The Galaxy Note Edge will land in Germany in January after the company asked its customers whether they wanted the niche handset or were happy with the Galaxy Note 4. As it turns out, they wanted the curved edge smartphone and Samsung has obliged by offering both the standard and the Premium Edition of the Galaxy Note Edge.
The Note Edge will be available from all retail stores from January next year but for customers who don't want to wait (and to capture the Christmas rush), the company is selling a Premium Edition on its online store now. The Premium Edition will only be available until December 31st (or whilst stocks last) and will include a Flip Waller, 64GB EVO series microSD card with adapter, tips & tricks brochure, display cleaner and three years warranty.
All this won't come cheap however as the Galaxy Note Edge Premium Edition will cost 899 Euros. Compared to the Galaxy Note 4, the Note Edge is almost identical save for the curved edge which can be used to display information or added controls. Here's our Galaxy Note Edge hands on from IFA 2014:

Smartwatches may have initially been considered a passing fad when Sony originally announced the Smartwatch range and Samsung introduced the Galaxy Gear last year but over the past twelve months, we've seen many manufacturers announce smartwatches; from multiple new Samsung Gears to smartwatches from LG, Asus, Motorola, Huawei and Microsoft there's a lot of competition. To make things even tougher, Apple announced the Apple Watch (although it doesn't go on sale until early next year) and arguably the most important addition to the lineup is the Android Wear OS but is Google's wearable platform the answer?
Having used a range of smartwatches (from the Android-toting Galaxy Gear to the Tizen-based Gear 2 range and the proprietary Pebble and previous Sony Smartwatches), we've experienced a lot of different implementations yet the first thing I noticed with Android Wear is that it's all Google. From Google Now-like cards to Google-backed voice input and a range of applications, Android Wear is Google's answer to proprietary platforms. As someone who has previously experienced the poor range of applications available on other devices, Android Wear presents something of a revelation - given that Google are in charge of developing the platform, developers seem to have taken ...
