To sell 1 million units, the device needs to be really useful and there should be a real reason to buy a bending phone.
It should provide something that is not provided in a normal phone but shouldn't be another gimmick.

That's not the future jet for this kind of devices...sens there is not jet flexible enough hardware/electronics.
Perhaps is better ffor this companies to build armband smartphone with at least 4.inch screen...

If they only make 1M units, and sell it at only $1350 it will sell out instantly and go for double that on Ebay. The crummy top of the line iPhone goes for $1300.

The review says it's ackward and unfinished. And priced $1320 for a device by a company nobody has even heard of. I can't say Samsung already has a winner, but I am sure the benchmark could have been more competition worthy.

1350$ is better than what we heard before which was 1850$ or even 2000$! I hope it will not be for more than 1350$ and comes with S-Pen then I will buy it
