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."

MKBHD gave Pixel 8/Pro pretty rave reviews. Said the higher cost was justified. CNET might be nitpicking, not sure.

Fortunately though, software issues can be fixed quickly with an update.

Yah I agree with this; appreciate the link.

Fortunately, I do think camera issues are usually the first aspects to get fixed.

I'm not holding out for the video enhancement feature that is supposed to come out in December.

This is also part of the reason why I'm trying to get every penny off the MSRP cost of the Pixel. I know what I'm buying and thus, know its value in 2 years time.

This deal is strangely specific. LMAO

I was excited at first since I have a 2016 era iPhone SE but I guess it doesn't qualify. Mad

Anyone know if the Pixel Buds Pro can be switched out for a different color?

Here is detailed steps for 2 phone at promo trade- Its Possible as provided by BB employee. Thanks to him for sharing entire process step by step.

1. Get 2 phone for trade in ( has to be different - i.e one iPhone and other Android) reason being both trade in generates different sku based on different phone and that is key. If u trade same platform phone twice sku are same and it will not work as only one coupon of same sku works.

2. First get both trade ins done ( 2 times you need to sign) make sure each trade in gives you bb gift card and single use coupon -total of coupon and gift card should ne equal to trade in value u see online.

3. When entering tradein if they say u will get just 200 or 300 ask them to apply promo code google that's the trick

4. Only select unlocked phone colour black ( e.g for blue their is restriction that u need verizon and if u take verizon thank watch promo not apply)

5. Make sure to get watch added in same order ( as unlike online watch doesn't get added automatically?- dont be fooled by bb employee tell
specifically to add watch)

6. Watch color only black make sure also its wifi else it will mess up entire order.


7. After seeing all good then only pay for remaining.

8. Coupon values - of both phones reduces price before tax so effectively u pay tax on net amount apart from gift cards.


In my example I traded p7 and ip11 and got 200 × 2 gift cards and 250 coupon for p7 and 300 coupons for ip11..so net transaction 999- 250-300 = 449+ tax on 449 is net amount - 200-200 gift card = so 49+tax on 449 is the payment amount.

Watch should show 349- 349 = 0.

Attached are snips of receipts which are important to check

FYI - BBs have already received all stock items in store but they will only sell and provide pickup after 12.

Please try tomorrow and day after as it will be last days of preorder.

Make most of deal - any questions welcome...
I feel stupid for still being confused.
So to do it this way I bring my pixel 4a and iPhone 3se to the store and do it all right there, nothing online beforehand?
And I can do it on the 12th as well?

I'm doing 8 Pro 256GB - Pro gets AI and more future proof plus pro camera settings and weird thermometer. 256gb worth the extra $60 since no SD slot.

Yes; this is what I would do. Ideally sooner than later. In fact, if you can, I would do it today even if they don't have devices available. At least you can get all the paperwork out of the way and have your phone ready for pickup on the 18th.
