Yikes! mutters Now I have to wait for the Note 10 in august, or grab the Note 9 now,lol.

@dafyre while I would agree, waiting or choosing another phone entirely is best, as the article states, this is purely "early adopter" territory.
Avoid anything that bends for at least a year or two
Or more accurately when Apple is ready to release then consider the players.

ROFL. If Apple comes out with a folding phone that ain't terrible (this is quite possible) and doesn't cost any more than the Galaxy Fold (... maybe. The Huwei foldable phone is closer to $2600!), I'd consider switching back.
I know it's early adopter, I don't mind that... But I don't want the thing to fall apart on me the first day... give me a week, at least.
But I promise not to pull off the plastic cover for the foldable display, lol. I might even open the phone up and spread some super glue around the outer edges just to keep dust out, lol. (I'd give my phone a few hours to dry before folding it again!)
