The phablet is already available in certain Asian countries and will be coming to the US this Friday. European users, however, will only receive the S6 Edge+.

To paraphrase Samsung: No, no useful cellphone for you. You must buy our Edge cellphone because our marketing people thought it up. Display it proudly on your desk with the rest of your executive toys. Show the Edge to your co-workers, and before they lose interest, we should have some other gimmicky piece of crap ready to dazzle them.
I want a larger Note-like cellphone with a folding keyboard, and I can't buy one for the love of money.
Everyone must make the same cellphone. Obey!
