I also had issues with IMEI1 on Friday but third attempt worked.
Had confirmation that my claim was validated late Friday evening - hoping I don't have to wait long to receive the goods
Have you heard back since?
Tried the S8 and have now moved to S8+. Additional screen size and battery were my reasons. Having recently come from the iPhone 7 plus the size is not an issue and the regular s8 just seems too thin to me now.
New to the Pixel having debated it for some weeks. Finally pulled the plug and left my iPhone 7 plus for a Pixel XL and not regretting it one bit.
Had plenty of opportunity to take some pics and I've not been disappointed. Love the dynamic range of this thing!
