Does anyone really think that's a $1399 phone?
No phone are.
"batter cameras"
sounds delicious.
Certainly looks very nice and pocket-friendly...
It doesn't matter what we think. It only matters what they are able to get away with forcing people to pay.Quote:

Still, waterproofing a flip phone with all its joints and hinges, that's something I guess.

I can see why people would. It has the novelty aspect and most people who can afford a $1000+ flagship are going to be less fussed about going up to $1399, which might not even be up given how much some of the flagships cost, than someone buying an iPhone SE or Pixel 4a would be about moving up to a flagship.Quote:

This has definitely flipped my wife’s nostalgia switch. She was very reluctant to move off the old RAZR and this has gone to the top of her list for her next handset. She doesn’t seem to give a damn about the spec drop compared to similarly priced flagship phones. I can’t complain too much as I am still trying to come up with a justification to get a MIcrosoft Duo.... pot, kettle, black....
That, exactly.Quote:

Each to his own, I guess.
They still haven't figured out the support behind the screen - reviewers show there's no crease in the middle of the screen, but they haven't got the curve of the bit behind the screen right so now you just get two creases about a third in from the screen edge where the screen is bent most as it folds. Maybe they need an actual strain relief to fix it, something like a bit of silicone on the screen back?
It's not waterproof, else they'd be trumpeting an IP rating. "Water-repellent design" = some hydrophobic conformal coating on the inner boards if you're luckyQuote:
