ROFL

When my last phone broke, I went to the store and said, "Just give me your cheapest phone". My theory was that they pretty much all do the same thing now.

And I kind of feel like I was right. The only things that I miss about the more expensive phone were the fingerprint security and the higher photo quality. The keyboard is a little less sensitive too, which isn't great, but everything else is exactly the same.

You like your Jitterbug, eh?

Yeah, well, I use the every loving ****ing shit out of my phone. Data service in BFE was game changer for my operation.

I pay for a phone that works. It's worth the money.

That being said, I don't drop that kind of dough on a gimmicky tablet. I am pragmatic enough to buy an $800 phone and a $200 tablet and deal with the shortage of convenience.

ESPECIALLY with a goddamned Android tablet.

Anybody interested in a phone that flips along the OTHER axis?

While Samsung is headlining with their phone-to-tablet foldable, Apple and Google appear to be developing prototypes that, unfolded, have the form factor of today's large smart phone but fold in half for pocket storage, similar to a wallet. It's essentially a flip phone but with screen on both sides instead of keys like in the old days.

I'm sure Samsung is working on one too, I just haven't seen it.

Personally, I'm not interested in a double-wide but I'd definitely be interested in something with a large screen that could be smaller when stowed away.

So how much confidence does this give?

They went so far as to put it inside a display case that was surrounded by mirrors in order to prevent anybody from taking a clear picture of it. Let alone hold it. And this $2k phone is supposed to be released next month...

That’s remarkable.

If it’s truly not ready not pushing the rollout is intergalactically stupid.

Meh. I'm really not all that attached to my phone. A simple smart phone is actually more than I need.

Nah. But my LG Stylo 3 is more than adequate for what I do.

No way! So, you're saying that it might not actually be worth $2,000?

Meh. As long as it doesn't blow up we're moving in the right direction.

You won't get better data from Sprint, especially not 5G. They're pretty far behind right now.

FYI, there's a lot of buzz right now about these foldable screens needing to be heated and there's some speculation that this particular Samsung phone has a heated screen. Apparently, extreme cold is bad for the screens? LOL.

Seriously though, how reliable are these screens going to be with so many one-off, proprietary requirements?

So from it looks like.....I can basically have a phone that's the size of two phones in my pocket now....for twice the cost.

Yeah....**** no.
