If you have a smaller hand size, using the edge phone is a pain... you will pretty much hit the corners with your palm if you use it one handed...
The edge part when watching movies, will have this annoying light reflection line...
but it does have larger battery... the screen size is really not a big deal as the sides are pretty useless.. lol... but I still love my Edge... it stands out from traditional non edge phones...

S7 is too small, I'd say go for Edge.

well I had a note before and could use it one hand fine. the edge should be a bit smaller so I dont think i will have troubles using it with one hand, unless its the edge part of the screen is the reason why its harder to use with one hand.
I just hate the fact that it dosent have a removeable battery. I do alot of camping and music festivals so I like the quick-swap method

I do alot of camping and music festivals so I like the quick-swap method | go to a best buy or another store that has live demo's you can hold. i personally hate the edge screen as theres little bezel left on the sides to hold on to. i went for the standard s7 for that reason alone and i'm really damn happy with the phone. i've got the international model and i get about 19hrs usage from one charge with 4-5hrs screen on time.
its 2016 breh, ain't many phones left with a removable battery. either go the zero lemon brick case route or battery bank. i just bought a 10000 mah battery bank off amazon for $25. it'll charge my phone 3 times and it supports quickcharge 2.0

So I won a Galaxy X7 from a company event. I'm not sure if it's locked to Telus based on the business card attached to the box, or from what I've read, starts unlocked but it becomes carrier locked when a SIM is inserted. I'm currently with Rogers. If I get a nano SIM from Rogers, will I be alright using the phone on their network if the phone was apparently sourced from Telus?

As long as it's carrier unlocked I don't see why there would be an issue. You could always take it with you to Rogers and ask if they could test it with one of their sims maybe? I'm not sure if they still do that though.
------------------------------------------
On an unrelated note, is anyone having issues with staying connected to wifi? My s4 never dropped but ever since I got my s7 it seems to have issues staying connected. I updated it last night (which mentioned a fix for wifi instability) but I haven't noticed an improvement yet. Just wondering if it's my phone or it's a common problem.

All S7's that I know of here are factory unlocked until the first SIM is inserted and then it locks.

i love spigen products but i'd hardly call that a rugged case. i've got spigens thin fit case for day to day use and a UAG case for when i feel like i need a little more protection.  | |

What screen protector are you guys using for your Edge? I got a skinomi techskin and it 3/4 corners are peeling when I'm using a case.
I'd prefer full coverage, but there aren't many choices

I changed it to keep WiFi on always and now have no issues.
