Just to reinforce what happens when you un-enroll from the Beta program this is a screen shot of the message you get. I then went to Settings, about system updates, and hit check for updates. There was no new updates since I just downloaded and installed Oreo yesterday. So it does not wipe...

I ordered my 128gb Pixel XL back at the end of November, received it a few weeks later from Verizon. No bloatware came pre-installed. I have read the statements from people that once the phone is activated the Verizon software will auto download, that didn't happen to me. And I don't think it...

No, having owned Samsung phones before I like the PixelXL better. It is faster, no bloatware, gets updates almost immediately, has a better camera than the S8 and is running 7.1 where the S8 comes out of the box already behind as far as the OS goes. I am looking forward to what the Pixel 2 may...

If you can catch Verizon when they have a special on the XL wait for that. Around the holidays in December they had a special on the 128GB XL. They were offering it for $20.00 a month for 24 months, and lower with a trade in. So I took advantage of that. And even though it was going to a...

Might also depend who you order from. Being a Verizon customer I ordered my 128gb black Pixel XL and was told it was not going to ship in a little over a month. To my surprised it arrived 2 weeks later. And it is the same phone (meaning no Verizon bloat ware installed). Plus at the time...

Not sure this is correct. I have the Verizon Pixel XL, and there are NO Verizon apps on the phone. I am sure if I go to the play store and search for Verizon I can download them, but that is not going to happen. My point is NO Verizon apps downloaded automatically to my phone when it was...

Wow, that would be GREAT and surprising, I was originally told it would not even ship until 1/20/17 by the store rep. I did notice that the recent email said that my payment for the sales tax has been accepted and they would update me on a shipping date.

Yeah, what's up with that? I ordered my pixel xl 128 QB almost 2 weeks ago at a Verizon store. I paid (or thought I did) the sales tax on the device. Received a receipt and everything. Yesterday they actually put the charges through for the taxes? So for 2 weeks they basically "held" my...

I have used liquid armor on the past few devices I have ordered, available at Staples near me. It cost 30 dollars but they apply it takes about 15 minutes. It is NOT plastic it is a liquid that takes 24 hours to fully harden once applied. But I can take a key to my screen and not scratch it.

I have used Seidio cases on my last few devices, a little price but they are great cases. I already ordered one for my pixel XL that I won't have until January 20th or so.

I won't have my Pixel XL until next month do to the back order, but I already have ordered a Seidio case for it. Have used their cases on a few of my past devices, a little pricey but work well. I have put liquid armor on the screens of my past few phones. I can literally take a key and try...

Ordered my 128gb Black from Verizon the other day, was told it would be around 1/20/17 before it arrives. Oh well patiently (not really) counting the days. In the meantime I have already ordered a seidio case for it so I can keep it protected once it gets here.

Great question, I was wondering this myself. Thought I was missing something, but like you said I have gone through every option I can think off.
