The misinformation I received at Verizon told me enough. Their representative insisted the pixel could only be used on Vzw, regardless of where it was purchased. Now im crossing my fingers waiting on the email to get one on the way from google.My understanding is that the Verizon version has the same carrier compatibility as the Google one. After all, you can use the Google one on Verizon and the Verizon one on Fi, AT&T, T-Mobile, or any other GSM carrier.
That said, the update question remains to be answered. Verizon promises that they'll release updates at the same time as Google - but anyone who owned a CDMA Galaxy Nexus will rightly doubt that promise. And we really don't know how updates will be handled for a Verizon model used on another network.
There are just way too many questions, caveats, and concerns with the Verizon Pixel. Just buy from Google and avoid that potential trouble.
The hinging factor there is that best buy isn't offering the 128gb last time I checked.This has been a very good question. The reason is right now I believe Best Buy is taking roughly 20 dollars off the cost of the device, PLUS 100 Best Buy gift card AND a Google Chromecast. All that has got to be worth it right? I have read Verizon will be pushing out the updates the same day Google releases them. What are your thoughts on that, would a gift card and Chromcast be appealing to you. I mean even if you didn't want that you would still be able to sell them to get it least a little money towards all that cash for the Pixel.
It is. They're acting as a Verizon reseller.Also the best buy version maybe the same as th3 Verizon version in it being locked down.
Thanks for letting us know. Please do report back once the first updates start rolling out - I'm really curious to see how the VZW Pixel updates will be handled when no longer on their network.I bought an XL at Verizon. I signed up for prepaid took it to Metropcs and swapped it with my 6p. The phone works great. No problems. Cancelling the Verizon plan today.

Might have been an issue with availability. Verizon versions seemed to be easier to purchase than the Google Play ones.Awesome to hear! Why buy it from Verizon if you were going to cancel anyway?
