Phones are out.

I caved and bought the Pixel 2 XL 64GB Just Black version. Trading in my Pixel XL 128GB for it
Without the $410 trade in credit - I wouldn't have upgraded. 2 front firing speakers and IP67 water-proofing was a major selling point for me.

So $410 trade in credit through Google for existing pixel users and $325 back on T-Mobile. Can cancel the new line after the prepaid MasterCard ships
I've cancelled my pixel 2 order. Having second thoughts, not sure it's worth the upgrade from the pixel XL. Gonna have to mull this over for a few days.
Pulled the trigger on a Pixel 2. I keep phones a long time, so 3 years of OS updates is a big plus.
It's 2 years of OS upgrades, 3 years of security upgrades.
and no headphone jack despite them making PHUN of apple for removing it
Pixel 2 sales page: "Pixel’s software and security updates for three years"
Water resistance and decent front-facing stereo speakers > built-in headphone jack. Is it really that difficult to slap a USB-C dongle on your 3.5mm headphones?
