Just renewed my Bell contract and looking to get one of these beauties.  Which one would you guys recommend?  Is the edge worth the $100 premium?

Yeah, I know there's not much difference.  Basically, I'm not someone who tends to upgrade his/her phone yearly, so I want to get the best device available knowing it'll last 2-3 years.  Do you think I'll miss out on the curved screen if I go with the regular s6?

I love the Edge, personally. I think it's really cool.

 

If you want a phone that doesn't break the bank too much, though, the Edge is not your phone. It doesn't do much extra from the regular S6.

 

But I would personally get the Edge if I were to decide between the 2 and money is no issue.
