How's that going??Welp... Finally got a sim card shoved into this device
Phone hasn't exploded so good I guess
It's actually the extra att line we had (sim was in my Nexus 6 for a bit) I yanked the card for a few months since the line kept getting spam calls and texts.
At least now if I feel a bit ornery I can call screen them
This line is basically just for data. Att don't seem to work too good inside of buildings around here
Nice! I just found a sweet Swappa deal on a 3XL 128gb. So I'll be rocking it later this week!Phone hasn't exploded so good I guess

ive been watching those on swappa but havent seen one in black with google perfered care
Yes! I didn't bother with preferred care but the value is pretty amazing considering I paid $585 and I would have paid $1050 brand new on Google Store. And throw in free cases.
Hope you get yours back soon! Sounds like you had a fun issue with Google.sounds like a great deal to me
I got it back Friday and restored everything from Google cloud. I really enjoy the Pixel 3 XL...it has become my daily driver. I love the overall great user experience with it. I love the blend of hardware and software.
So much so that I sold my S10 plus and only have the P3 XL and Xs Max at the moment
Nice!!! Yeah it's crazy because the S10+ is better in so many ways, but the way the Pixel works in every day life is unbelievable. Like the Now Playing feature and call screening!I got it back Friday and restored everything from Google cloud. I really enjoy the Pixel 3 XL...it has become my daily driver.

yes! It is all the little things it does that add to me. the S10 has better specs in a lot of ways and is a great phone not gonna lie.
I think the Pixel 3 is more than just the sum of it's parts and specs. It provides a great overall user experience imho.

That's a newer feature. Can't remember when it started.
Thanks. Definitely a neat feature to have the history saved.
ive had applecare+ save me a few times so i google preferred care is appealing to me
thats not a bad price at all
Duuuuuuude, I can’t keep up with you! Lol!
I love my Samsung for the wide angle lens and the headphone jack. I’d miss both of those way too much if I were to stop carrying my Sammy. But man, I can’t use it as a phone now because I’m paranoid my ear is going to go web surfing again. Damn!
So maybe I’ll stick the sim back in my Pixel 3XL, since the Samsung can still stream audio on my home WiFi and still take photos with or without a SIM card in it. I don’t know what I’m going to do. I don’t feel like switching it up just yet. I know why you feel the way you do about your Pixel, though. I do, too. But I’m hoping against hope for a wide angle lens on the 4. Not likely, I know. Leaks and rumors just aren’t rolling that way.
By the way, my 3XL has been nekkid for months now. I have great cases for it, but there’s something about it that makes me comfortable having it go without a case at home.
I popped my SIM back into my 3XL from my XS over the long weekend for a vacation out in NYC. I'm not a photo buff at all but man, this camera is just so nice as you all know. The wide angle selfie cam is so useful and I didn't appreciate it before. I still get an issue whenever I travel outside of my time zone, where there is no weather displayed on my home screen. It only works when I'm back at home. I've adjusted / reset every setting I can think of, including network and location settings, no luck. It is so annoying. Weather did not show at all for me for the whole weekend until I arrived back home last night.
Have the leaks suggested the probable second lens isn't going to be wide angle? I haven't seen anything that says wide or zoom.Duuuuuuude, I can’t keep up with you! Lol!

It looks like the Pixel 3 and 3 XL are $200 off again at the Google Store (at least in the US) for those of you on the fence
