A no brainer purchase

Verified Purchase:Yes
You’re looking to get into the world of Google assistant and the connected home stuff to Google then this is a no-brainer first purchase. It’s small and compact and has all the features that the full-size products hat. The only negative is that the speaker isn’t that wonderful. Works great as a desk or a next your bed but don’t expect to be able to hear it across the room.

Great value

Verified Purchase:Yes
This is actually a great value for what it is. I’ve looked at a lot of other docs or dongle‘s that have less functionality and cost the same or more. That being said the thing really isn’t that easy to carry around with you. It’s not as big as I feared it would be but it’s still bigger than I would like. But it has every connection on at that I could possibly want. I bought it to use with my Pixelbook Chromebook which only has USB type C connectors on it. It works like a charm The only negative that I can see other than the bulky size is the fact that when you hook it up it automatically disables the Pixelbooks onboard speakers assuming that you are going to want to use speakers that are plugged into the dock itself. I wish it would check to make sure that there is indeed a set of speakers plugged into the dock before it does that. Other than that it’s a great value.

Screen issues overblown
on January 20, 2018
Posted by: TimRyberg
from Duluth, MN
Verified Purchase:Yes
If you want a stock android experience with upgrades directly from Google+ this is the phone to buy. Don’t waste your time on the smaller one with a much smaller screen and battery. You will regret it later if you do. Much has been said about the screen issues that this phone supposedly has. It’s a legitimate issue but most people don’t spend their time obsessing over a tiny amount of blue tint or possible screen burn in on the part of the screen you don’t really look at anyway. For what it’s worth I haven’t seen any screen burning since I bought this thing in December.

Meh upgrade
on January 20, 2018
Posted by: TimRyberg
from Duluth, MN
Verified Purchase:Yes
This version is kind of a meh upgrade from last year’s. It’s a new processor it’s a dual camera but a smaller battery. I’m all in on Moto mods so I’m using the old phone on Wi-Fi to use some of the mart at home. Really the only reason that I upgraded to this year’s version is the fact that it has more onboard storage. I was actually planning on passing this one up.

Gimmicky.

Verified Purchase:Yes
So Apple finally decided to redesign the iPhone and this is the result. I give them props for the overall look at the phone as well as finally upgrading the screen technology and adding wireless charging. However the gestures are not intuitive and face ID does not work nearly as well as they say it does unless you disable The required attention feature which makes the phone less secure. With this feature turned on it only works one in every five or six trials for me. It was a massive mistake for them to illuminate touch ID. If they were going to go all screen on the front that’s fine. But they should have put a fingerprint reader on the back of the phone like the rest of the industry. Hopefully they will rectify this in the second generation next year.

