Am trying to figure this out myself. Also wondering if we should be going for the edge model or not. Have been due for an upgrade on my phone for well over a year now waiting for this model. Almost pulled the trigger on a note 4, but given the new note is due out later this year, didn't want to have the buyers remorse.

Now I can't verify that this is correct, but apparently a Swedish mobile site had a Samsung representative answering questions in their chat, the question about S6's release date came up (The Gear Vr for Note 4 is already available in the Swedish samsung store, so the question wasn't about that one). Maybe this representative said something he/she shouldn't have, because this is the first time I've ever seen a release "date" for the S6 Gear Vr.

Should happen with the S6 seeing it is a consumer version. When it comes out. Thought it would dependant on if your telco can benefit from giving you a free VR unit, which I doubt.

I will be gutted after pre ordering instead so I could get the 6gb data and unlimited calls and texts with 64gb S6 for $135 per month.
That includes $15 per month being able to swap my phone for a new one whenever i like for any reason at all at $180 and $10 per month so i can upgrade every 12 months rather than 24 months.
The 128gb S6 edge was only an additional $7 per month but as its on back order i could not pre order and get the bonus 2.5gb data.

The deals in Australia suck but they are better than paying $1500 for the S6 edge.

So my partner and I pay $135 each a month and then we also pay $150 for 500gb of internet at home with 20mb speeds and we have to pay $30 a month for a landline, despite not ever having a phone to plug into a landline, and somehow our bill is always $1000 per month for this all bundled together due to international calls

Fukn ripp off. Because we have to pay our phones out every twelve months to upgrade, before this new phone feeling at $10 poer month came out, they have given us a $5 each phone contract loyalty discount. Then after five months they wrote us a letter saying that it was a mistake and only one $5 discount was meant to happen and they were removing the other $5 discount. Scumbags.

Shitty thing is the note 4 drops calls every single call so i cant even phone them up and complain.

Without sounding like im name dropping, I know a bloke by the name of Bruce Buffer. Took him out for a feed and drink and poker when he was in Sydney. I have fired him a text asking if he would wear a VR camera out to the middle of the octagon for me so I can get film of him introducing in the main event fighters. Hes going to go to best buy and check out what VR is so hopefully he decides to get involved. Maybe he could find a way to get a ref to also wear a camera and we can pay to stream a full UFC main event in VR..,..... Fark this world is going to be epic when all this VR comes together. I know all of us can see everything that this stuff can be and no doubt it will all happen very quickly,

Sorry for my long posts, just dont know anyone in Australia who knows VR so this is only place I can voice my thoughts and get and read feedback

Did the lights aiming to the sky in the cinema always move? Also the big world statues, did they always spin around? The foyer seems so much more immersive.
Just wish you could move sideways in the main cinema.

S6 Gear VR is not the consumer version, the Note 5 Gear VR is.

Pre-order for the Gear VR S6 April 23rd in Japan. Hopefully this means it's out next month.
