I happily spent the $499 on my 64GB Nexus 6P awhile back, and I really love this phone. Now do I want to spend another $800+ to get a slightly better Nexus phone in this new Pixel XL ? Not really, as I don't think that new $800 phone will be radically different and a major upgrade over my current 6P running 7.0. Yeah the Pixel XL is a cool phone, but is it $800 better than my 6P ? In my opinion no way.
Now if your rocking an older phone like the Motorola Nexus 6 or some Note 4 or something, then yeah the Pixel XL is a fantastic upgrade path.
And the carrier thing, since I'm already on JoD, I don't want to fiance this Pixel through Google, as that then defeats the purpose of me being on JoD with T-Mobile. I may just get of JoD next year altogether though, as it's looking like that's only good for three types of phones now, iPhone, Galaxy, and LG. Don't ever see a Pixel phone coming to other carriers, but who knows if it's on Verizon now, I could see them eventually moving it to other carriers possibly.
Right now, my next phone, might be the iPhone 7 Plus on T-Mobile's JoD program once a Jailbreak is out.
