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.

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.

I love new tech, but phone prices are just getting out of hand at this point.

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.

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.

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.
