I'm not going to pay premium for a device that will break if it get exposed to dust.

From what I understand the Samshit Foldables have achieved a dust resistance rating.

But in general, I think the dust problem is rather overblown. Just exposing it to dust isn't going to kill it IME, if you were like a construction worker or other industry where you're dealing with a very dusty environment to begin with then yea. But the average person should be fine with the occasional light dusty environment

Believe me, I'm not rich either lol

I buy phones like millions of others in the US, from the carrier on a EIP

So its more like ~50/month for a regular top tier flagship or an extra 25 (75/month) for a foldy

That's true, but Google Pixels are also one of the few remaining US brands that allows you to somewhat freely unlock the BL

So custom roms can easily be had, in fact GrapheneOS is one that specifically targets Pixels in general

It's the 2nd biggest reason I didn't jump onto the Foldy bandwagon with Samshit (#1 being how damn narrow the cover screen is)

That's true, but software is software, it can be modified by end users to suit their needs, especially on Pixel foldables which are one of the few remaining US brands that still somewhat freely allow you to unlock the bootloader.

So in that case with an unlockable BL, one could even flash a custom ROM that fixes any issues

It's too darn expensive for what it does

It's a phone that folds in half, the tech has been in development for something like 15 years. I swear I've been hearing about folding/flexible displays at CES since like 2004

After years and years of complaints of nothing but stagnant candy bar designs we get something new and fresh and now it's "too expensive" LMAO

the software side of things is what more important

Nice thing about that is software is updatable, I find it silly when people say the hardware is nice, but the software isn't there so nope. As if the software was as permanent as the hardware lol

Duh, that's how she issued the teleport and lockdown commands

Lol I tried, hopefully you'll find your prize one day fellow CCB fan 🫡

At least the link is here for wayward chili cheese burrito fans

Have you tried the CCB locator?

The item you seek could be closer than you think

The CCB is a franchisee optional item, they vary wildly in availability as a result.

For example, they've been available in every Colorado location I've been to

Y u no website! Lol

This is the perfect answer OP, a rich person would most likely never want to see a place like this in person, they'd "send someone"
