Got the Note 5 today (ordered Monday night). The device is in good condition, but based on the data usage history and a call made in August, it's been used before. These are test units so it makes sense to reuse them. As long as they don't come damaged to the point where I would be charged for something I didn't do, I'm fine with it.

First impressions:
Like the S6..
-it feels good in the hand until it gets warm.
-it looks good until you touch it for a few minutes and get your greasy prints all over the glass back.
-the display is excellent, crisp, vibrant.

The S-Pen doesn't seem to be the easiest to write with. I keep accidentally pressing the button at the bottom. Maybe I just need to use it more.

The one time FedEx tries delivering something in the middle of the day instead of at the end of the day is when the package requires a signature...

I actually just went on the website and got it to work. I didn't use the 24 hour link though.

I wanted to try T-Mobile to see how it is in my area so I just chose T-Mobile and then chose each phone and if it said waitlist I clicked the next one. Eventually got the s6 edge.
Maybe T-Mobile and the combination of Galaxy S6 edge are not popular?

Cause I was more interested in the egde plus on Verizon

I don't doubt that. I wanted the note or edge+ but I didn't feel like waiting. I'm mostly interested in checking out T-Mobile and the camera. T-Mobile claims they are the best provider in my area (rural part of Missouri) and att and Verizon are just so-so.

Been using the s6 Edge for a couple days now.

Im liking Android so far, and generally like the phone..but this particular phone won't be on my list to consider (I mainly signed up for this to try out android, not necessarily this phone) . Battery life is not that great. Im down to 36% with moderate/light usage. Im still carrying my iPhone with me so Im listening to music on that while at work, and at this point im sure it would be dead if I was using the s6 for music.
