Bought an S6 at £330 last week (from marketplace seller: Colins shop, via Amazon) only to receive a display phone!
To be fair the one review of the seller indicated this might happen... but returning via AMazon is at least painless.
However, this seller looks fine. And the price is comparable.
Someone tell me why this shouldn't happen? (No need to reply if these reasons are entirely S6 related (e.g battery), but feel free to state opinions of better choices for the money!)

Good price but the phone is too much iphoney. Removing extendable memory is what put me off.

Hard to favour this phone when the G4 is £300

Agree it's definitely in the running around this price point. But no qi charging or fingerprint scanner feel like heavy prices to pay for a 5.5 inch screen (I'm happy with 5.1). I'm also not a fan of the G4 design (though the S6 is not good either; only better in my book.)
I'm coming from a Windows device and have got charging pads all over the house. They've completely changed how I charge my phone and the ease of their use means I virtually never leave the house without a fully charged phone. QI charging has become a must for me.

Same here but the only way they are going to temp me is by offering me a 128gb internal memory.

what u need to check that it is the eu model. which would have warranty in eu Inc UK. UK spec means nothing other than the charger plug.

Don't forget to buy a battery case!

I'm thinking that with a decent ROM the battery life is probably fine on the S6, no?

Qi charging was a strange omission, especially as they have official cases that enable it. It's easy enough to add it with a Qi case or sticker though. Fingerprint scanning is something I care little for personally but each to their own

I bought 2 S6s from Argos recently(price glitch in the ROI stores for €389) but the EU Spec thing says on the box something along the lines of.
"If you buy this outside of the EU the only way to activate the phone is by using an EU Sim Card and make a minimum of a 5 minute phone call" so chances are if it was a phone from outside the EU you'd have to do it the other way around.
Just remember the description for this item "Display phone"