Although it undoubtedly goes without saying at this late date, the original Star Trek is the most popular and influential science fiction series ever seen on American network television--and as far as many people are concerned, it remains absolutely the best TV series of any kind. The weekly, hour-long Star Trek was conceived as "Wagon Train in outer space" by its creator, Gene Roddenberry, who had long labored in the TV-western mills before his pet project made its NBC debut on September 8, 1966. Describing space as "the final frontier" in the opening narration, Captain James T. Kirk (William Shatner), commander of the starship U.S.S. Enterprise, informed the viewer that his vessel's five-year mission was to "seek out new life forms and new civilizations", and "to boldly go where no man has gone before." The series was set in the 23rd century, a time in which most of the various intergalactic civilizations (with the notable exception of the warlike Klingons!) had forged a lasting peace and formed the United Federation of Planets, for whom the Enterprise was the flagship. While the heroic, self-sacrificing Kirk was the leading character and primary plot motivator, the series' most famous character was the Enterprise's pointy-eared first officer/science officer Mr. Spock (Leonard Nimoy). Born on the planet Vulcan and the product of a Vulcanian father and human mother, Mr. Spock was cool, unflappable, unemotional, meticulously logical--and to thousands upon thousands of female Star Trek enthusiasts, irresistible. Other members of the multiethnic crew included Dr. Leonard "Bones" McCoy (DeForest Kelley), the ship's short-tempered chief medical officer ("Dammit, Jim, I'm a doctor, not a mind-reader!"); chief engineer Montgomery "Scotty" Scott (James Doohan); Lt. Uhura (Nichelle Nichols), the African American communications officer; Lt. Sulu (George Takei), the Asian helmsman; nurse Christine Chapel (played by Majel Barrett, later Mrs. Gene Roddenberry); and, beginning in the second season, Russian-born ensign Pavel Chekov (Walter Koenig). Another principal character, Yeoman Janice Rand (Grace Lee Whitney), appeared sporadically during the first two seasons. Unlike so many other sci-fi/fantasy programs, Star Trek favored strong characterizations and solid story values over gadgetry and monsters: indeed, it was originally touted as "TV's first adult science fiction series." As such, the program attracted the best writers of the genre, among them Richard Matheson, Theodore Sturgeon, Robert Bloch, David Gerrold and Harlan Ellison, and the series' prolific story consultant, D.C. Fontana). Even so, there were still plenty of special photographic effects, which may seem a bit primitive when seen today but were sufficiently impressive to earn an Emmy award. The most memorable special effect was utilized whenever Kirk and his officers were "disintegrated" in order to be transported from the deck of the Enterprise to the surface of the planet of the week, and back again--inspiring the series' most famous catchphrase, "Beam me up, Scotty". While NBC has come in for its share of criticism for dictating budget cuts and production-staff changes that gradually eroded the series' quality (especially during its much-maligned third season), the network deserves credit for keeping Star Trek alive for three seasons and 79 episodes, despite mediocre ratings. It was only after its cancellation on September 2, 1969 and its move into off-network syndication that Star Trek began steadily building a huge audience above and beyond its core fan base of "Trekkers" (or "Trekkies", depending upon the fan's age and extent of enthusiasm). By the time the first Star Trek convention was held in 1972, the series' place in the Valhalla of TV classics was assured.

This is a great value for the price. You’ll get both the original and the redone special-effects on high-quality Blu-ray discs. The only negative here is that the packaging is kind of chintzy.

What do you recommend, google fi or Verizon for pixel 2 purchase?

That really depends on where you live and how much data you want to use. Google Fi is a great deal for people who don’t use a lot of data and live in places where T-Mobile and Sprint have excellent service. I’m in Duluth Minnesota and neither carrier has excellent service up here so for here it’s Verizon all the way. You really need to look at coverage for yourself and talk to your friends and neighbors and seek what they use because I can tell you from experience the T-Mobile coverage maps are not accurate at all. Fi is great if you travel internationally a lot or don’t use a lot of data because they only charge for what you use. Verizon has a much bigger network and I have count on one hand the number of times I’ve been places but I couldn’t use my Verizon phone. Yes it’s more expensive but you get what you pay for.

Can this phone crack?

Any phone can crack, especially in cold weather. But this phone does feel very durable. The one thing I will say though is that the reviews are right the screen is very very scratchy from more so than last year‘s.

Does the moto power pack external battery case fit the moto Z2 force?

Yes. All Moto Mods are compatible with the Z2 Force . The only ones that would be an issue with the ones that were actual cases since this phone is thinner than last year’s. The powerpack Mods just attached to the back the phone.

My husband and I both have iPhones on the same Verizon account. If I upgrade my iPhone 6 to the X, can we transfer his phone # and stored data from his iPhone 4 to my iPhone 6? Can BB help with this?

This is called a buddy upgrade and yes BestBuy should be able to help you with this. Be aware of the fact though that she will still need to pay the financing agreement on the line that you did the upgrade for. You would need to pay that off before you’re allowed to change phones or else you can call Verizon Customer Service and have them change the financing agreement to the proper line as long as that Line does not have its own financing agreement.

Yes it really was available today I ordered it. For a phone that seems to be so hard to get they certainly had them in stock. Perhaps that was just the 256 GB version.
