I racked up deals like crazy. I got the Fold4, 512mb, and the Watch 4 Pro for a total of $1,012 dollars on samsung finance for like 28 a month.

Getting the fold for 23/month

854 total after all the deals. 

 

Seeing about adding the watch but the site keeps getting finicky and saying cart is empty. 

i really had no interest in getting one of these phones a week ago. having said that, im very close to pulling the trigger on a fold 4 :lol: 

theyll give me $475 in trade in credit for my wifes old s9+, and i can throw in a watch 5 and buds2 pro for another $50. she needs a new watch anyway. i met a guy this weekend that had a flip 3 and i got to play with it. thats pretty much what talked me into it. hes had it for almost a year and had nothing bad to say about it.

I ordered the fold. I kind of wonder if I shouldn't have gone with a flip. 

Till they can fit the pen in to the fold it looks like it adds a lot more bulk to a case, or you go without it to lose that extra hump on the case. Not a great solution.  I'm a little concerned with the folded thickness, plus pen hump is going to be crazy big in my pocket.

Oh well... well see how I like it.  Their deals were ridiculously good.

I might just leave the pen in my work bag, I don't think I'll use it too much. I don't really use the one with my tab s7 much. I thought about the flip at first, but I think having to open it to use it would get old after a while. The fold has that big cover screen thats basically a phone itself 

I can honestly say I have never seen someone use a pen with their phone.  Ever.

I use it occasionally.

If I take a screenshot of something like text on a website, I may highlight or circle something I want someone to see.

Or I may take a pic of something, and write something above or below it. Like "what do you think" or something like that.

Thats about the only thing I use it for. But I have found that feature to be handy numerous times.

 

 

 

Ordered. Think I'm gunna need a case for it, the one Samsung gives you doesn't look great

Lol. This was my thread on the original EMB.  It was a parody of JohnJohns apple thread.

My order is on its way.

Yeah, those never worked very well.

These days it doesn't matter much if you get an iPhone or high end Android device.  They are very similar.  If you go low price Android that's a different story (they suck).

I use it once in a while. It works good for those JackBox games on the Xbox my kids like to play where you need to draw pictures and stuff. A few other things like HE said. It's one of those things that's handy if it's around, but you wouldn't miss it a lot if it was gone either.

My stuff is set to arrive on Tuesday, which is before release date. Im gonna be so cool having it before anyone else.

The folding phones just look annoying to me. I just got the S22 Ultra yesterday, my Note 10s screen got a crack and it was about time for a new phone anyway.

Yeah. Not sure how I will like it honestly. I like the idea, but its going to add more thickness which we arent really used to since phones in like 2005.

Im not sure they have the tech to an advanced enough level yet. I know you can still feel the crease on the screen, and see it from certain angles. I dont think itll be apparent enough to bother me. But I just dont know about the thickness. Expecially with the pen case adding more to that. 

I may end up swapping that case for the spigen case that can house the pen on the side.

The size of the large format normal phones doesnt bother me so I see bo reason to switch to a folding one.

I have the most gigantic phone, the Note 20 Ultra 5G. And it doesnt bother me either. I was trying to go even bigger with the fold. But Im wondering if the thickness will be annoying. Its going to be like 2 phones in the pocket + some since it doesnt sit perfectly flat at the hinge (more room to improve the folding tech).

Yeah the thickness is more critical (no joke intended). Even with cases I look for the most thon and streamlined I can find.

I've been looking at that one too. I'll give the case it comes with a shot, but I could see myself getting a different one. 

I think what really sold me about the phone was just that it's something new. I miss the days where every new phone release brought a big new feature or advancement. Now a days it just seems like every new phone is just a little bit better camera and a new color. I'm excited to get something that doesn't feel getting the new Madden game

Same. I just wasnt excited about going from a note, to the S with the pen. Just more of the same. Figured Id try something new. There are some drawbacks, but the big drawback to the S is that, its just boring at this point.

Yup. It's a cell phone all right

i am very impatiently waiting for shipping confirmation on mine. im hoping its not like my tab s7 that i bought from their website. that got delayed a month+ after i ordered it. 

It was delivered while I was at work. I am at home now trying to get everything set. 

Got it activated. Now transferring data from old phone.

I like what I thought I was going to like.

Im still afraid of what I thought I wouldnt like. I havent put the case on and had it in my pocket yet. But this thing is thick, especially with the ridiculously huge S pen. 

I took photos of size comparison on the old phone. I will post that when I can.
