Yeah I've wanted to try an OP phone since the 3/3T. I really wanted a 3T bad but couldn't afford it at the time so I had to stick to carrier phones till this year.

I think I am hooked on the Pixel line to, but there are things about the OS I don't care for. Little things I'd like to change or customize which is why OP and Oxygen OS is so tempting. This fall it's going to come down to the Pixel 3 or the OP6T. However I think trade in incentives will sway me to the Pixel 3. Plus, the camera is just so good and with kids right now camera quality is at the top of my priorities in a phone.

If a major carrier doesn't support it I don't even look at because it just wouldn't work for me.

Sounds like Verizon (or Sprint) is your carrier which makes sense, why would you buy a phone that won't work on the carrier you use. But for those of us on T-MOBILE or AT&T the OP phones should work perfectly fine.

I'm sure that's part of how they are able to sell cheaper. No they don't have CDMA support because they aren't paying the licensing for it but they are also able to offer much more value for those that don't need it. Thats a big part of the cost of these devices is licensing for networking technology. It's why Apple is pissed at Qualcomm and suing them over LTE licensing. Not that Apple would pass that on and lower their prices if they got out of that.

You're right: Oxygen OS is so customizable and that's a *huge* benefit to me; as I customize everything! But you are right about the camera! I don't have kids but I have a cat; and I'd say I take about five to ten pictures of her a day... So there's that! Haha.

For sure, the 6T will be tempting. I want to keep my Pixel two for at least another year and a half though; so I'm just going to keep my eyes open and watch the OP line. It's on my watch list; next to Moto, HTC, and LG.

Sometimes there are carrier specific features that don't work on some of the carriers you mention so check with others on the same carriers prior to purchasing.
 
It's no competition. The Pixel 2 XL is just so much better. It actually works on Verizon. It has IP67 rating. It has exponentially better cameras. All your photos and videos have unlimited storage at their native resolution. And the OnePlus 6 is made by a Chinese company that has been a little loose with personal information in the past. Going from a Pixel 2/2 XL to a OnePlus 6 would be a downgrade, IMO.
 
Oneplus has really stepped up thier game. camera is a big step up while not as good as the pixel. Pixel 3 would really have to be amazing for me to consider it over the p3. The UI, extra features and fast charging blow the pixel out of the water.

Also the price that Google is asking for is way too much for what your getting

Exactly, but it's not just google. All these $900 flagship prices are out of control IMO. the Oneplus is so attractive because of the $500 price tag. Every reviewer agrees it's the best value you can get in a cell phone. I might even switch to at&t so I can actually get one. I have a pixel 2 XL and I have no complaints at all. I just hate that it cost almost a $1000 dollars.
 
Last week I ordered a OnePlus 6 and after using it for a few days I decided to return it and keep my Pixel 2 XL. The OP6 was a decent phone but I was getting too many bugs (random network disconnections and re-connections)
 
I have the 1+6 you guys won't be disappointed
camera not as good as Google but it's a notch down and the slow motion video great as portrait mode...

I just don't trust the company so no way I would use them (even if they worked on Verizon).

What is it you don't trust?
I don't think they can be any worse then Facebook ,Google or any others plus they selling a lot of these phones I'm sure if they want to keep selling phones it's in there best interest to not screw customers over

They have had a few oopsies in terms of sending data where it shouldn't. I don't mind Google knowing since I said they could do what they do -- OnePlus sending stuff where it shouldn't go bothers me. Google keeps that in house and doesn't send it where it shouldn't go.
