or was it that long ago ;) I was the main man with my 2GB HDD :) hearing comments like "Why would anyone buy such big disk" "What will you put on it..... it is too much" "What on earth is this for? Keeping NASA data" "To expensive and not neccessay at all... 

capacity and storage...

The CF card for my first digial camera was 256mb! LOL. Both storage and capacity has improved over the years. I just picked up the Sandisk Extreme Pro microSD for my Galaxy Note Edge, it does 4K video so I need the faster cards. I'll post some pics if you...

Always difficult to glean much from these glossy promotional vids

It looks like it will be a bit more solidly built than previous generations, which is good. It will also be interesting to see how the camera performs in this new version.

Hello Avatar, Agree, it's always good to see these products first hand to see if it fits your needs. A few things to note about the new S6 and S6 Edge, they took out the removeable battery and it's now a glass back. You can't use microSD cards either. :( ... 

There hasn't really been a viable alternative to the iphone in terms of build quality

 
 By: Avatar : March 6th, 2015-14:44
This phone looks like it could well at least come close to the build standards that Apple have attained with the iphone. Having said that, the omission of a Micro SD slot is annoying. I suppose I can live without a removable battery, though it is handy be... 

re: alternative

 
 By: DRMW : March 7th, 2015-00:01
You're right, they concentrated a lot on the camera. Pre-orders for the US is April so I guess we'll see how good it is in a month or two. HAGWE Avatar. -MW

Now I'm beginning to covet one of these new phones

 
 By: Avatar : March 11th, 2015-20:52
The quality of cameras on smartphones still amazes me, especially for close up shots. I reach for my phone a lot of the time in preference to my DSLR such is the apparent ease with which it takes pictures of close up objects.

I was in Vegas and with my Galaxy Note Edge caught some great 4K video, pics in low light came out pretty good too. Was really surprised how good it came out. Hard part is figuring how to process the 4K but I guess learning is always fun. Would you go And... 

You've thrown a cat among the pigeons

Prior to seeing the S6, I'd have said that I'd have preferred the iphone, but now probably the Samsung is the favourite. Massive fan of Android and an equally big fan of the Samsung Galaxy, notwithstanding the faux chrome and slightly chinzty build qualit... 

HTC and LG has some cool phones

 
 By: DRMW : March 12th, 2015-10:38
I considered the Nexus 6, always wanted to try one. Now I can't wait for CES in 2016! :) -MW

The S6 Edge looks great

 
 By: AnthonyTsai : March 5th, 2015-12:41
I fooled around with the original Edge at a store before and it seemed cool, but not cool enough for me to want to get it. Maybe having double curved edges will now though. Cheers, Anthony

My Galaxy Note Edge is the best phone I have used so far...

 
 By: DRMW : March 5th, 2015-14:19
I really like my Galaxy Note Edge and the Note 4 has been getting great reviews. Hopefully Samsung can get the full potential out of the Edge screens. While some like the glass back I think they should have kept the 2 features that the Galaxy line always ... 

Has the curved edge been useful?

 
 By: AnthonyTsai : March 5th, 2015-14:54
If so, what do u use it for? - AT

re: curved edge

 
 By: DRMW : March 6th, 2015-00:33
The 'Night Clock' mode on the Edge screen has been useful. You can set it for up to 12 hours periods to do a low lit display that shows the weather, clock, notifications, and other info. I set it for night time so when glance over the nightstand it's easy...
