It's Apple all over again.
Why if it still works and does everything she need then why force her to a new phone. You are lucky she not one of those that needs the newest model of everything apple releases. O would still be using my Samsung Galaxy 5 if my sister-in-law didn't break it.This is the only real shot I have to convince my GF to upgrade from her worn out 4 year old Windows Phone, so let's all repeat this mantra:
* Please include headphone jack dongle Please include headphone jack dongle Please include headphone jack dongle *
Any girl that's not a complete shut in is going to have friends on social apps. Wphone is a dead platform and the apps are mostly abandonware.Why if it still works and does everything she need then why force her to a new phone.

Stick a new Android in her hand and she'll be in heaven.
I will say this, none of these "flagship" phones are worth a thousand bucks."Worn out" was a polite way of saying her phone is effectively dead. She loves the Windows Phone system, but her handset gets <8 hours of no-use battery in power savings mode (sealed battery of course), and since she's on Verizon, there hasn't been a new(er) option for her. To top it off, DPI is right, her apps are no longer being updated and the ones she needs just stopped working. I've been trying to get her on a new phone for awhile now, but it wasn't until the apps died that she agreed it was time. The Pixel 2 has a good chance of being her phone for the next 4 years if she likes it.
Work with Project Fi?
I assume so, it let me order a 2 and a 2 XL while signing up for Fi.
I was in the same boat too initially, then I sat down and thought about how much I actually use the headphone jack. Hardly ever. And a dongle is included for hardwire buds. I caved when I saw they would give me $410 back on my current phone.Why must Google copy stupid ideas ......no headphone jack equals a hard pass for me......now you are required to buy new headphones which are far more expensive than the wired ones I ALREADY HAVE.
Work with Project Fi?
Not only does it work with Project Fi, all PX2 models come with an embedded Project Fi eSim (even the Verizon ones).

Also, as an android fan, i will say, get her an iphone.
Buy her either a 6S or a 7, which are cheap used, since a lot of people are trying to get rid of them to get a 8.
Those devices are more than capable and have nothing to envy any of these new phones.
Personally, at those prices, I will never buy a new flagship phone, I'm buying used.
Fuck them.
Yea, I just looked into it myself.
Might be something worth doing. I like the Nexus 5X I've got but battery life is terrible... or Pokemon Go is just a battery killing monster.
It's the old Verizon model. Sim baked in to hardware, so instead of moving it to new devices, you have to call up or visit a website and switch devices on the carrier end.I'm not sure what that means. An eSim?

What's old is new again.
And what the hell are they doing to those iphones that are working so bad?$649 is right in her budget for a new phone, plus it has good long term support potential and she's considering moving to Fi (and a dongle). She spends enough time at work helping people troubleshoot their iPhones (senior IT helpdesk/system analyst) to know she'll never buy one.
