Bigger screen, higher resolution, smaller package. Similar processing and camera specs. How is it a downgrade other than perhaps the pen that no one uses.

Completely disagree. It will never have the hype it could have had, nor will the numbers be huge. But, I still feel those that pony up will have something no other phone does. There simply is nothing else out there like it....at least this year. Yes, next gen will be even better but if this...

I do not think the problem is insurmountable at all. Just looking at the ifixit teardown, one possible solution presents itself. Replace the snap in bezel with one made of 2 or 3 materials that covers the gap. Hard around the edges, softer where it bends, with an encapsulated foam on the rear...

Re: Galaxy Fold gets delayed! Well bummer. What a way to start the week. Was really looking forward to my new phone.

not cancelling yet. Will have insurance on it though...In case Samsung does not step up.

I expect a company to take responsibility for defects in design. Change the terms I proposed to suit the lawyers but all I am suggesting is that Samsung make it very public they will stand behind these devices. One year needs to be the minimum as that is when most contracts allow unrestrained...

For an unknown design like this there should be neither a deductible nor a limit (or a large one) on number of replacements. Should be as simple as its broke, the send you a replacement next day air with a return mailer inside. You have 14 days to return your dead one or be charged for the...

Thats what I have found. The Fold is taller than most any phone to date. Well perhaps the old nokia candy bar phones were that tall but no one has holsters for those any more. I do not know of any local custom case makers but not looking to spend several hundred bucks on a holster either.

The failures are a concern to me. But I am not ready to cancel my preorder. Really looking forward to this phone. That said, Samsung needs to step up and recognize there is much on the line here. They need to include a premium care plan with the cost of this premium price product. The plan...

I have always held my phones in a horizontal pouch or holster on my belt. There are lots out there but anyone know which might fit or if there is one made specific for this phone?

It does and is in line with samsung care plans for previous phones if you factor in the cost of this one is 2x previous models.

Tmo is not accepting orders until Apr 25th. Samsung is selling the Tmo version and in all colors. TMo will only sell silver. 1980 either way. Samsung is offering 24mo 0% financing and 12 month upgrade program. Also Samsung Care is available if you buy from Samsung.

They handed out far more than 4500 reservations for each carrier. Reservation numbers above 7400 have been posted online for either carrier. I was number 17xx and got the preorder last night. Almost went to bed figuring would do it in the morning and little birdie said, get er done. Ordered...

They do and have. Sprint unlocked my S8+ and its moving to TMo. Just a new sim once its unlocked.

Well Sprint started rolling it out last week and it borked a bunch of phones. LTE connectivity lost. No fix. The update has been pulled and no schedule for when it will be updated and released again. No way to roll back the broken phones either. Its a mess.
