I have had My S6 edge for a week now and have had the opportunity to try it out in every way. The screen is beautiful, the updates for Health are great, the speed it exciting and the phone is just flat enjoyable to use.
I fine the positioning of the buttons to be out of the way and easily accessible and the size to be perfect for my hand. Even my wife who has smaller hands found it to be comfortable. The screens sharpness and clarity is the best I have seen and Samsung will have to really up their game to wow me this much again.
Cons: While I find the memory size to be wonderful I would like to be able to add more if I desire. I use the cloud services a lot anyway but still the option would make this phone perfect. The other thing I has an issue with is the wireless charger. While the charger works great it seems that once it charges the phone it stops and for overnight charging the phone has began depleting and is around 90% in the morning. while this is not a killer problem I like to start my day at 100% .
In short the cons are so small they are not worth worrying about.
I really like the new Galaxy S6 Edge. The curved screen takes some getting used to. i like how the phone feels in my hands. Very slippery at times, but overall very comfortable. The phone gets quite hot under continuous use. Not so much that I can't hold it, but hot. Could come in handy in winter operation... Battery life is short, but it is new and I haven't figured out all the battery saving features yet. Biggest complaint is apps for the edge functions. DEVELOPERS - Please make new apps for the edge. Also the current edge functions time out too quickly. They don't have time to stay on and be functional. They time out and disappear. Needs an option to leave edge features on. not sure the effect of the battery life.
All in all a really good phone. Picture quality is great. Video quality is great.
I love the design, its not like anything out there. The phone feels great to hold and I could care less how "usefull" the edges are. THEY LOOK AMAZING! The design is worth the extra 100 bucks for me. My only real issue with the device is how buggy it can be. A lot of the apps and keyboard can be slow to open and lags when swiping. Would love to see an update for performance and battery life. The screen is BEAUTIFUL! Unfortunately, my device was one that arrived with the superficial scratches on the front panel. It was disappointing but doesn't take away from usability or resolution.
Pros: Bright display, Realistic color, design, features
Premium, eye catching design. Fast, slick and powerful interface. Stunning camera. The s6 edge puts butterflies in my stomach and makes me weak at the knees. Samsung has, at last, made a handset which not only packs a powerful punch, but looks fantastic too. I just recently purchased a Samsung smart TV and they are both great products made by the name that I know and trust that have been creating great products for years.
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Durable, Realistic color, Lightweight, nice sound from speakers, fast
Puchased the Phone today and for 5 hours it was the greatest phone ever, after the 5 hours it was annoying due to the fact that the back button and the other touch button to the left of the home button stopped working.
It's fast, its beautiful and the battery life is not bad.

Pros: 1. This phone is EXTREMELY FAST. Quad-Core. 64 Bit. 3GB RAM. Even with many start up programs, such as Facebook, Twitter, ESPN, etc , the phone starts up and runs in seconds.
2. The screen is BEAUTIFUL. At 1440 x 2560, it's crystal clear, and easy to read. The Edge feature is a bit under-used and glitchy in my opinion, but Android is always working on upgrades.
3. The battery life is good. It lasts me about 2 full days of medium/heavy use. Yes, the battery does not come out, but if you plan to keep this phone for only 2 years then upgrade, whats the difference?
4. This phone's design is the best I've ever seen on a Samsung product. This is my third Samsung phone, (in 8 years) and I can tell that the Gorilla Glass and metal construction on this phone are premium and built to last.
Cons:
1. The biggest con I can see is the price. It's a great phone, but simply not worth the $$$ they ask for it. Perhaps when the phone is around for 6-12 months the price will come down?
2. Samsung Bloatware. After the S4 and the S5 we were told the S6 would have "less" bloatware included in it......it's a lie. The S6 Edge has tons of useless apps that will never be used by me, and I had to DISABLE( can't uninstall) them just to get everything under control.
3. Android 5. (Lollipop) It's not as intuitive as it's previous versions, or maybe that's just the way Samsung sets it up.....I find myself digging deep in many sub-menus just to do basic things. That's subjective though.
Pros: Bright display, Realistic color, Lightweight, fast processor, 3gb ram, metal/glass construction
