S6 Edge Users - Need some feedback on the curved screen

[game@holic]

I just have a question for all Galaxy S6 Edge users. It's regarding the curved edges of the display.

I am due for an upgrade soon and wanted some feedback before I go out and purchase the phone.

This thread is for users who currently own the phone.

I know that the Edge is a beautifully designed phone and really stands out from the rest, but does the novelty of the curved screen wear out? or do any of you have minor gripes using it?

For example, if you are reading text or browsing the net, do you find that the text which overlaps to the side of the screen annoying when compared to a flat screen? Or maybe that a vertical scroll bar for a long webpage would be on the edge of the screen and make you wish you had a flat screen?

How do you guys feel watching movies or videos which overlap to the curved edges?

I thought I would just get some feedback before committing to a 2 year contract on the device.

I don't find browsing of watching videos on it annoying at all. In fact, I prefer full screen videos that fills the screen right to the edge. I just makes the phone look even better. The edge specific apps are limited at the moment, but it should change as more developers get interested. I use the People edge function quite a bit, but not the others. Scared that the night clock will cause screen burn if i use it through the night.

I have been using the S6 Edge for a month now and for me atleast, the novelty hasn't worn off. Browsing and videos are great on the phone actually. I find controlling volume easier using the screen during video playback. Try and go to the shop a play around with both devices every time you visit the mall (that's what i did) or if you know someone with the phone then...
If the edge screen is not a big deal for you, then save money and get the regular S6, for me only the edge was gonna do.
