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."

Tried to convince my wife to trade in her iPhone 13 mini. With the trade in credit of $620 and free Pixel Buds Pro, I argued it's crazy good deal! But No way she will give up the iPhone 13 mini for the Pixel.

This kinda launch deal explains the build quality of pixel phones......
It's weird because I don't think cost is a big concern for Google. They are losing billions each year on their hardware division. If the rumors are to be believed, Google is prioritizing Pixel's with more software features at the expense of stock Android that they give their other hardware partners.

Google is trying to make an ecosystem play. They very much want to lure away iPhone users. But I think the goal is to get Tensor chips in the hands of more people. Then release more and more AI/ML features that require Tensor chips so there will be a stronger and stronger desire to have Pixel phones for all the cool AI/ML features you can only get there.

This is correct. As it stands currently:

+699 Pixel 8 + tax = $770 (in CA)
+ $150 iPhone SE Gen 3 + $25 (taxes and phone related fees) = $175 + Pixel 8 = $945 total
- $460 refund = $485
- $100 earbuds resale (originally $200) EQUALS
$385 after all is said and done for a Pixel 8.

Is it worth it?

Yep, because then I can sell my Pixel 7 for $350+ on Swappa.com. It's a whole process, but very small hassle to get the latest device for next to nothing.

Idk, that is what I'm wondering. So if you trade it in and 2 weeks later they don't accept the locked iPhone, they keep it and charge you the difference? That seems pretty risky.

Hope it works out for you. I don't think you'll get $350 for Pixel 7 on Swappa... the good condition ones are going for $320 it looks like.

Also; they're relatively cheaper on Craigslist (at least here in Los Angeles).

The math doesn't add up…

Google pixel $699 + taxes 40ish = $739 - trade in credit $460, but you do pay about $155 for iPhone SE at Walmart so technically you pay about $434 after including what you paid for the SE
You only pay tax on $239. Best Buy removes the taxes on the $460 when you do the trade in at the store. Ive done these deals multiple times in the past. This is how it works.

Thank you! I'm wondering if it's worth waiting for Black Friday considering I don't care for the watch or the buds…

Which phones did you usually buy to trade in to Best Buy? All the ones listed on Walmart aren't exactly what Best Buy is expecting as the wireless service plans only piggy back off the major network providers.
