Thanks for all the Gurus’ sharing and tips. Finally preordered the Flip 3. With all the discounts and perks, it is hard to miss :-)

What color did you get?

Opted for the green. A little bit of contrast, but not as homogeneous like the black rclxms.gif

Care to share the reason why you guys pre-order the flip phones? :-)

I have been a user of iPhone and entirely immersed in the apple eco system. Pre-ordered the Z Flip 3 coz it is unique. rclxms.gif Probably will still keep my iPhone as the main phone. But definitely want to give the flip phone a try.

What about yours?

Same like you. Been using iPhones for the past 12 years. Bought zflip3 cause bored with apple's same design year in year out.
I dunno if I will miss using some features like Siri Shortcuts for controlling my lights and smart devices . And copy paste to/from my iMac/iPad. Then my Notes/Reminders/Calendars etc won't be in sync with each other. Will give it a try
*
in sync among devices is sweet. I am started look at replacements:

Note : OneNote (free with Microsoft 365), Evernote.
To do: Google task, Microsoft to do
Calendar: Google service. I have always been on Google contact and calendar as it is accessible cross platforms.
Photo: Google photo
Cloud drive: OneDrive (free 1TB with Microsoft 365)

Please feel free to add :-)

We've been using bar shape phones for the past 8 years? Having the foldable phone is refreshing.

I'm going to Assume Iphone 13 is going to be the same ol design with minor upgrades again..

Seems like it. They take incremental steps to changes. This is both good and bad.

Samsung has always been in the innovative front. Since the departure of Jobs, Apple has stayed still...

Received the Araree Nukin case for Z Flip 3.

The clarity is really good. Packaging is really nice. Will test the fitting later when I get the phone..... :-)

There is an update available which should address the heat issue. But not available for us yet. Waiting for it to land.

True and some of them said it was a gift from company. Just wondering if they said gift from company. Would that phone linked to telco?

They can get rm 600 voucher to buy a watch. Then sell watch 4 at full price. Gain the profit.

So far loving the size of my green z flip. My only gripe is how much dust / lint the screen can attract. Am still babying the phone for now as its still very new. Comparing to my daily iPhone 11 Pro Max, the screen is amazing and the volume from the device is really surprising.

Hope those who are still waiting will get your units tomorrow.

Other who already picked up their units please remember to self service register on the care+. I am curious if I can top up to extend another year but that's pricey.

am using the samsung clear case, without the ring attachment . so far it seems very tight and have not have the case sliding off yet. In fact, it feels so tight i worry it may break when trying to remove the cover.

I am using the Araree Nukin case. Fitting is good and it snaps on easily. However, I find that when I extend the phone all the way to the 6.7 screen, the phone is not 100% at 180 degree. Seems like it is slightly "bend", just slightly. Maybe the case is hindering the full extension.

How is your original Samsung case?

Would like to chip in on the idea of buying directly from Samsung.com.

The real benefit is to utilise all the extra voucher/rebate upon purchase. I received my flip 3 together with watch 4, buds 2, and the free tag.

Buying from other sources, you can still get the vouchers but most of the items you like would be out of stock by then.

Just saw the confirmation of ROI voucher being approved. But my target of the silicone case is out of stock. Bummer....
