Damn, I want it. Loved my old RazR back in the day but aG and a half... I mean instead of upgrading to the new iPhone, I have the 7S now? |

I’d give folding displays a couple years of stability before taking the plunge. _________________ 14-5-3-12 |

I think they're counting on nostalgia as a big selling point. I had one back in the day too but I gave it up for a Palm Treo 600 because, even back then, I knew I wanted a phone that could do more than make calls.
I do miss the clam shell design. _________________ "Suck it up. Don't be a baby. Do your job." - Kobe Bryant |

I love new tech, but phone prices are just getting out of hand at this point. _________________ "Dread it, run from it... destiny arrives all the same." |

Not worth it considering the great phones already out there. |

Especially with folding phones being so new, you’re paying a huge premium to be a beta tester. They’re the future but not the present. _________________ 14-5-3-12 |

The total screen size is pretty typical at this point. It's a play on the nostalgia factor. In terms of actual use, I don't see wtf niche it falls into to warrant that price over a comparable Android flagship phone.
I'll be interested if a company can emulate the Galaxy fold without the same issues it was plagued with. A full sized screen that can convert to a full blown tablet? Now we're talking. _________________ KOBE |

The form factor is unbelievably cool to me since I had a Razr back in the day. But that price for middling specs, battery, and camera? Ugh. Just can’t do it. But I hope it’s successful enough to get a few updates so I can get a second or third generation version of this a few years down the line. |
