy S6 General] Jrhoop:
Thats strange - i ordered on the phone too.

Anyway - all sounds good to me.

Roll on tomorrow! :cool:
[Galaxy S6 General] WhiteHartMart:
Well '3' tell me mine will be here tomorrow yet won't have consignment number until 9am+? Hmmmm, sounds fishy to me [emoji14]

Brought to you by a CM12 Lollipopped OnePlus One :)
[Galaxy S6 General] Phil750123:
so to me looks like the only phone coming out tomorrow is the black or white 32gb normal S6?

As no one else has had shipping confirmation about any other model/size.
[Galaxy S6 General] Hawke84:
Oh yeah loving this phone!
[Galaxy S6 General] Awais321:
Anyone receiving their edge anytimr soon?
[Galaxy S6 General] LoverOfTech:
Unbelievable,, decided to charge the S6 up full charge then proceeded to try to insert the SIM card. Have managed to achieve this with ease on iPhone's in the past, after about a minute I knew this was a problem. Just come back from CPW to make sure it wasn't me.

Yep faulty device. Lol. Never happened to me before. Thing comes on but can't put in a SIM card due to tray not coming out. CPW advisor said you'll need to return it to Samsung. Really?! So much for quality control.

Oh well. Might just return it and wait it out now. Samsung have ruined my day/evening.
[Galaxy S6 General] Phil750123:
dont we have the right to swop it for a brand new one means it broke within the first month. (if they have any in stock that is) or just return it and get a new contract out there and then if they refuse that!

on other note, some three customer have gotten texts they are getting the edge tomorrow even though it states the 21st april on their website.
[Galaxy S6 General] uktechguru:
S6 firmware is available on sammobile now for anyone who ended up having to buy branded phones and want it without network bloat
[Galaxy S6 General] gavinfabl:
That's total crap. Faulty device is nothing to do with Samsung. You bought from CPW. It's faulty. You're legally entitled to a refund or exchange for a brand new phone. Don't except anything less or any other crap comments.
[Galaxy S6 General] LoverOfTech:
No mate I purchased from Samsung online store, not CPW, hence why I received it today. I only went to CPW to clear my mind as I thought it could be me. Fair to say it wasn't. No doubt I'll return to Samsung likely tomorrow for a refund. Then consider my options.

Strange thing is I received it around 9:45 and didn't get to setting it up to after 6, then rush to clarify the situation.

No doubt I won't be taking no bs from anyone £599.99 is nothing to play with.
[Galaxy S6 General] iCalculate:
I'm assuming this uses odin, would it trip knox?
[Galaxy S6 General] uktechguru:
Yes, sorry, you flash using Odin. Instructions are in the firmware specific page on sammobile with download link for Odin. It won't trip Knox.

Here's the link:

http://www.sammobile.com/2015/04/09/firmwares-for-samsung-galaxy-s6-and-s6-edge-now-available/

Just a point, apparently s6/s6 edge doesn't work with Kies if you're moving from an older Samsung phone so use the Samsung Smart Switch Mobile app

http://www.samsungapps.com/appquery...ndroid.easyMover&cntyTxt=234&equipID=SM-N910F
[Galaxy S6 General] Stan3k:
The Samsung UK website is no longer showing the black 64GB S6 as "Pre-order for 24th dispatch"; it is now showing as "Buy now". White 64GB still says 24th.

Wonder if this is a mistake or whether I can actually buy a 64GB S6 now!
[Galaxy S6 General] uktechguru:
Only way to know is to buy it now! :p
[Galaxy S6 General] jadaress1:
Hi, my s6 edge in black is coming tomorrow from cpw, had the tracking info come through earlier.
[Galaxy S6 General] razor 116:
Got my tracking from CPW at 9PM there, Will have it tomorrow.
[Galaxy S6 General] LoverOfTech:
Anyone looking to grab a S6 Will likely be able to buy one. I've ordered another S6 earlier in the evening , states "preparing to ship" already, tomorrow I'll return the faulty one with currently with me to Samsung after I get a returns label.

I couldn't be bothered to put it on and test it without a sim. So I'll now have to wait until Monday, if only I had stopped paying ,Mr cool and tried it earlier I'd be having another S6 tomorrow.

