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.

    First to market, first to recall and first to bin.

    They call this type of thing bleeding edge technology for a reason.

    Also note the early adopter $2,000 price tag. It was an expensive beta test.

      An expensive beat test, that apparently hadn't met the real world, yet. As it seemed to break quite easily.

    If the edge isn't razor sharp, then it won't be bleeding.
