soooooo
i finally bit the bullet and pre-ordered mine.. but let me tell you, it was a huge ordeal.
so let me first start off with my boss is amazing. a few weeks ago he changed carriers from t-mobile to verizon. and he did it by opening up a business account with the big V. he then offered my to switch my current phone, the note 10+ and put it under his account so that i do not have to pay for my phone bill any more!!!!!!!
as great as it is for me, being on his plan made it harder for me to pre-order the Fold 3. so one of the local V stores was where he originally opened up the business account. my boss told me to go down there and talk to Jay. since Jay knew my boss, my boss did not have to go with me to pre-order the phone. however, his shop just temporarily closed down due to covid. soooo damn frustrating. so i went to another V store near the office....only to find it also was temporarily closed down as well. now i left work early around 3pm so i can do the pre-order. i then looked at the next closest store and it was not really close. so i looked a V store that was along my route to go home and found one, but it was 45 minutes away which put me at the store by 4:30. when i got there, i was told that they were closing soon and that the last hour was dedicated for payments only.....f'in stupid!!!!!!
so i was close to a Best Buy and went there. but the idiot helping me originally quoting me the price of $1499 for the Verizon version of the Fold 3 but then told me that the price was $1799 but could not explain why.......so i left.
so on my way home i found a V store that was open and willing to do my pre-order for me. thank god it was in the mall which stayed open til 8pm so i had time to get there. however when i got there, i was told that my boss would have to either be there with me to do the pre-order or buy the phone online himself. WTF!!!!!!
frustrated i dropped into Best Buy and talked to an associated who explained it better for me. they offer the 256g Fold 3 for $1499 but it is not meant for business accounts. they do not do those there apparently. business accounts have to go thru V, unfortunately. but they did say that i can just buy the unlocked version and just drop in the sim from my note 10+ and all is good.
sooooooooo i went home and just now went to sammy's website and bought myself a Z Fold 3 unlocked as well as the Galaxy Watch4 46mm black.
sorry for the long OP, but i'm curious who else pre-ordered the phone? where did you do it? carrier? or a place like Best Buy?
