Thom Browne edition anyone else?

Has yours shipped yet? Mine hasn't.

I went ahead and preordered their limited edition. Initially the ship date was March 6th but it seems to be march 9th now. It's quite expensive and only have me 310 dollars as credit for my samsung s10 plus ceramic. I may just cancel the order or keep both phones.

I would like to say I'm a power user and I'm afraid opening and closing the Z will become annoying.

I do see 2 thom browne editions on ebay for astronomical price.

I don't think they will be available again from what I can see.

Well kept getting error uploading some more pics.

Well here is my take on the thom Browne edition. Been playing around with it for the last 2 days.

Wow is the phone long at first i was like okay maybe I will learn to like it. Well it didn't happen the phone feels off balanced when held in one hand while its open. With both hands it feels to to thin, but surprisingly I could type better though.
The folding novelty really wears off real quick. Went out for dinner and it got annoying open and closing the phone. It got so annoying I didn't use the phone all night, not even to check for Pokémon in the area. The wife loved that part I was actually listening while she was on her phone. Taking pictures was annoying as well. Guess what you need to open the phone. I normally take pics of my kids goofing around when we are out and about you know to capture those moments but again it was a hassle to pull out the phone open it and take a pic.

Oh the hole punch for the front facing camera is annoying its a lot larger than expected. I really prefer the s10 position, they should have done that with this phone as well.

Games a run tad smoother but not that much it maybe be it still new and hasn't downloaded all my useless apps yet. Some of the games are cropped I suppose not app developers have accounted for the screen ratio. Battery does not charge fast enough that is annoying. I consider myself a power user and the battery drains way to fast. I had to charge twice today.

Buds+ excellent upgrade to the buds I have. I have yet to open the watch, maybe I will open it some time this week.

I did jump back on my s10 plus for a moment and prefer it better.

Also the thom browne theme in the software is not my taste. My download a different theme later this week and see if I can customize to my liking.

I do have 15 days to return i have that going.

Apologies for grammwr. :)

That mirrors some of the reviews/feedback I've seen. Just watched Linus say almost exact same things last night on youtube.

For those that asked, the watch is 40mm stainless steel. Overall I think it's a great bargain compared with their clothing line.

Sad to say I will be returning the phone. As much I tried to like it didn't feel balanced and it was to narrow to my liking. I didn't want to bother with selling it on ebay but I will miss the bud plus they are amazing. Once i get my refund I will be upgrading my buds to their plus. The active watch 2 face is larger than the active watch but not paying 100 plus for the upgrade. Now if it was ceramic I may uograde

Looking forward to the fold 2 but in the mean time I'm back with the s10 plus the perfect phone for me for now.
