Well a couple of days ago I purchased the 8 through BB for the 450.00 trade in the pixel buds, even though I really didn't need the buds. Then I started reading the posts with people who've received their new units and already having issues setting their units up.
It took me awhile to get my 7 working the way I like, but for the last 6-7 months it's been solid as a rock in every way. I couldn't let it go to start all over again so I cancelled my BB order.
However this morning I ordered the 8 through Google Fi for 399.00 with a 4 month commitment and I'm with Fi anyway. So really for a few bucks more I get to keep both!!!
