    Questions as am considering an Unlocked from Samsung and using on Verizon

    I got my unlocked for $1,119 vs 1,400 from Verizon. I'll take my chances I guess.

    Spark email

    Great! Pinning feature is there. Not quite the equal of Inbox but so far I like it much, much better than Gmail.

    Google Inbox Gone?

    Inbox is one important thing (that was) keeping me on Google products and Android. Bundles and message pinning have become almost indispensable to me. Gmail doesn't have anything sufficiently comparable. Seens so idiotic that as of now I have no confidence whatsoever in Google and its products.

    Pixelbook skinned or naked?

    NAKED! It's too beautiful to cover up.

    I'm in!

    Just got mine going. I echo the praise heaped upon it. If I had known it was this good I would have bought it last year at full price!

    Contemplating Purchase

    I'm kinda hoping that they bring out one with a detachable keyboard. (not a bluetooth one). Rumors, anyone?

    Pixel (XL) and Android Auto

    Pioneer advised that you need to go to the website and turn off AVIC - sync to get AA working properly with Nougat until they can resolve this problem.

    Opinions on the Pixel phones?

    Too small. Only a mono speaker. Huge honkin bezels for seemingly no reason. No OIS. Too much money. Oh, but it has a headphone jack! No thanks, I will keep my N6 for the time being. Maybe check out the Honor 9 or Mate 9 later. I has to have me a phablet.

    This phone surprised me

    You now know what many of us have known for nearly 2 yrs. I love the size and the performance. Nothing out there that is all around better. The upcoming Pixel XL doesn't look like it will be worth the money to upgrade over the N6. It will likely be too small anyway.

    Free iPhone 7 with trade in of iphone 6

    They offered me $87 for my non Vzw Nexus 6. Oh, plus need to sign new 2 yr contract. Pass.

    Any Nexus 6 owners switching to the Nexus 2016?

    Probably stick with my 6. I hear the "Marlin" will be smaller @ 5.5" and no front firing speakers. Most likely a deal killer. A 128 gb or SD card version with removable battery at a reasonable price would be very tempting, however.

    rural coverage question

    Several years ago in Galax at the mountain music festival my Verizon phone was the only one with signal. Friends with AT&T, Sprint, T-Mo were having to use my phone because theirs would not work there. That was about 4 years ago so things may have changed.
