That's the last thing Samsung needs to get done is getting this bloatware under control. No one uses these stupid apps and no one likes carrier apps that you can't delete.

Haha I meant last as in they've pretty much addressed all the other crap that made them inferior to other phones (build quality).

i dont think the apps slow the phone down by as much as you think. i rooted my s5 and uninstalled all the crap and its not noticeably faster.

that said i cant stand having all the samsung crap plus all the rogers crap preinstalled. i would think samsung at least has enough pull to resist carrier apps.

it could have been in my head but after using package pro disabler, my S6 seemed faster..

markymark - gotcha! : yes, i agree. the phone now is very competitive in terms of quality and looks

I agree mostly, I only use a case for work because I work in a kitchen.

Fair enough. This is an expensive device. So case would be wise.. have you guys seen the drop test on your tube. Suprsingly the s7edge did well for a mild drop.
