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.
If you eat an entire cake without cutting it, you technically only had one piece.

You could save time by blending it maybe?

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.
