Samsung Galaxy Fold Preorder waiting room

[Mike Dee]

And I thank those guinea pigs for shelling out 2 grand to test a beta phone and go thru the first generation hiccups that are to come. Generation 3 we should start seeing improvements or failure.

Exactly, this is not a tech you want to play with unless you have disposable income. Even then it's a bad idea or at least I'm not willing to do so. Even if they improve the technical deficiencies this thing is still to much of a beast to throw in a pocket. I don't need to walk around with a foldable tablet that bad.

Wow... Samsung is having a heck of a time getting this phone off the ground.

Not trying to rub it in, please don't take it that way. It just surprises me about all the issues.

It's kind of the territory when you want to be first out with things.

True. And I get some things come up when in more hands than just the test group within corporate. I just find it strange that it's going to down like this.

After Samsung went thru the note 7 tragedy I think they are now more cautious. That cost them almost 20 billion dollars, sure they don't want to spend that kind of money again.

Lucky customers, they are getting $100 gift cards just for preordering.

I got the AT&T email. tho the one I received said that I will be getting a bill credit not a gift card. (As a thank You for my patience with this situation) I was kind of looking forward to getting the Fold...

Cheers,
