Yeah hopefully. I'd love to get it by my Wednesday b/c I'm off that day lol. Would suck having to work the GS6/Edge launch at my store, while my GS6 Edge is at home waiting on me lol.
 
How does android work with imessage? Let's say that i write a few messages from the s6 and later want to continue the conversation from my mac, does the conversation that were on the s6 copy as sms messages to imessage?

No. If your using an android handset. You need to 1. - switch off iMessage otherwise you will no longer receive messages from other iMessage users on your Android handset.

2. There is no continuity mode between iMessage and Samsung's messaging app.

The two are not compatible with each other.
 
Can somebody with a gs6 tell me how smooth the cell runs with the stage 1 power saving mode on? For the first time on my gs5 with lollipop I can honestly say I can get away with using it but there is some slowdowns and studdering.

I also have the OEM 3500 mah battery and I think the battery life is going to be my biggest concern.

Right now I have 3.5 hours of on screen time and at 50% battery life and I never used Wi-Fi.

Hopefully they can get the battery a little better with firmware updates and I know it won't cone close to a gs5 on a 3500 mah battery but just wondering if I just use the phone in power saving mode to make up for it.

Samsung seems to be up to the usual launch stunts when it comes to employing people. This time not on forums but at China launch event.

500 of those attending were paid by Samsung to be there.

Those paid were then required to post on China's social media platform We Chat.

This isn't new or Samsung only. I was once one of 40 social media ambassador for Microsoft and had to post on all social media channels prior to Office 2011 - our rewards were copies of Office and other freebies.

Samsung is denying this.

Personally, I don't care either way.

I am not bothered by it either. I think all big companies do this kind of thing to one extent or another. I mean Apple does it through their invite system to Apple events. They only invite tech bloggers that are very pro Apple to product releases. This ensures they will get very favorable reviews and press coverage. The bloggers and reviewers make big money from page views and advertising dollars from their sites. But if you post a negative review then you do not get invited back to any future Apple product releases. This can cost them a lot of money in lost revenue and lost website traffic.
 
I found this to be pretty cool. Most of those things everyone here probably knows about, but there were a few that I didn't, including the SOS thing for emergencies, or the hardware reset trick. Download booster is pretty rad too. And I'm curious how well Smart Stay works, too.

Thank for posting that!
Great very in-depth review. Some standout points for me were:
1) TW and the UI is very fast!
2) Fingerprint scanner is a huge improvement over previous versions.
3) Battery life is good not great but it will fit my use needs.

Exactly. They are all at this game of fake image.

This does not make it any less lame by Samsung. But it is as much as sad commentary on how pathetic the entire "tech news & reviews" universe is at this point. Worst I have ever seen in my lifetime.

Decision made. The Note 4 is getting returned to AT&T and I am using my Next upgrade to get a 32gb white S6...maybe 64gb.

Case ordered from Spigen. Should be here either Friday or Saturday.

I never knew white colour has been patented by Apple. If I wear a white shirt, that means I am now copying Apple's legendary colour.

Wouldn't surprise me if they'd try lol, didn't they try to patent round edges ...

Such a nice material, a shame to throw it into a plastic case.
