That's awesome, I can get rid of this iPhone 7+ which took the place of my Note 7

I'm very curious. Can you (or someone) update when he is done being a tease?

Sure will do.. If it's big lot of sites will pick up as well.

I just wish coverage was better at my work and house. The pixel works with all the t mobile bands right? My neighborhood is friggin Edge if I get a signal (their map says weaker LTE)

Yep, it does.


@bhatech : thanks!

My theory: you order it from Play, T-Mobile buys it from you then sells it back to you under their Jump program...?

Re: T-Mobile CEO has big news about Pixel tomorrow

Well T-Mobile will not be selling it. T-mobile help responded they would not sell but could get at googlestore

I'm interested to see what he has in store. T-Mobile help is saying they aren't selling it, which is true now, but hopefully that will be changing.

T-Mobile won't sell it directly, but that would be a clever workaround to let subscribers take advantage of their upgrade program and get Pixels at effectively reduced price (assuming they can manage some sort of 'gift' out other workaround for the warranty).

I'm curious to see what this means. I thought Verizon was the exclusive retailer. So perhaps there's a workaround for T-Mobile to offer it directly, or indirectly, to their customers and offer incentives (trade in credit, etc).

Interesting... That would be something. But hopefully if they do that the process is straightforward. I already got the Pixel XL from Google store and interested to see what he has in store.

Google Photos uploads/backups won't count against your data.

I think in general John Legere hates Verizon which is great and he'll do whatever he can to spoil that meaningless exclusive crap. I mean cmon Verizon, we can buy from Google store, project Fi but still advertise it as exclusive on Verizon.

Hope that's not the big announcement

It probably is something along those lines. T-Mobile doesn't really have anything else they could even do IMO.

Turn in an old cell phone and get a google voucher to use towards the purchase of a pixel or pixel xl.

Unless Verizon exclusivity is over, I feel like it'll be something along those lines.
