    It's an early adopter price.

    Maybe Samsung can't make millions of units right now. So they launch it at an absurd price to sell to early adopters who will beta test the product. People are paying $1k for other phones, so it works out.

    I recently paid just over $1K for a Pixel 3 XL. But I'm not sold on a folding phone. Maybe I'll give it a look one day when it's time to upgrade phones.

      It'll be really good in 4, 5 or 6 years. I will get one then and it can replace both my phone and tablet.

          A cloth bag. Better than a basket. Cloth bag offers the same well known kind of protection as a scrotum.

      I really wish I could justify spending the $$$ on a CAT S61 phone. It's about AU$1200.
