According to a forum post on Best Buy, as reported by The Verge, the retailer is cancelling "all current pre-orders" for the $1,980 Samsung Galaxy Fold.

The edited forum post, published by a Best Buy social media specialist, says that "while Samsung continues to make progress in enhancing the Galaxy Fold, we will continue to keep our customers updated as best we can."

[...] As time drags on, we have to wonder if the Galaxy Fold will be coming back in 2019 at all. Or if Samsung will just move on to a Galaxy Fold 2. But we'll stay tuned for the latest updates and will keep you posted.

    Don't call it the Galaxy Fold 2.

    Instead use the convention of adding more 'o's to it . . .

    Galaxy Fold
    Galaxy Foold
    Galaxy Fooold
    . . .
    Galaxy Fooooooold
    etc

    As I said before on SN, I want the tablet to fold eight times so that it can fit in a thimble, a micro SD case, or a necklace charm. Like George Jetson's flying car. Just like zipping a big file over and over will eventually compress it down to a single binary bit.
