I ordered the cloud blue on 1/10, it supposedly shipped on 1/11. After a few days of no movement, FedEx notified me it wouldn't be delivered until 1/25. The weird thing is that the package originally shipped from California (where I live), but after the update from FedEx, the package is now coming from New Jersey! So Google either put a hold on the first package and reshipped it out of NJ, or FedEx somehow rerouted it to NJ. Either way, this sucks because it's counting down the days to activate within 30 days. It shows I have 20 says left to activate and I still don't have the phone yet!
I do have an intesting question.
I ordered this phone under "add a person". It's a group plan with 2 lines, $35 per month. I would like to cancel the previous line, no phone purchase on this line, and keep the new line only, so that I can pay $20 per month. Looks like it won't affect the promotion on the new line. Anyone had done that?

Still can't be certain it will actually work.
turning off the device for sometime it won't violate the promotion terms, as long as you pay for monthly payment and keep Fi account and services active.
Seems ok.

They will not honor any promises that come from chat.
Look up reviews on Fi & pretty much all negative threw the board.

Can I port in my FreedomPop number to Fi?
I bought a FreedomPop SIM card from a local Target store for $1. I activated the SIM card with a free plan. I inserted the SIM card to my phone and made a phone call. The next day, I requested to port out the number via chat. The agent provided me with the account number and PIN within the chat. However, the porting process was stuck there forever. I contacted FreedomPop again via chat the following day, and I was told that the account was canceled due to "Fraud/Abuse". They opened a ticket for me and said someone from the "Upper management team" will review my issue. Three days later, I received an email saying "these phone numbers are no longer active and cannot be ported out". They still didn't tell me why it is considered "Fraud/Abuse".
I guess maybe I requested to port out the number too soon after activation (less than 24 hours). Perhaps waiting a little longer will not trigger their "Fraud/Abuse" detection. It's just my guess of course. Has anyone ever experience something similar when you try to port out a number very soon after activation?
In the meantime, Google is starting to charge me phone plan service fee, although it still shows "You're currently not meeting a condition for the $600 off Samsung S20 instant rebate" message. I am wondering if Google will charge me 4 months of phone plan service fee (if we don't count the referral bonus).
By the way, I just knew that FreedomPop is acquired by Red Pocket. They upgraded their website which looks almost the same as Red Pocket. They are now running on AT&T and will no longer trick you into subscribing a paid plan, so I guess it is still useful if you need to port a number out for some future deals. But I would not use it again to obtain a new number.

As soon as I asked for port out info they deleted my account and now no updates
I think if the built in plastic screen protector is removed, the performance of the FP sensor will improve.
It unlocks MUCH faster now. There is no difference in terms of unlocking time compared to A71 and my P3XL.
I'm waiting to see what happens with us that ordered after the tos update.
I bought a burner pre paid sim card off target for $10 primarily for porting in since I wasn't gonna port my main carrier number. Once I ported in, I waited a few hours then factory reset and removed fi sim. The fi sim has not seen the light of day since I stashed it into the S20 box that very first day I got the device and sim.
And yet, I have not seen any $600 charge.

I think swapping the SIM probably would have worked out fine but I just decided I didn't want to deal with worrying about it for 90 days.

New TOS -Activate the Samsung S20, S20+, or S20 Ultra on a full service plan (data-only SIMs do not qualify) within 30 days of the shipment confirmation email and remain active on Google Fi for 90 consecutive days.
