Why am I a redneck? I live near New York City and work in Manhattan.
You can uninstall the Verizon apps.

Definitely not a redneck , Wolf of Wall Street maybe)

O.K. a City Slicker.

I'm a Redneck from the word go.
Would hate to live in the City.

Don't like all the buildings, traffic, crime, and people in the city's.
Country life !

I don't live in the city.....I'm a suburb guy in a area that used to be the country with farms and summer homes.

Got cattle ranchs and woods around me.
Way past were you live
I don't like HOA people walking on my property.

We are all different but I never had issues with display quality on the 2XL. I do find that the 3XL is better but if I had to go backwards I would be OK. I also don't have issues with the notch and in most cases I have to "look" to notice it. I see a trend here on AC of people that had their doubts and they have completely adjusted.

On the 2XL it was the combo of knowingly putting out a flawed product while inflating the price. I agree that most people get used to the 3XL looks to the point of ignoring the ugly, but first impressions matter ("Hey, check out this ugly new phone I just paid $1,000 for!"). In both cases somebody at Google made the affirmative decision to OK those designs. There are also a number of small (death by cuts) reasons why I'm turned off by the 3XL (e.g. crippling wireless charging on non-authorized pads), some of which are affirmative decisions that I don't want to support. If they're going to charge top end flagship prices for a niche product meant to showcase Google's software, then the design, hardware, fit and finish should be in all respects state of the art. I want to buy that product and I'd pay ~$1,000 for it. Osterfat and the rest of his hardware team need to go.

I purchased the OP6T Thunder Purple. Hopefully Google will get it right with the 4XL.

I was happy to trade in my Pixel XL last year with pretty decent residual value towards the only slightly price-inflated Pixel 2 XL, and then pay off the remainder over the next 12 months figuring I could just repeat for the 3 XL - till they offered far less in trade-in for the 2 XL against a substantially increased retail of the 3 XL.

With the $200 off promotion, it actually becomes fairly attractive, with a net cost of just under $450 for the 3 XL, or $37/month to pay it off in time for the 4 XL. Of course, that doesn't account for the accessory costs finding the right case, screen protector, etc.

Decisions, decisions...

 

[Gustavo Bernardes Santos]

Awesome

 

[djisia87]

it hurts as one of the early adopters. It is pretty sweet directly from Google. The $50 promo doesnt do the justice

Am I the only one who's never had one of the previous Pixels? I've been eyeing the Pixel 3 as the successor to my HTC U11 (always disliked Samsung's software and camera is very important to me so the OnePlus is out), waiting for the right time although my U11 has just started acting a tad glitchy in the past three weeks or so...looks I'm buying the 3 next week.

EDIT: Anyone know when Google usually make promotions live? Midnight EST, Midnight PST or some other time?

I got my 1st pixel.
I left Samsung because of Bixby and Samsung Pay.

My phone is a pixel 3 XL.
What kind of issues are you talking about.
I have not had any issues.

Hmm, the 4GB/64GB P3XL for $699+tax or the 8GB/128GB OP6T for $579?

Don't care about camera, can live without wireless charging, the OP6T UI & options and battery are vastly superior, don't want to reward Google's horrible hardware design and management team, don't want to patronize overpriced flagships (tho $699 is the fair & correct price for the 3XL), do want to support high quality, fairly priced device makers etc. Everything screams OP6T...

...and yet if it wasn't for the 3XL's horrible app killing memory management I'd probably pull the trigger on this deal for the better screen and relative safety of Google support, updates etc. Decisions, decisions... (yes, I'm probably going to break down and buy one of these.)

Ive been holding off for the next week. I'm likely going to be picking up a 6T in the next few days. I almost bit on this sale but I realized along with everything you listed I am just not excited about the pixel 3. I honestly just find it uninteresting and there's so many things I've seen in Oxygen OS I'm excited to try and use.

Too many people listen to negativity and it spoils things for them

Running a pixel 2 now, regardless of the issues on the pixel 3, I still find it uninspiring.
