Welp, need a new phone now. Gotta figure out what I want to do...It looks like I could pay fricking $30/month for the new Pixel or buy it outright with a 2 year contract for $450. Of course that would be with Verizon's stuff in it.

Or I could buy a Pixel 2 XL (what I had and no longer have) unlocked on ebay for under $250, and hold onto it for a year until the 5 goes on Black Friday sale.

Contracts are for plebs, buy a unlocked uncarriered phone outright :)

I'm on my family's business contract. What are people paying for unlimited data per month? Mine is $45.

About that
I really don't see myself leaving, because (1) Verizon seems to have the best coverage. Aside from some very rural areas in Southeast Ohio, weirdly. and (2) am I really going to get anything significantly better for a single line of service?

All depends on what you have available and coverage we have our carrier based on coverage at various military bases in the United States, AT&T was best, Verizon does a no contract but not likely cheaper solo vs family bundle been years since I have looked into it.

Yeah, the only time I really struggle is at work sometimes...but that's just the building blocking pretty much everything in spots.

I resisted the urge to get the latest and greatest. Went with the Pixel 3 XL

I like mine :D i am not sure the 4 is really justified the significant price difference since they dropped the price on the 3/XL's

It was about $275 cheaper. I could have just stick it out a month, and probably got the 4 for almost the same price (or the 3 cheaper), but my backup phone suuuuuuuuuucks.

Pretty sure that is Andromeda in that first picture if you look hard enough.
