A:AnswerThe other person is totally incorrect, all Verizon phones are unlocked for use with GSM carriers and the Pixel is no different, im using mine on T-Mobile
A:AnswerThis is what I was told by a Best Buy employee BUT I'd still ask for further confirmation. This was late in the evening.
The financing (payment plan) option is tied to Verizon.
A:AnswerI did not have to preorder my pixel XL. Just walked into best buy and in approx 1 hour later left with my phone, all pictures transfer to new phone. I purchased my phone in October 2016.
A:AnswerHigh-end components don't come cheap, which is why old Nexus devices like the Nexus 4 and 5X suffered from having poor cameras and weak batterys. The Pixel is undoubtedly more expensive, but with that you get a much better phone that will give the iPhone 7 and Galaxy S7 a run for their money.
Is it expensive? Yes. Is it too expensive considering the competition? No, it's a flagship phone which is commanding a flagship price. That's fine.
A:AnswerI am also a Note 7 customer. I've already received and have been using the replacement. Today, I went to best buy... I had to preorder the Pixel XL phone thru their site... Once it comes to the store, they will cancel the preorder... But the phone will be available for exchange... They're going to then exchange it like the original note 7 exchange. I'd imagine you'd be able to cancel your current preorder and do another one for the Pixel XL.
