Get whatever phone you want right now and then return it within the two week period that Verizon lets you return things without a fee and just get the Note 9?

I just can't make myself spend that much on a phone, I ended up getting a 250 dollar Huwai phone from Amazon. I hope it's not shit.

They say they are $300 headphones you get for free, but who knows. And you can get both offers for $99 if you want.
Pre-ordered mine already, as Samsung was also giving me $300 trade-in for my S7 Edge. Enrolled in their Samsung Upgrade program.

It looks like the Pixel's notch is smaller lengthwise but deeper heightwise than the iPX, so it sticks out more, IMO. The X's notch looks a bit more tapered and integrated into the body. Notches in general look terribad, but yeah, this is really ghastly.

I can't believe people actually copied Apple's fucking stupid notch. I blame websites like The Verge for talking way too much about phones and making people give a shit about things that they should not give a shit about. If it wasn't for the tech press talking about things like which phone has .1 inches less bezel or is 2% thinner, no one would even notice this dumb shit, let alone make purchasing decisions based on it.

In other news: I went from a G4 to an iPhone SE recently. Pleasantly surprised how seamless the transition was, and you can't beat $150.

Just watched a video that said there isn't going to be bloatware on the Note 9! Not sure how true that is. When I get mine, I'll see how much Verizon stuff there is. For my S7, I had to disable the Verizon Cloud app, because it was just non-stop doing shit that was draining battery and data bad.

On project fi so limited options. Just stood up in a sleepy stupor and ended up somehow standing on a cloth and going the opposite direction and falling on my Nexus 6p. Actually really likes the phone and planned on keeping it awhile, but that's over.
My options are limited on fi I think. I can get a pixel 2xl for $649. Anything better I should look at?

Wait for Pixel 3?
Had the Note 9 for a week now, and it's pretty amazing. Everything is so snappy. My only problem is, despite it having Gorilla glass, I set it on something, and I've got a few scratches on it the front glass. No idea how that even happens. Given it's less than 15 days, I have the option to return it, and buy another one, but I don't trust Samsung not to fuck up my trade in of my S7.

They have more options now. In the Fi app, go in to manage plan and hit add new device to see the options. Moto G6 and X4 and the LG V35 ThinQ and G7 ThinQ are options now.

Why not? What other piece of anything, besides your bed, do you use more? I use my phone more than my PC, so why not?
I spend big on my phone and bed mattress!

2 friends of mine have had the Moto X4 for several months now and they've been quite happy with it. They don't demand a lot from their phones though.

Just not worth it to me. I use my phone a lot less since working in the govt too.
