Agreed. The delayed 'Thank You' from the presenters is embarrassing, like they are waiting for the audience to react, and the audience being forced to react.

There isn't a lot original left out there. They can call things by different names but they still aren't original. Apple Pay wasn't an original idea either. Mobile payments existed before then.
Excited about the new camera!

The edge is tempting me just because it is different. But i hope it isnt form over function.
The gold does look pretty nice. I would like to see that in person. Usually not big into gold but the subdued look is enticing on this phone.

So now there's no MicroSD slot, non-removable battery and the headphone port has moved the the same lower left spot. All things they made fun of or made commercials about before. What are they going to make fun of now? 🙄

Thanks. I wish companies would release relatively soon after announcements.
I like the see through case they guy had on the 6 Edge.

Fastest on the market. I like the color notification on the edge screen. It can be set to a different color for different contacts. I wonder about false touches on the edge though.
I must say... I will probably be selling my iPhone 6 to get the S6. I'm a big camera user and the S6 camera really puts the iPhone 6's camera to shame. The phone also looks really beautiful. I'm glad they went with Corning Gorilla Glass for the back instead of some in-house made glass.

A Lot of hate in the room lol, ive always had samsung phones, but since they make it harder for developers like myself i wont be buying another however.
Whilst everyone is focusing on Rip off, lets see whats an advancement
Personally i will not be buying as the screen is too small for me but least they went out and done something a little different

Its touch not swipe
Whilst everyone is focusing on Rip off, lets see whats an advancement
New processor far in advance of the competition specs wise (benchmark dependant)
Camera specs which leave all others in its wake (if the demos hold validity!)
DDR4 memory, faster than DDR3 providing greater bandwidth
Starts at 32gb which is a much needed change to baseline spec
Flash memory based on that used in ssd thus ultra fast file performance
A Pay system which works on all termninals. Those who say copy cats, can you use apple pay on a magnetic swipe reader. NO you cant, SO samsung (loop) pay creates a tokenised transaction via a magnetic field which tricks swipe readers into believing a card has been swiped. How is that Copying, in words of apple evangelists, One company rushed to provide a solution, the second company produced a more workable solution
Edge to edge screen, not sure on this myself but looks great.
New touch fingerprint sensor
Wireless charging which covers both standards
10 or 15 minute charge gives 4 hours use
A reduced TW which was well required but until reviews come out its will still be same old tw
