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."

For those doing this in store, try reporting back on whether or not one can choose different color buds or watch for the freebie?

Been reported in other thread that you can't - but may be YMMV depending on store.

what is the confusion? bring the iphone 12 pro to best buy they will give you a total credit of $660 towards the Pixel 8 phone and you just pay the difference of $39 + tax. Ignore the details in my post, that is for people who like the gory details.
Okay yeah that's what I figured. So I can order it now and get 660 refunded back tomorrow to my credit card? Do they give tax back on the 660 as well? I RTFF and didn't find an answer one way or the other.

You don't get anything refunded doing it in store. The Google promotion is taken off the top instantly, so for me this was $699-$300=$399. The remaining balance is taxed, $399*1.075=$428.93. Then the trade-in-value is applied, $428.93-$160=$268.93. That is charged to you payment method.

Do Pixels get regular software updates like iPhones? My Samsung only had one software update in the last two years.
Yes, some time they sent out monthly.

I don't mean to be rude but that picture doesn't show me anything but a price paid. It doesn't show or explain how it arrived at that price. I defer to my previous statement, until proven otherwise, you can only trade-in a single phone to purchase the Pixel 8/8P. Any additional phone brought in to reduce the price of the invoice is simply sold to BB straight up. There is no "stacking" trade-ins. I'm not calling anyone claiming that a liar, I'm just asking for proof. Kudos to anyone who can manage to get 2x Google discounts applied for a single Pixel purchase, I envy thee.

Ok, when I make the calculations, Pixel 8 Pro 256 GB comes as $935 after adding taxes. Plus free Google Watch.
So;
1,059 - 460 + 150 + 87 + 12 = 935 USD
87 and 12 are taxes added for iphone and pixel.

Well, I am not sure If this phone worth really 935 after all. Of course free watch If you can sell for 200, maybe comes as 735 but all the hassle... Still 300 less but...
Also, phone itself is not even out and no real review is published yet. I was waiting for new Samsung but I thought this deal would change my mind... Not sure..
I don't think 128 gb option should be an option for ANYone in this day and age...
I'm also factoring in the value of my current phone that I'll be selling since I view this as as an upgrade to my P7.

So, for the P8P 256Gb, it's $1122 (incl. taxes) - $460 + $157 - $200 (est. watch value which I'll be selling) - $300 (selling my P7 in excellent condition) = $319. Both resell values are just conservative guesstimates. Not bad for an upgrade from P7 to P8P. I am content with my P7, but I want a bigger/better screen and a telephoto camera (miss it on the P7).

Edit: Forgot the 5% on Chase Freedom/Paypal. That's additional $33 in savings. So, roughly a $300 upgrade with some legwork.

I hear you. So far I've not seen a conclusive evidence as well.
But couple of folks have claimed it.

30% of this thread is people claiming (without providing solid evidence) that they traded in multiple pones withe enhanced TIVs. The other 40%, is people arguing with them.

One pic will end the discussion. Somewhat though as we know anything Best Buy is YMMV. What one rep was able to do is not always what another will be able or willing to do.