Oh well I'll Habe to bide my time
[Galaxy S6 General] trancem:
Hmmmmm. It also shows the "Buy Now" for the 64GB in Gold

I've looked all over for the 32GB in Gold but I cannot find it. I might just buy the 64GB now!
[Galaxy S6 General] uktechguru:
Depend if you store a lot on your phone. I have the note 4 with a 64gb micro SD card and I'm already over the 32gb storage on the phone, thank goodness for moving apps to SD and movies, music etc.
[Galaxy S6 General] trancem:
I don't store that much to be honest. My S4 has a 32GB Micro SD card and I still have 15GB left

The thing is I really want the phone in Gold, and I want it like tomorrow! lol

I'll ring Samsung again in the morning just in case they miraculously happen to have a 32GB in Gold
[Galaxy S6 General] Stan3k:
Order placed :D
[Galaxy S6 General] ste1164:
Aww man I was really enjoying this phone and I noticed I have dust under the screen :(
[Galaxy S6 General] Barff1984:
I just bought one tonight....gold 64gb s6....going to see if it suits me for a week or two, then decide if I can live with it or take it back and get the gold 64gb edge. I wish they had the edge now tbh
[Galaxy S6 General] Bilhouse:
It seems the 64GB S6 is in stock at CPW now as well as the Samsung Store. I'm really tempted to cancel my Amazon.de preorders, but £660 (a £100 price difference) is something I can't stomach.
[Galaxy S6 General] trancem:
No way. any pics?
[Galaxy S6 General] ste1164:
Erm I can try but its going to be tricky getting a picture of it.
[Galaxy S6 General] WhiteHartMart:
My 3 S6 will be here in 45 mins - just in time for a day out with the family and lots of photo opportunities :)

Brought to you by a CM12 Lollipopped OnePlus One :)
[Galaxy S6 General] LoverOfTech:
Had a play with my faulty S6 that is going back. There is a software upadte that appeamtly improves fingerprint,stability etc. the battery on the defective unit was very good. Have factory resset and packed up to be retuned.

The phone is fast and responsive and has a much smoother UI, Note4 is a good phone too when doing my comparisons but S6 takes it due to being compact blazing fast. The screen is a killer.

Need to wait till Monday to get my other order. Tick tick.

---------- Post added at 10:16 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:08 AM ----------

Oh and 24.88gb of Storage on the 32GB
[Galaxy S6 General] Jrhoop:
Mine should be here in 45 mins or so too. Fingers crossed no dust or pink tint.

EDIT: Correction - arrived now :D
[Galaxy S6 General] Outcasst:
Mine is here and charging. I'm almost afraid to turn it on.
[Galaxy S6 General] Barff1984:
the days where you need to fully charge your phone when you first get it are gone...you can start playing now, or play whilst charging.
[Galaxy S6 General] qwertyuiop89:
Just ordered a 64GB in black from Samsung online - does anyone know how long the status sits on "Order Processed" before dispatching?

Anyone picked up a 64GB from a UK store?
[Galaxy S6 General] ste1164:
Might be a little while for you as when I checked the 64GB black were out of stock for the normal S6 :o
[Galaxy S6 General] Barff1984:
purchased from there yesterday...still saying 'order processed'
[Galaxy S6 General] Hawke84:
Anyone got a pink tint to parts the screen on theirs?
[Galaxy S6 General] Stan3k:
I too purchased a black S6 64GB from Samsung UK last night when it was showing as available now, and it is also sat at "order processed"
[Galaxy S6 General] ste1164:
The one Im returning did, by the sounds of it this initial batch seems quite dud. You could return it and wait for a replacement/newer models later on.
[Galaxy S6 General] Jrhoop:
No pink tint for me or dust under screen. Will take a decent look in a bit.

Mine wants to do an update already so set that going. Meantime rang o2 to get number swapped across to new nano sim card.

Here's a few pics to wet others appetites while they wait for delivery - (taken using sgs4)

:good:
[Galaxy S6 General] ste1164:
Is yours and unbranded device? Good to hear you have no issues. Mine didn't have any updates yesterday
[Galaxy S6 General] Jrhoop:
Yes unbranded.
[Galaxy S6 General] LoverOfTech:
This was the update that was on my defective S6
[Galaxy S6 General] Jrhoop:
Yep, thats the one that mine did.
[Galaxy S6 General] kazgor:
Damn... Did a pre-order with CPW last weekend, but Barclays sent a transaction alert notice text, i replied YES to confirm it was me.

