will have the eye scanner right ?

Can't wait. Sounds very exciting, but with an expected retail price of £700 - £749, expect it to burn a nice hole in your wallet just like Apple does :)

So you're paying £200 for the pen and 32GB of NAND?

I hope it does not come with the exact display as Note 5. I was told it is easily crack (the LCD bit not the glass) if drop. The display costs 30-35% the cost of the phone, ridiculous!!!!

Safe to assume that since it is not called Note 7 Edge, there will not be a cheaper non edge version? No removable battery as well I guess. Still don't why they have to glue the only consumable component in. Just hold it down with a few screws if you want to make it difficult for the average user. And even that plays havoc with availability as your average phone shop will not stock "service" stock

Part of the drive to make it waterproof etc. I guess. USB C is nice though ;)

Waterproofing is a design choice. Case in point, Galaxy S5 vs S6 (or any iPhone)
