Best Buy's page if you want to activate an unlocked device as part of the order says "We're currently only able to activate service on this unlocked device with Verizon, Google Fi Wireless and AT&T."

But that doesn't mean the phone isn't compatible with T-Mobile, it probably means they don't stock T-Mobile SIMs and service. Do you have a source that says this unlocked phone from Best Buy will not take a T-Mobile SIM?

Also, trade-in note at checkout if you're selecting store pickup is "Bring your trade-in device to the store when you pick up your new item."

I was kind of against pre order but best buy offering 550 for pro and I would get watch. I expect watch won't be included in BF sale?

Best Buy charge tax on full MSRP or after-trade-in value? Thanks
When I did a Pixel 6 trade in for 7 last year in Best buy, they charged tax for MSRP only.

I see that the options for unlocked choices doesn't include T-Mobile. Am I screwed or do I have to have Verizon, ATT or Google FI?
No, you are good. Unlocked phones work at T-Mo no problem.

pixel prices drop a lot in first six months. I plan to wait
Well yeah, the Pixel 8a will be launching at that point.

By this logic you should get the Pixel 7a now, right?

Wondering if I should trade in one of my three iPhone 11s for a pixel 8. Cost would be $200 plus tax. I don't really need the phone as I havea s23 ultra as well as a pixel 6a. The watch does look cool though.

Do not expect it, no. Historically the BF deal is just a discount. Pixel 6 got no BF discount (2021) after release because there was a shortage. 6a got a $50 discount (2022) and the 7/7Pro got a $150 discount (2022). No free items included.

If I had to guess the BF discount will be either $150 or $200, max.

This preorder deal is very good. Pixel Buds Pro are going to net you probably $100 on the resale market after fees. The Pixel Watch 2 I think you can reasonably expect to get $200-$225. 7/7Pro preorder was simply a $100/$200 store credit which expired fairly quick. 7a, 6a and 6 came with free Series-A buds.

I read in-store trade-ins aren't a thing anymore, everything gets shipped out and assessed by the trade-in assessment company they use? Do they assess it in-store and give you the trade-in credit at purchase time? I'm not sure if they still do that.
Select in store pick up and trade in will also be in store.

I don't think any Pixel so far has been locked. I could be wrong.

Running my Android 14 update on my mint condition Pixel 6 Pro as we speak. Thing has been bulletproof so far. Not going to trade it in for a measly $355, although I must say, that's pretty generous given the prices they are going for.

About 4 months ago, I was refueling a company sedan hastily and very tired/stressed when I left my last Pixel 6 Pro sitting on the rear decklid and took off, kind of in a hurry. Realized I had lost my phone when I got back to work. Logged in to the "find my device" feature, watched my phone head out to a city about 12 miles away, thought for sure it was stolen. It went to a grocery/liquor store, then to a house in a cul-de-sac. I quickly got in my car and started heading there.

Got there all ready to confront the "thief" and there was a cool older gentleman who said, "hey man, I got your phone. Man, you took off really fast. I was going to turn it in to the cops." He had a 67 Camaro and a few other nice cars. Anyway, he went into the house and provided me with my phone, which, although its all-glass shell was completely shattered all the way around the metal frame, was still functioning normally and broadcasting its' position as it should. Phone was so messed up it would cut your hands if you ran your fingers across it. Anyways, I was impressed.

I like my Pixel phones, this phone is great and like I said I'm very impressed with the design. No way I'm going to pay $650 to upgrade though.

Guys be wary of you have T-Mobile. The best buy "unlocked" version does not include T-Mobile as a supported carrier. I believe the Google Store version of the unlocked pixel8/8pro DO support T-Mobile, but not as good of a deal as best buy with the trade-in
Source? Thank you!

They won't drop the price of the 7a for a while, probably not until January or February. The next gen phone in it's line must be announced or coming, which it hasn't (8a). It's all just speculation at this point in time, just like everyone was speculating about the 8 after the 7a was released in May. While this statement fails the eye test with the 7/7Pro (it hasn't yet received a discount), it will probably see it's discount come for BF and be permanent.
