Samsung makes Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge available to pre-order in the U.K.


Brits can welcome in the weekend by pre-ordering Samsung’s new Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 Edge after the South Korean company today made both handsets available to pre-order in the U.K., with prices starting at £599 (approx. $884) off-contract.


Both devices can be purchased from Samsung’s own online store, as well as a number of third-party retailers and carriers, including Carphone Warehouse, EE, O2, and Vodafone. The official release date is April 10, but you may have to wait a little longer depending on the model you want.


For instance, if you want the Galaxy S6, only the black and white models will be available on April 10, while the gold won’t be available until April 15. The blue model isn’t available for pre-order at all yet, but Samsung says it’s coming “soon.”


You’ll also have to settle for 32GB of storage, with the 64GB and 128GB options unavailable from Samsung for now. However, you will find these storage options being offered by carriers.


If you want the S6 Edge, you’ll get the black, white, and gold models on April 24, but the green option — like the blue Galaxy S6 — cannot be pre-ordered at all just yet. As anticipated, the S6 Edge is also available in 64GB and 128GB variants only.


While prices start at £599.99 to get the 32GB Galaxy S6 off-contract, you’ll need to pay £760 (approx. $1,122) for the 64GB S6 Edge. As always, on-contract pricing varies depending on which carrier you choose, and how much you wish to pay upfront towards the cost of your chosen handset.

Exec behind “Next Big Thing” campaign has departed Samsung

Samsung Mobile CMO, Todd Pendleton, has reportedly departed the company, according to CNET . Pendleton is credited with creating Samsung’s famous “Next Big Thing” campaign, which took aim at the company’s rivals while highlighting the benefits of its own mobile lineup. The ads were smart, terse, and ultimately helped raise the awareness of Samsung’s brand as a major smartphone maker here in the U.S. It’s unclear why Pendleton left, but it’s being reported that Samsung executives became dissatisfied with the campaign’s recent success, even going so far as auditing the mobile division’s Dallas headquarters. It seems you can only use the Next Big Thing tagline so many times; the commercials have taken a decidedly different turn over the past few months, focusing on design, functionality and features rather than bashing Samsung competitors. The timing, I suppose, seems appropriate given that Samsung has just unveiled two new flagships, the Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 Edge. Samsung is clearly

You can now control PowerPoint for iPhone with your Apple Watch

Space is limited and we're limiting attendance to CMOs and top marketing execs. Request your personal invitation here ! Microsoft today updated its PowerPoint for iOS app with a rather bizarre update: remote Apple Watch support. You can download the new version now directly from Apple’s App Store . We say this addition is “bizarre” because, well, why would anyone want to control PowerPoint on their iPhone from their Apple Watch? This PowerPoint app also works on the iPad , and we would argue it makes more sense to control a presentation on your tablet from your wrist than one that is on your smartphone. Here is the changelog so you can try to make sense of it yourself: PowerPoint Remote for Apple Watch: control your slide show on iPhone with a beautifully simple app. Start your slide show and easily navigate to

Gears of War leakers punished by Microsoft

Footage of the Gears of War remaster currently in production leaked this week . Microsoft took swift action as a result, banning and suspending the accounts and consoles of the people who broke NDA. When you sign up to be a beta tester on very early projects like these, you sign a Nondisclosure Agreement. These NDAs are usually pretty tight and make clear what you are and aren’t allowed to talk about and what the consequences might be for breaking the agreement. In the case of these leaks, it seems that the leak actually went against not only the NDA the users in question signed when they started working with the firm handling the testing but against Microsoft’s End User License Agreement as well. The firm, VMC, sent out a letter to all its testers in the wake of the leak, stating that Microsoft has permanently disabled the Xbox Live accounts of the users in question, as well as any accounts unfortunate enough to be on the system at the time. Additionally, the console itself has be
