| 1479904 | 2021-08-20 22:04:00 | I've been thinking about getting a new phone for a while, and this morning I pre-ordered a Galaxy Flip3 direct from Samsung. It will be the most expensive phone I've ever owned, but I've decided I'm at an age where I should start enjoying my money. Shipping is 27 August. So am I bold or foolish? |

Not yet, but soon enough you'll be able to select from: A=bold, B-Foolish, C=Both, D=Both + poorer. ;) |

| 1479907 | 2021-08-20 22:34:00 | I remember, when working for Telecom in the early 70s, I was told about a new phone coming out that you could take anywhere, even in your car.:cool: We were surprised. It was Telecom's idea to have coverage the entire length of highway 1. That took a while. Now it's unusual to come across a location where you cannot obtain a signal. As you will remember, the original phones were the size of a brick - and just about as heavy and only the rich could afford one. Nowadays they are small and everybody has one. And why do they shout when they use their phone? Why don't they just open the window? Surely at that volume they don't need a phone.:groan: And as you say, Tony, why not enjoy your money while you still can. That's what we do and we are in our 70s.:clap |

You have to splash out every so often, cant take $$ With you when its ya time :) Just read some reviews www.tomsguide.com Looks like the cam isn't as good as some others, and the battery doesn't last to long so will need more charging. BUT at least you dont have to mortage the house just to buy one. Only real thing I hate with smaller phones -- its easy to misplace the damn thing :D (Been there, done that) |

Only real thing I hate with smaller phones -- its easy to misplace the damn thing :D (Been there, done that) I'm sure the phone will be good enough for me, and I think the battery life will be OK too, as I don 't have it stuck to my ear all day. It seems to have had nearly all overall positive reviews. I tend not to lose my phone as I keep it in a pouch on my belt. |

Worked hard and enjoying the fruits of your labour. A friend of mine bought the original Galaxy Z Flip and they absolutely love it. Gotta admit I'm kinda envious of that satisfying open and shut when a call comes. Hope you enjoy it! |
