Carphone Warehouse today announced that the UK retailer has commenced taking pre-orders for the Samsung Galaxy Note Edge, with a launch date of December 12. The smartphone features advanced components and a unique flexible display that curves sharply off to the right of the device. Plans start from £48.50 with an upfront fee of £129.99 or a whopping £795 SIM-free, so prepare the wallets this holiday season.
We recently reviewed the Galaxy Note Edge – which we strongly recommend you check out – noting that while it's a superb smartphone and one of the best from 2014, we simply cannot find a reason why anyone should purchase one. Still, it's a unique piece of it and we're sure many will be interested in adding the Note Edge to their collection. The device is available in both blue and exclusive white.
Let us know in the comments if you place an order.
Update: Carphone Warehouse has corrected their previous release — the Note Edge is due out on December 12th, not the 28th of November. So you'll have to wait two weeks instead of getting it, well today.

The Samsung Galaxy Edge is a one of a kind smartphone, with a wrap-around touch screen that provides users with a new way to access information and engage with their handset. The device's unique curved Edge screen provides quick access to frequently used apps, alerts and device functionality all with the swipe of a thumb, even when the cover is closed. Users can also receive notifications directly on the Edge Screen while watching videos without disturbing their viewing.
The brand new handset also comes with a premium screen featuring a Quad HD and Super AMOLED Display. The Samsung Galaxy Edge has a built camera with a 3.7MP front-facing F1.9 lens camera and a 16MP Smart OIS rear camera to ensure crystal clear photos even in low lighting.
Additional and new features include Photo Note and a battery that chargers at a rate of 30% faster than previous Samsung handsets. Photo Note allows users to take a picture of a handwritten note and instantly convert it to a digital image and edit it using the new and improved S Pen 2.

Pre-orders for the Samsung Galaxy Note Edge kick off at Vodafone

Wait what? Didn't you answer your own question?
It's the Galaxy Note 1 era, all over again. :)
Though, I do note think this generation of the Edge will have noteable sales compared to the regular model. But still, more screen, everywhere, is note a bad thing :)
Note-d
And agreed

It's also available direct with Samsung uk for those looking for SIM free and fifty pounds cheaper.
Would have loved this but couldn't wait so bought the note4 and note regrets so far!
using my note4 or nexus 9
Continue to see guys post on here how they can't understand why anyone would get this phone, or how they couldn't wait, and don't have any regrets
Seems ironic and the posts kind of make them sound like they're trying to justify in their own mind why they made the best decision.
I am waiting on the Edge with Verizon and yes it's hard to wait.

Is £700 at Samsung UK and £650 at Clove and other 3rd party suppliers! £795 is scandalous!
Seemed interesting... but like others have noted... it's primarily made for right-handed people.
I love reading all of the people trying to justify buying the same phone as everyone else. Suckers. My note edge is everything your note 4 is and extra.

Gimmick.... Will go the way of the HTC One Ultra pixel camera.
Great tech but useless.
