Pixel 9 Fold Pro - Backordered on Day 1 with T-Mobile (US)

Woke up early today and the first thought through my head was … Hey, the Pixel 9 Fold Pro is going to be available today. So I jumped on the site and found it… backordered until mid October.

Anyone else able to get one on T-Mo or another service or are they backordered from Google themselves?

Please do not ever buy a phone from your carrier.

OZFive OP ,

I understand there are reasons not to buy a phone from a carrier. But when they give you $500 off, it’s a little hard to resist.

They’re not making a $500 donation, they’re just trading >$500 worth of value for something in return. What are the terms of this sale?

Do carriers still require a new two-year contract when you get a disocunted device from them?

That would be my guess. Basically extortion to lock you into their plans so they can just continue being shitty because they know you can’t afford to get out.

You could also just buy a Pixel 9 and save literally a thousand dollars…

They try, but nowadays you can have your new carrier buy you out!

It’s been possible to order pixel 9s for a couple weeks, hasn’t it? When I looked at one after the announcement, it was going to be here on release day. When I looked a few days later, it was going to be a couple more weeks.

I’m not surprised that they’re backordered for a while at this point.

OZFive OP ,

The non-folds have been available for weeks. The Fold just went live today with T-Mobile.

wccrawford ,

Ah, I see. Well, I’m a little surprised it’s backordered that far then.

For fun, I checked Fi… Oct 23-30 for me.

OZFive OP ,

Mine said the 16th.

I feel like it was not that long ago that 8's were finally widely available.
