April 9th or 10th as I recall.
However, I'm amazed at all the dumbshits that preorder this at full price for like 1100.00 bucks only to have another phone in mind 2 years down the road.
Hefty rental price BUT, for those types of people, who is surprised? No doubt the same people that are on unemployment or have other more pressing financial obligations that they SHOULD deal with but instead are putting on the back burner to buy this and are truly "Ghetto rich" (using a more P.C. term than the 'other' one)
I own a S4 and S5. They will be the last Samsung smartphones I will purchase. Can't remove the back = no battery exchange and no µSD. It was a tinkerers dream phone. Now it's another iPhone sporting an Android OS. If I wanted the limited functionality of an iPhone I'd buy one. Samsung has lost a customer.

I agree with you 100% I have the S5, I cant up grade for 14 months but even if I could now I would not buy an S6 .
I could live with out the battery being removable , But I must have a SD Card slot ...So I as well will say "SAMSUNG" "If I wanted a iPHONE I would buy one" the S7 best have a SD card slot or I am jumping the Samsung ship.
I agree with you guys, lets just hope the Note line does not go this route. The S series is officially lost for all the power users, I have the Note 4 and love it. If the Note 5 follows this S6 trend then I have also bought my last Samsung android phone and will move on to better pastures.
