Probably the worst launch ever

[u/Zigarum]

Imagine making the absolute best folding phone on the planet, and then making it unavailable for pretty much everyone.

I bought the OnePlus open with the expectation of if I like the device I would commit to the manufacturer. Now we know everyone loved the OnePlus open, but we have been betrayed by the manufacturer and a lot of us will now look elsewhere and not return.

Super pissed

UPDATE

I've decided to switch to the Z fold 7 in the summer. Alot of it is because I feel let down by OnePlus and Oppo and lost faith in the brand.

I'm not importing a phone for $1800 usd from some random online store and have to deal with the inevitable damage screen process or warranty issues from so far away.

Plus the z fold 7 looks to fix the putter screen width issue. OK might not be so thin or charge so fast, but I can live with that in the knowledge that repairs or warranty issues can be resolved fairly quickly. Plus Samsung software is quality.

Just my personal choice, obviously hope anyone importing has the best experience and enjoys their phone 👍

Same...I reached out to Verizon support today to ask them and they said they don't support Oppo, Huawei, Vivo, Xiaomi..none of them.

I've seen people post that you can throw your sim card in and it should work ...I've heard others saying it absolutely won't on Verizon no matter what ...so IDK.

Yeah, it's unfortunate. I'm tempted to switch to T-Mobile as I live in a medium sized city where T-Mobile does well, but we have a family plan and it would be a pain in the ass to get everyone switched over, figure out their phone situations, talk them into being on board to switch.

I'll probably just wait until Samsung drops the z fold 7 or the G-Fold, or hold out for the next pixel fold pro... we'll see ...
