Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge release date: where can I get it?

Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge release date where can I get it The Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge may be tempting you towards a Samsung, and away from its less curvaceous brother the Galaxy S6, but when and where will you be able to get one?
Pre-orders are now open, and Samsung has confirmed the Galaxy S6 Edge will go on sale in 20 countries on April 10, so we thankfully don't have too long to wait to get our hands on its additional curved displays.
You have the choice of 32GB, 64GB or 128GB of internal storage, plus a variety of colours, but it's certainly not cheap.

Samsung

The Galaxy S6 Edge is available for pre-order on Samsung's official site, and via its own dedicated stores, but there's no sign of the 32GB model.
That means you have to make do with the even more expensive 64GB, £760 model as the price and release date for the 128GB version is still "TBC".
In terms of colour you can chose from black, white, gold or green, with the first three available from April 9 in the 64GB format, while green is also "TBC".

EE

EE is only dealing in the 64GB Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge for now, with white, gold and black all available for pre-order.
The recommended tariff here will see you stump up £49.99 at point of sale and then £53.49 every month for two years. In return you'll get a 64GB Galaxy S6 Edge, unlimited minutes and texts and whopping 20GB of data.

O2

Over to O2 and you're back to the option of either 64GB or 128GB of storage and the choice of black, white or gold, but only the 64GB version is up for pre-order.
With the Galaxy S6 Edge coming in more expensive you're looking at £99.99 upfront and then £48 per month in return for unlimited minutes and texts and 2GB of data.

Vodafone

Vodafone has the 64GB and 128GB Galaxy S6 Edge models available for pre-order and you can choose from a 12 or 24 month contract and 3G or 4G tariff.
Stick with 24 months and 4G connectivity and you can get a free Galaxy S6 Edge for £53.50 a month which comes with 7GB of data plus unlimited calls and texts.

Three

Completing the big four, Three has also revealed it'll be flogging the S6 Edge, but it hasn't opened its pre-orders yet.

Carphone Warehouse

You can pre-order the Galaxy S6 SIM-free from Carphone, but for some reason you can't do the same with the Galaxy S6 Edge, with the high street retailer only providing pay monthly plans.
Again the 32GB model is missing, with just the 64GB and 128GB S6 Edge's up for pre-order. Delivery for the black and white 64GB handsets is expected on April 10, while the gold model plus all 128GB options have a 4-6 weeks wait.
There a tariffs from O2, Vodafone and EE to pick from, although you'll have to pay at least £99.99 upfront on a two year deal.

Online retailers

There's a SIM-free price for the Galaxy S6 Edge on MobileFun which has the 32GB handset available in black, white or gold for a pre-order price of £699.
The 64GB model is also listed (in black, white and gold) at a pricey £749 if you fancy some extra storage.
Expansys has the Galaxy S6 Edge listed, but there's currently no price and all you can do is register for updates.
It's the same story over at Unlocked-Mobiles, which again lists the Galaxy S6 Edge for £649.98, but you can't pre-order just yet.
Clove also has a "notify me" feature on its Galaxy S6 Edge page, allowing you to keep up to date with pre-orders, prices and the on sale date.
