    Trade in kit

    Where did you see this? I have been looking for information as well since my trade in kit shipped per email I received as well.

    Here's how the Google Store trade works: Not what you think

    Nice - thanks for the info. The one thing I am wondering about in addition to this is when to send the trade in in. I received a email today that my trade in kit is on the way, but I will not have my new phone for 2 weeks.

    Is preferred care worth it? (assume you have the credit card 2x warranty)

    Well if that is the case then Upsie it is again for me.

    Is preferred care worth it? (assume you have the credit card 2x warranty)

    I am going to chat/call Google later about this as I did not order it either with my XL. I am still debating the $129 through Google or $79 through Upsie. The $50 will not make or break me - just trying to figure out if having it through Google would be the best. Not that I have ever used...

    Best cases for Google Pixel 2

    I have had a Spigen Rugged Armor on my XL since day 1. Since it will not release until after I get my phone (should have the 64 GB XL by the 19th or 20th of October) I just bought a Caseology Vault. Just had to watch a youtube video that shows the Vault and Rugged Armor are basically the same...

    Pixel says answered on another device

    I run into this quite a bit. It has gotten better than 6 months ago, but I still run into it. It can get annoying and is one reason I have not added more Home's to my house yet.

    Free mini?

    If you look at the mini in the Google store it says you will receive a code 4 to 6 weeks after your Pixel 2 ships. Hope that is the case as I did not see anything during checkout either.

    HTC ONE M8 Or iPhone 6

    I have the M8 and have been an avid android user with one regression for the iPhone 4. I decided for myself it was time to make a change and have a iPhone 6 being shipped out to me this week. Now a days you cannot go wrong with either platform - the spec watchers and number crunchers will talk...

    Are you using the stock messaging app or third party?

    Tried the stock messaging app and it was not too bad. However, I have gone back to using hangouts - works great.

    HTC One: Boomsound ? love it or leave it?

    Re: HTC One : Boomsound ? love it or leave it? One thing I have noticed is that Boomsound is not only the speakers. Everything through the Headphone jack sounds much better. I love it. I use my phone as an alarm and the speakers make a huge difference for me - coming from a Nexus 4.

    HTC One (M8): Torn between cases - Dot View or Flip?

    I am having trouble making up my mind so hoping for some opinions and experiences in regards to the Dot View and HTC Flip case. I have read through the current threads and the reviews but have not seen a few things I am looking for to make my mind up. I am hoping to prevent the possibility of...

    Sense 6.0 vs Touchwiz

    I have only played with TouchWiz in the store. In my short time it seemed to get in the way of doing things and added too much to Android. touchWiz felt like it was trying to be a OS by itself - instead of complimenting Android like the 6th Sense does. I love vanilla Android would only use...
