I have chosen T mobile to activate new line and filled all the information for the new line. After I placed the order, I have not received any email from t mobile, I got the order confirmation from bestbuy. Is this normal? Any idea what happens next wrt T-Mobile for the new line? Thank you.
You'll be good to go with Tmobile once the phone is activated.

I bought this phone a few months ago from BB and upgraded my T Mobile line. BB had it on sale for $1300. I also traded in a Samsung S20 FE for $400 to bring the price down and also had a 10% rebate through my Chase cc.

Pros: Solid build quality. Extra screen real estate is awesome for watching videos and browsing web pages full screen. The speakers are solid. Camera is very good. Phone is snappy. The narrower, folded screen is easier to navigate if you're somebody with smaller hands.

Cons: Phone is heavy and thick. If you add a case with hinge protection, it adds a good amount of bulk. Using the full screen eats the battery pretty quickly. In bright environments, the crease is visible. The phone is narrow when folded.

I took a chance on this phone and like it alot. Hopefully the next version has a bigger battery. That is really my only complaint. I haven't had any issue with the hinge or scratches on the outside or inner screens. Most of the time when watching a video or looking at websites, you don't see the crease when the screen is unfolded. Honestly wish I would have held out and purchased at this price and received the buds.

Making sure I'm not missing something here.
Fold 3: $899.99
Buds 2: $0.00
Tax: $81.00
Equipment Total: $980.99
1 month Tmobile Service: $65
Total: $1,045.99

No activation fee, no contract, no termination fee, no Best Buy I hate you fee?

Why are you paying for a month of service when you can cancel today?

ONLY USE THIS THING IS GOOD FOR = emulation, especially old 4:3 consoles like PS2/PS1/Gamecube/N64/SNES/Genesis

other than that, grossly overpriced POS that has tons of quality control issues (just search youtube and you'll see) and limited application support for its niche format
People don't wanna hear that ..they just wanna hear that it's a good deal no matter what so they can burn that cash and feel good about it for some time, and then the cycle repeats when the next "deal" comes out shortly after lol

Will you provide more details about canceling the activation? How to do this? I have chosen T mobile to activate but I do not need this connection, I thought I will cancel the connection after a month.

That was kinda my question but since there's no carrier financing, the price I'm paying today should be it minus how many xx days of service I have?

FYI If the large screen brakes on the 2nd day you have it it is not warranted by Samsung. $510.00 to replace

We're 9 pages in so not sure who posted it, but someone said cancel same day they won't charge you. Cancel after a day and they'll charge you for the entire month I believe. Don't think they prorate any more. They didn't when I canceled my iPhone 13 Pro Max. Got dinged for the full month. Same when I canceled my iPad. They were both on Tmobile.

Why wouldn't there be a warranty? Is this one of those <post an something incorrect to get the correct answer (how long is the warranty and what is covered) instead of asking directly> things? That said, anyone know what is covered under warranty and for how long?

You're telling me with the $10 Samsung Care that you believe they won't replace the screen?

Quote from MeAmSuperman :
Almost got it but had to be real with myself. 99% of the time I'd be using this folded and the screen is too narrow/long/slim and awkward. Add to that battery life, SPen being a separate purchase but nowhere to place the actual SPen on it and a so-so camera, I'll hold of on other offerings. Just my opinion but stating it in case others may be on the fence.
I'm in the same boat, my sister has this phone and she mostly uses it folded and looks awkward the only times she really uses the unfolded screen is to watch videos and to show it off. The crease is really annoying very visible and can't ignore it, it's a groove. As soon as the front screen gets a decent screen ratio I will jump on it. It'll probably take at least a couple more generations to improve its compromises IMO.

A 256GB Fold 3 with wireless buds for $999 is a FAR better value than a 128GB 6.1" iPhone 13 Pro in my honest opinion…
