Even if you could, Should anyone buy a Pixel right now?

No way I would be paying up tons load of money for pixel. Google sucks with their promotions. Google totally robbing people with the price tag even after months of original release. Enjoy your pixel if you have one, it's simply not worth what Google is till asking for.

It's priced exactly the same as it's competition was at release. I wouldn't expect a price drop until the fall, and even then it'll most likely just EOL.

Right, at release. But at this moment in time, Google might be well served to drop prices across the board by $100 - $150. When you compare full price s8 that just came out, to full price pixel that came out last October, the majority who are not as tech savvy as those that visits XDA forums and other phone forums daily might very well buy the s8 because for the same money you get a much newer phone with new design, newest specs, and most current coverage from the latest marketing campaigns

Good points. For what I want, the S8 still hasn't caught up, but most consumers would vastly prefer the S8 to the Pixel XL.

When friends and co workers ask about buying the Pixel I advise them to wait. The Pixel 2 will be out in Sept? It should have a few new features and would be worth the wait. If they buy a Pixel now they will have buyers remorse in a 3 months when the Pixel 2 announced....it is just around the corner

I believe carriers such as TMobile and Sprint are still offering a promotion for the pixel.. $325 back when you activate service! That's how I got my pixel through TMobile..

Yeah that T-Mobile deal definitely makes it a great buy. It applies to both existing and new lines so great deal.

T-Mobile offer is good to know. For me it'll be whether my fingers are compatible with the screen and will I get reception equal to or better than my Note3 - AT&T combination.

Truth - trying to decide if I get the P2 from Verizon or Google.

Once I put the Verizon sim card in, it is pretty much a Verizon Pixel anyway, yes? no?

If you buy it from Google/Verizon it is carrier unlocked. But only Google Pixels can have their bootloader unlocked without an exploit.

Seriously? The nuts in these forums - myself included - have buyer's remorse every week anyway. Go ahead and get it. Sell it when the P2 comes.

Indeed! Chasing the horizon...

The waiting game is a fool's errand. It never ends, phone's are always coming out.. new tech always coming out.. best way to make a decision is what's in front of you now, no telling what the future is gonna bring.

We don't even have hard specs on the P2 yet.... ijs.

If you have a working phone, and want a Pixel, just wait for the Pixel 2. In the end, now the smart phones have matured, there is not much functionality difference between a new phone and one 3 years old.

It is a no brain wait. Unless money is no object.

I'm glad we all agree on this wait/no wait thing -
