Note 5 vs 6 Edge+ help

[Kbluna]

I've had all the Note phones and absolutely love them. But I guess I just want something with a different look. I love the look of the new Edge but I ask myself if I'll regret getting it instead of the Note. Opinions?

Biggest difference that I can see is, do you need the s-pen? Myself, I like to use the pen to take notes etc.. if you don't see yourself ever using it, or think you can do without it then......

I THINK the specs are all the same otherwise?

I'd recommend not pre-ordering for two reasons:

A totally different look & feel-in-hand.
I've read where some grab the S6 EDGE/EDGE+ & instincly want to flip the phone to where the curves fit the hand.
Not exactly a desired result,as the display would be facing away from you.
Perhaps muscle memory/acclimation to the new feel-in-hand would come eventually,but,that's kinda messed-up.
I'd pass on the S6 EDGE+ for this year,see if they get it right next year,w/the curved edges on the correct side,as with the NOTE5 & other similarly contoured phones.

As for the NOTE5,again,I wouldn't pre-order,same-same,a different look & feel-in-hand,may not be to your liking (contours/slipperiness/etc...)
Sure,you can return either handset for a refund,but,you'll get stuck w/a restocking fee,just for the priviledge of trying out the phone(s) a few days earlier than the general public.

As for the lack of removable battery/no SD Card slot,no I-R Blaster,that's up to you if these are a deal breaker or not.

FWIW,I'm actually torn on trying one out,having the abovementioned features stripped-out is a bummer,but,I switch phones all the time.No demos in my area,I'll have to wait until 8/21 to get an up-close look........
