Yeah, I think the white color will be the popular choice... wish Samsung offered a red one. I'm torn between white or black... wish the black color was a shade darker.
Got a tip for us?

Right away! Buying the Apple version for my lady... so I'll be able to play with it when that comes out as well.

Order portal is up... waiting to see the 512GB discounted before purchasing. But I'm getting $1100 for Fold 6, so that's a win!
Edit. Never mind, it's discounted... just had to login. But unfortunately it's only 50%.

I didn't think I'd get as much for my S24 Ultra, not a bad trade in and free Buds Pro. While it's a great offer and I'm very tempted to try it out, I'm waiting for the iPhone Ultra to compare the 2. Samsung really do offer great deals tho, that much is for sure.

Yeah, strange indeed. Initially, I tried on the app… but when I went to tap the purchase, it kept giving me an error. So, I decided to go on the website,
I was able to place the order… but thought I could get a better discount than what I currently have ($1,205). Hopefully a few days from now I get better results when I contact them.

Went with graphite Wide. I ended up ordering through Best Buy, got $500 for my P10XL vs. $320 from Samsung, and $200 gift card, and I already have BB Total.
I ordered a Watch ultra 2. Happy with my S26U, but missed my Apple Watch Ultra, and I think the better Battery and trail run feature, plus student discount, W9 code (in UK) and trade in brought price down to £409. I doubt it's £400 better than my galaxy watch ultra 1, but meh. I did get £112 back for a watch that cost me £200 2 years ago though. (sale price, student discount, trade in offer on an old Garmin, plus cashback)

Yeah, if you don’t have a Samsung device (to trade in)… makes sense to go elsewhere to purchase it than buying directly from them.
Only issue with Best Buy, they take forever to ship… you will more likely have it after it’s released. At least with Samsung they will ship it early, expecting it next Friday (based on past purchases).

I will have to say the last few times that I picked up at BB they were much better and had it on release day and everything went smoothly so hopefully that's the case for new orders.
I forgot to mention I went with the pistachio color as it really doesn't matter much since I will have it in a case all the time but I wanted to have something different.

Wide looks really exciting. I’m gonna wait for the iPhone and compare the two I think. Still using my Trifold daily along with my 17PM and very happy with that combo. The wide is very tempting though. Really think they nailed it with that form.

Not a bad idea to wait you're not doing too bad with what you have going on right now, I've decided I'm going to skip the iPhone foldable and might just upgrade to a smaller Pro iPhone

BB customer service in store is great… no issues. I’m just saying how they deal with shipping… every time I ordered from them it comes later than expected.
I went with the cream.. like the contrasting differences with the display and body when viewing it from the back. Going to check out dBrand… rather go for a skin…

So the rumored return of S Pen was just that, a rumor.
Crazy that the Fold6 trade-in value is $1100 this year, that's more than what was offered last year, lol.

Hanging onto my ZF7 fow now, the ZF8U to me feels like a spec bump than a new phone. The crease is also still there, just minimized, not that I mind the ZF7's crease in the first place. Looking forward to what Apple is going to do with their foldable or maybe the S27U. I would probably have gotten the ZF8U if the cameras were 200/50/50.

Yup! But if I’m not mistaken… I think we are paying more this year versus last year (in terms of total). But the people that opt to go through a carrier… they are getting the Fold 8 practically for free ($1900 trade in).

I might consider that. I have an upgrade on AT&T available on one of my lines. I usually always buy unlocked but I guess I could deal with it if I get to try the phone for basically free.
