BB will not sell you phone outright for $699. It's with activation! And they would have to do it right there at the store. Can't do online as it keeps getting error.

Are we going to have reports of broken hinges or creased screens a year or two down the line?

I would prefer this over the iPhone mini deal but not sure of the longevity of this design.

Look up flip 1 versions to seee how they are performing. Those would be 2.5 years out by now and would have had those issues in theory already showup.

Anyone have anything similar already? Is there any added utility to the bendiness that is worth mentioning but probably not obvious?

I need Verizon to match this haha
So Verizon has a trade-in promotion going on with best buy, that I found to be a better value.

[b]https://www.bestbuy.com/site/clp-cell-phones/verizon-samsung-galaxy-z-series-offer/pcmcat16287099... [bestbuy.com]

Verizon through Best Buy is offering the Flip for $800 outright, or $800 over 24-months. If you decide to use the 24-month purchase option, you are able to trade in a phone on the above linked list (S6 or newer) for a $500 credit over 24 months. This brings the total cost of the phone to $300 plus whatever tax you owe on $800 in your region - over 24 months, though - you don't own it outright.

TL;DR - Verizon Flip 3 for $300 over 24 months through Best Buy with the trade-in of an S6 or newer using Verizon trade-in, not Best Buy.

V1 was bad. Plenty of videos on YouTube. Increased "crease " area. This is v3 so hopes are high that it is improved.

Good tip. Looks like they have strengthened the materials for the flip 3 but even the favorable professional reviewers aren't vouching for longevity.

On the downside, the fold in the middle of the screen is still plainly visible to the naked eye whether the display is on or off. It's also easy to locate by feel.

While the crease may still put some people off, for a piece of glass that bends in half, the Galaxy Z Flip 3's display does a really fine job. The only unknown is just how well it will last over the years.

Looks like you can get an unlocked phone from Samsung with a trade in for same price or better depending on trade in. Even trade in a S7 for that $300 discount.

What about your trade-in lol? More-likely ~$1,400 if you factor in the trade-in value.
