Which provider and did you get your wireless charger?

O, that's easy... you download Nova
I got it from MTN and the wireless charger forms part of the packaging, I think it is standard with all the phones unless they are going to change the packaging.
I have Nova Prime but wanted to test TW, it seems that I will be going back to Nova.

Yeah - so I caved and the phone took priority over work
Only annoying thing so far is that what used to be the menu button on the S4 is now the app switcher button...

Purchased the phone outright from Takealot, made sure the stock they have on hand is local and Included wireless charge before proceeding to checkout.
Ordered in the morning and the phone arrived about 10 minutes haven't even had a chance to even unbox the phone yet cause want to do an unboxing video later on...
Packaging is impressive., colourful box..

I played with units this weekend at the Sandton City Samsung pop up display and at a Samsung store in Clear Water Mall this weekend.
My wife and I both agreed that when walking up to the standard S6 in its clear security desktop stand thingy, it didn't look WOW. When I picked them up I could feel the glass and metal. For me, the heavy price penalty to upgrade from my S4 is an impossible pill to swallow.
The Edge on the other hand has wow factor from 2 metres away. I didn't want to put them down after playing. I could stand for an hour swiping through settings and screens just to see it displayed on that edged screen. It is a very beautiful phone. I am sure it is going to take many months for that wow factor to wear off for all of you who bought one. Enjoy!
As a parting shot - woman who barked at me "CAN I HELP YOU!" when I picked up an Edge at the Samsung store in Clear Water needs to go back to customer relations training. The urge was strong to tell her to sex and travel! Would definitely have lost her store a sale if I was in a buying mood.

And as an S4 user who occasionally uses my wife's S5, it is a steep learning curve. I swear every damn time when I am trying to hit the menu and get recent apps!

Trade with the wife surely she wouldn't mind.. When's your contract due for an upgrade? Maybe by then the contracts have come down to R399 per month.
Still nothing official from myBB or other regarding 1x ADH or did I miss it?
Do you think the 1x screen replacement will cover a rear panel replacement? I would imagine both front and back are not going to be cheap to replace.

Cell C contract ends 28/05 and then I am prepaid. I am not signing another contract. Will port to yellow or red and then buy an S5 cash or wait and see what Note 5 launches at....

Samsung provides an Accidental Damage Handling extended warranty cover free of charge on selected handsets.
To check handset eligibility, you can register as follows (please note sms rates will apply):
1. To activate the warranty you’ll need to write down your IMEI number which you can get by dialing *#06# from your phone app.
2. Go to ‘messages’ application on your smartphone
3. Create new message to the following number: 34622
4. Then type: REG*IMEI NUMBER#
5. Send
