Trying to find out about the 6pro from the Chat on the Tmobile app. Haven’t got through to anyone yet.  Google was suppose to partner with Tmobile back in March and then all of sudden the pixel line disappeared. 

I never thought of doing this and I'm going to contact them in a little bit just to see what answers I can get. Which once I'm done doing that, I will let you know what happened.

then again their iphone 13 pre order thread only came out a couple days before the actual pre order..so its still a possibility..just wont hear anything info wise until then.

Also I do know of other devices that have been released in the past that ended up having their preorders start right when they're event was finished. This could be the same thing that they're doing with the Pixel 6. I just want to know if anyone to just give me a heads up of T-Mobile being an official branded carrier now, or am I just going to have to wait on to the event on the 19th?

Yeah I tried to ask through the Chat on Tmobile app and  didn’t really get an answer. It seemed like the associate was more interested in pushing the Iphone or android

I've been with T-Mobile 13+ years and I can say that if they try to push another device on you when asking for a specific phone release that means that they're not going to have the Pixel 6. Which please don't take this as a final set in stone answer, this is just my past experience and could've changed.

you would have to cross check which bands it covers and or doesnt cover..not to sure i have come across any of the Pixel lines that couldnt be used through TMO.

Well I have done some research into bands and I'm getting some really weird answers which doesn't make me feel comfortable getting an unlocked version. Supposedly the band's match T-Mobile's network and it's supported, but many Pixel users have been complaining that they're getting kbps speeds. Which is what happened to me years ago on an unlocked iPhone on T-Mobile's network before they were officially available on T-Mobile's Network. So I'm not going to spend all that money on the Pro only for it not to work and then I would have to get another T-Mobile branded device or I would have to go back to my device that I have now.

It's not available for pre-order yet, anywhere. That (probably) won't occur until next Tuesday which is when Google officially unveils the device, even though Google has pretty much shown us everything about it already.

Thank you for telling me this, but yes I already know all of this and I mentioned this in the original post. All I was asking is if anybody knows if it's going to be available for T-Mobile on the 19th. The reason I ask is because T-Mobile doesn't have any Pixel phone except the Pixel 4A and not even the Pixel 5.

This in response to the other poster who wondered why they didn't have a pre-order page live yet. My answer: it's because there are no pre-orders live yet in any place, including T-Mobile. 

That said, they are already putting screen protectors for the devices in the stores so it's not a matter of whether they will sell it, but when. The consensus seems to be that it will be unveiled on the 19th with preorders going live that day, and the device actually being available in hand two weeks later.

Do you loose anything coveragewise from Tmobile when using a phone you purchase elsewhere or from the manufacture direct?  I know it wouldn’t be insured but I can get that from Google. Anything else I would be missing?

you would think they would have announced its upcoming arrival like they do with for example the Iphone 13 launch/pre order page though.

Google is having an event on the 19th at 10AM PT/1PM ET, and then after that I believe on the 19th is when the phones are going to be available for preorder. The only thing is I would like to know if anybody happens to know in advance before the 19th, if T-Mobile is going to have the phone. The reason I ask is because T-Mobile only has the Pixel 4A and not even the 5 and I also don't believe they carried any other Google pixel phone before that. To me Google and T-Mobile have been very distant with each other even after making the partnership back in March.

 

Which T-Mobile has a blog post on their official website stating that they're going to support future Pixel phones and Google devices along with making Google messages the default messaging app across T-Mobile. Also I heard that T-Mobile entered a new partnership  with Google back in March I believe and usually that indicates that 99.9% of the time they're going to get the new Google devices as well.

 

So the only thing that I can assume out of all this is that T-Mobile is going to get every new Pixel from the 6 here on out. Which obviously that's not a concrete definite factual answer in any capacity lol.

For what it's worth, I'm currently using an unlocked Pixel 5 that I purchased from Best Buy, and I'm getting 5G speeds of 300-600 Mbps down. This is in the Houston area. 

I asked my local retailer when they'd have the 6 in stock, but he said they wouldn't know for another week or so. This tells me they will be carrying it, since he didn't say they didn't know if they'd have it.