I got the order number from CPW.. however today.. still no email to say it being processed for delivery etc.

Checking Barclays.. I couldn't see the transaction.. i got to wonder..

So just called CPW, and they confirmed the Card was denied and wasn't reprocessed :( so my order never went through. shame CPW didnt send a email to say this.. so now got to wait until Monday for my delivery.
[Galaxy S6 General] iCalculate:
Just got mine from EE surprisingly no update was required. Seems like the UK models don't have the galaxy s6 branding on the back like american models
[Galaxy S6 General] GR36:
well that's good news, as it looks stupid.
[Galaxy S6 General] vanders7:
Is anyone charging their phone to 100% before playing around with it?

Just got mine from CPW, turned it on and it's at 51%

Previous new Galaxy devices I've owned I've never bothered charging to 100% before using, as I've always thought if I mess the cells up I'll just buy another battery.

Obviously I can't do that with this device.
[Galaxy S6 General] WhiteHartMart:
Mine was at 51% also - just used it straight off as I always do. On its first full charge now.

No update here on a 3 device. Going to flash unbranded BTU firmware via Odin probably in a few days.
[Galaxy S6 General] gtg465x:
Disappointed in Handtec. They didn't ship the white S6 32GB I pre-ordered on March 23 today, so I canceled. Ordered from a small shop in the US selling the SM-G920i unlocked model and it has already shipped and will be here Monday.
[Galaxy S6 General] Phil750123:
just had some fun with cpw.

Checked and they currently have about 800 black edge 64gb in the warehouse but 0 in store.

So ordered online and paid £7.50 to get it delivered tomorrow, then about an hour after order got a text from my bank saying fraud translation and email from cpw saying i declined the credit check (even though i know i have a great credit score)

so rang up, guy apologized gave me £25 credit on my account, knocked off £10 off the handset price and gave me 2 Sims with £10 credit on.

Should be coming tomorrow :)
[Galaxy S6 General] WazzaF:
Well I ordered the gold s6 edge from Samsung UK online store on the first date of pre-orders and when I first put the order through it said delivery date of April 10th. Then because I entered in the wrong card details I had to re-do the order and it was only 5 minutes from when I did the original order and now the delivery date had changed from the 10th of April to the 24th. Since then it's been saying "ordered processed" until today where it has now changed to "preparing to dispatch". I have also noticed that you can buy the gold s6 edge 64gb from Samsungs website and it says "In stock" unlike the black and white one which states "dispatch 24th of April" I've also noticed that Three online site states the 17th of April for delivery date of the gold s6 edge and the 21st of April for the other colours. The point I'm getting to is that Samsung have manaufacted a **** load of Gold S6 Edges 64GB in the past week or so as it proven very popular and now seem to have more of the gold models than of the White and Black.

P.S I'm really bored.
[Galaxy S6 General] Awais321:
I hope you're right because I just cancelled my black edge order on samsung UK site from 1st April that was supposed to get to me on the 24th-ish to order the gold edge. It did say buy now when I ordered the gold one ten minutes ago but since then it's out of stock again?

Now I have a refund to be processed for the black one and a gold edge on order for which I have no estimated delivery date haha.. My heart was set on the gold one though so I can't complain
[Galaxy S6 General] Barff1984:
I'm getting the same message...out of stock. I decided to buy the gold s6 64gb last night becasue the edge wasn't due till the end of april...thought I'd play with the s6...see if it's nice...if not, return it and get the edge....would've preferred to do it the other way around as I fear the edge might be slightly gimmicky...but meh, we'll see.
[Galaxy S6 General] Awais321:
I know the edge is kinda pointless but I just think it's cool and if I'm paying over 600 quid what's another 100 right?

The gold edge said buy now when I checked at eight. I ordered and then literally went back on the page straight after and it said out of stock. I don't see how that works.. Seems like samsung is opening up gaps for extra orders to keep people's hopes up that the edge will be out soon
[Galaxy S6 General] Barff1984:
Or people cancelled and they opened it up again for a few minutes/hours.

The main concern for me is that I think the s6 will have a better screen for gear vr when it's released next month.
