My REAL thoughts on this phone

[Lepa79]

How often do you run your fingernails across your screen...? That's like complaining about a glass phone screen scratching when your drag your diamond ring over it.

Hahahaha BAMMMMM!

Depends on what the Galaxy 11 line up looks like, and the Fold 2 might come out!

I am on day 5 with the phone and here are my observations so far. Will keep till day 13 and make a final decision. So far may keep it but the 2k price is making me think about returning it. Otherwise, it would be a no brainer keeper phone.

Pros:

The look is great and you must see it in person to get a better grip and it feels on your hands.
The front screen is smaller than I would like but no issues reading, typing or accessing apps that way.
The folded screen is amazing and my only concern was it it would feel flimsy but, apparently there is metal behind it and does not feel like my finger will damage it at all.
Typing is easy with gboard and I reset 3 buttons to be on the left side screen for easy access.
My live wallpaper look amazing but a couple keep force closing and sent email to developer for assistance.
I found a blue case on ebay and looks amazing and its on the mail already, once I get it that may tip me over the edge to keep it.
The fact that it is not waterproof, dust proof is not issue to me as i always carry the phone on my hand w a death grip.

Cons:

Only so far is the price but, I am considering an iphone 11 Pro Max at $1100.00 but you get so much more innovation, screen, battery, earburs included in the fold price.

Only time will tell and will make final decision this weekend or by day 13 on November 7th.

Nice. Update us on what you end up doing.

Ended up returning the ATT Fold as they require it to be locked for 2 months on pospaid account and 6 months for prepaid accounts like mine even though I already paid it in full. Tried the ATT unlock portal but it was denied for this reason. Went to BB and they placed and unlocked Fold order. They will call me when it gets here.

Ya, I left ATT last year for TMobile. Can't be happier.

 

[Ian B]

My BB order for unlocked version came in tonight and will pick it up tomorrow and return the iphone 11 pro max.

Picked up my fold about an hour ago and at 6pm will set it up. Can not wait.

 

[monty Stinson]

I am with T-mobile also, have the fold on AT&T for 2 months and will unlock.

 

[Ian B]

Fold all set up and looks like a bad ***. My BB clerk told me he has been the only one selling them(mgr) at this store and has sold a total of 5. Wow, this thing is hard to come by.

Day 3 with the phone and loving it. It is a crowd gathering device without trying. Anytime and anywhere I go and use it, people come asking about it or want to see it. I am glad to show it but, do not allow them to touch it. I explain why and they understand and are amazed at the large screen as a media consumption device for movies. I am going on a cruise at the end of the month and will be taking it for watching movies on the flight rather than my ipad/laptop. Battery on this thing is a beast.

No BB has this phone in Orlando, closest one is 17 miles away, has only one left in Cosmos Black.

Cool. No such money here. Will sit tight and just read comments here about how much you guys are liking this device

 

[Ian B]

Anyone know of a good extended warranty other than $300.00 Best Buy offered. Dont want to do $10.00 via ATT per month.
