Looks like it is cheaper if buy direct from google and use forwarder. The estimated shipping+tax for Google Pixel 2 64GB:

Add in rm106 for sirim and another 6% GST based on phone value and courier charges

GST is inclusive when use forwarder. Bought electronic items once and pay tax in advance. So you don't have to worry about import tax and gst when courier arrive to your doorstep . Add SIRIM fees, still inline with the rest of bulk sellers, who don't provide any personal warranty. Only thing is, dealing with SIRIM may be a hassle.

Anyone here have Kinda Blue Pixel 2? If yes, is your unit from Verizon?

Just want to check since Kinda Blue can only be purchase from Verizon at this moment. And any issue when using other carrier.

U mean bootloader can't be unlocked? Cuz I'm amazed If Verizon sets are unlocked. I did notice theres a number of users not rooting so there should be good demands for those non unlockable models.

edited. Bootloader is locked what i meant. doh.gif
Not plan on rooting or unlock the bootloader, but on extreme cases, unlock bootloader can be a savior.

Kinda Blue is Verizon Exclusive right?

Somewhat in US, you cannot find any Kinda Blue non verizon. But if you switch store from US to Canada, UK etc, you can find them unlock.

u all r getting the smaller pixel 2 or the pixel 2 xl? i'm still undecided!!! prefer smaller ones but since not changing phone for a long time.....just worried the pixel 2 will be so outdated later...but pixel 2 xl is like....too huge for one-handed usage but comes with a more 'modern' outlook ....not sure if all apps gonna be 2:1 as standard in near future

i would say, it will get outdated very quickly, only because of other phone are bezel less. For me, it is not a deal breaker. It is still the superior phone than other android. That's all you need to know.

Those who wants to buy Official Goole Pixel 2 fabric case, buy from Ebay. Cheaper than techbug.
