If you're looking to buy a P9, definitely do so at Best Buy over Google store:

1. BB GC has more flexibility vs. Google Store credit
2. BB will deduct taxes off your trade = more saving
3. Trade instore = no headache vs. send in trade to Google's 3rd party
4. Easy return/replacement should there be some defects. Google CS is horrid.

Check the trade in values against the Google Store. Best Buy has a better trade in for the 6a but Google a better one for the 8.

Though a $100 Best Buy gift card is better for most people than a $100 Google Store credit, so that's a factor too.

lol, my whole family uses iPhones.

I'm hoping to retain FaceTime and iMessage with the workarounds. If not, I may have to switch back

Oh I didn't order - I might skip this year. Apologies if I had misinformation but I've done this for the 6, 7 and 8 so I assumed it was the same on the 9. Someone else said the 9 is OOS right now so that may be the reason.
Gotcha, thanks!
Once I have my new Pixel 9 Pro, I will still try to go in-store to trade in my iphone 12 Pro. Think they will allow that?

Comming soon. Deal Dead or simply OOS?
flippers have been making lots of accounts and buying out the iPhone 12 and 12 pro to resell.
they jacked the price of iPhone 12 to likely 250-300 dollars by now while I ordered my metro PCS deal because it takes more work and you need phone numbers it increases their cost so they decline to do it.

So they buy over priced iPhone 12 now to do this deal as they want to scalp for a few hundred per phone they expect to make 500 per phone but will really make initially 300 and lucky ones 400 first few days then slowly goes to 200 and then 100 profit.

when pixel 9 pro goes to 200 profit its now just the gift card value and those are not worth as much at 150-175 worth.
so then they start wasting time and money doing this deal. when they could work for a few hours doing a real job and make the same amount.

also part of the reason for inflation = the wall street types that don't wanna work but instead steal then blame others for inflation when its them.

Is it worth getting this vs waiting to see what the Samsung S25s are going to have?

Been with samsung from S2s. But wondering if clean android is going to be that much better.

I have a samsung watch and buds so wondering if they will all work seamlessly, as I have heard there are some compatibility issues between them.

iphone 12 from metro is probably best bet, goes in and out of stock. steps:
1. Get a google voice number: https://voice.google.com/
2. Set pin and unlock phone number for port $3. https://support.google.com/voice/...NA#xferout [google.com]
3. purchase the iphone 12 from metro, port in. sign up for $70 plan https://www.metrobyt-mobile.com/c...-iphone-12 [metrobyt-mobile.com]
4. purchase pixel 9, trade in select t-mobile black iphone 12, 64gb. good condition.

Profit. Out of pocket ~$230 +- and a free $100 giftcard.

For me, I will sell my pixel 9 for 300 after fees and shipping. walk away net positive.
Where do you guys sell phones? Which is the best place for a hassle free sale? I have a few Pixel phones lying around for which I have no use. Thanks.

Quick question. Could you turn in an iPhone 12 for the $799 credit and pre-order the Pixel for free (+$100 gift card) and then return the Pixel for $799 Best Buy in-store credit if you don't want the Pixel?
Before yes, but now you can't.

For an average user who does text, call, web surf, YouTube…is the P9 worth the jump from 12? I've heard overheating issues, weak battery, and lackluster CPU with G series compared to snapdragon.
The 16 appears like another incremental upgrade…maybe just hang on to the 12 as I've had 0 complaints except maybe battery.

Quote from PowerfulName4771 :
Anyone know about the charge on credit card when ordering online for store pickup?
Is this a pending charge and will be only charged when the item is picked up? Or is this charged now and the trade in refund is applied during pick up time?

What if we decide, not to pick the item up - will best buy refund the credit card charge immediately?
It'll take them a couple of days to process the refund.

My phone 12 is unlocked (bought it used) and no carrier is listed. Im on mint mobile, so i just selected t-mobile. Hope I dont get screwed on the trade in.
