IMO a great decision. I always buy the Google branded smart phone starting with the HTC Dream. They don't come with the "bloatware" of other Android phones such as Samsung and they always get their updates first. My current phone is Pixel 5 and will hold on to it until it won't be able to support the latest version of Android.A smartphone that folds like a legacy flip-phone. I'm not feeling it. I'm considering a couple of Pixel 7's for me and the wife.
Yes, it was Verizon.the $299 is with a contract
