I have had my Edge for a few days, and I may change my mind on a few aspects, but this is what I feel at the moment.
What has stood out so far is:
The cost. I am happy to pay a fair amount for my technology, but this phone is very expensive. This alone will ensure that this will remain a niche device. Maybe Samsung see it as a prototype for the allegedly forthcoming Galaxy S6 and are more interested in the response to it than sales.
The battery. It leaks power at a rate I haven't come across before. Which makes it very fortunate that it charges so very quickly - and that it has the ultimate power saving mode. I would really rather not have to use my phone in black and white though.
The curve. This is, of course, what makes it unique. It feels and looks wonderful and is very well made. Handing it around to some friends today, they were all very impressed. It makes accessing my apps very easy, but I'm note sure that it is a life changer when compared to accessing them from the regular screen(s). I'm not going to call it an edge, because that would demean it as it is a beautifully manufactured curve. It really ought to be called the Note Curve.
I really can't see what I should be doing with S pen. I have googled it and no one else seems to know either, so I suppose it will have to make do as an adequate tea stirrer.
The screen is simply gorgeous. The size of the phone fits well in my large hand. I am ostensibly left handed (there are several things I do right handed), and hold my Edge in my right hand. Accessing the edge strips seems natural and easy. Contrary to some reviews, having the wake up button at the top doesn't seem problematical to me.
Overall it works very well, and is very appealing to use. It is exciting in the way that, say, the S5 never was. But at that price, it really should be.
