Sure did, flipped it for $200, you want the sale invoice?
Well...that is your fault, and only hurts your credibility, doesn't it? The phone is worth way more than $200. I would advertise that.
I truly dislike Samsung as a copy, due to the hell they put me through returning a Note 8 I purchased from them. It took 4 months, and hours upon hours of infuriating interactions with customer service. Once I got the attorney general's office involved, they eventually refunded me my money.
But, I would be a liar if I said that phone wasn't a great phone. It just didn't work, unlocked, very well with my carrier, and I am not willing to buy a phone from a carrier store. But the phone itself was a splendid phone. Great screen, great feel in the hand, the camera was fantastic, the spen useful, and the mutlitasking is better than my current iPhone X (which is probably my favorite phone ever).
I think the Pixel phone is the best android experience, and I really hope Google ups their game this next round, and doesn't let us down in one particular area, like the screen on the XL2. The screen isn't a deal breaker, my wife loves it, but it is behind the competition.
I love my iPhone X. It's super reliable, its productive thanks to 3rd party apps like fantastical, it's a beautiful phone, the screen and camera are gorgeous...but most of all it works with my Apple watch. The Apple watch is what has ingrained me in the Apple eco-system, for now. I have other ios products, but the Apple watch is what keeps me. So, until there is a good level alternative (I have tried the gears 3 in the past, owned it for a few months, but didn't like it nearly as much), I am likely to stay with iOS.
But if google releases a good watch, I am likely to give the Pixel a try again, if the hardware is up to par. I heavily use google services, and Android just does that a little bit better. But, if I never leave iOS, I will still be happy with it. My phone has become a productivity device, and extension of my professional life. I used to have time to customize, root, etc. Now, my phone is essential to my work life, home life, and fitness. That is why the Apple watch ties me in, because otherwise, a Pixel running android is a bit more productive, in some ways.
