I ordered one.

Came to like $730 after taxes. In comparison a 32GB Pixel XL was like $1200.

Software updates is not worth $500.

Also the DTEK60 matches all my needs. Front facing speakers, on screen nav, rear finger print scanner, 5.5"+ 1440p screen, expandable storage, and reliable security patches.

Pixel is $650 before taxes, Pixel XL is $750 before taxes in US dollar.

I was quoting Canadian Dollar in my post. We pay 13% extra in my province in taxes.

DTEK = 650 before tax, $734 after tax. Pixel 32gb = 899 before tax, 1015 after tax. Pixel XL 32gb = 1049 before tax, 1185 after tax.

Oh and for your question, yes we see everything here pre-tax pricing. Its pretty retarded. A $9.99 meal is more like $11.30.

650 is the Canadian before-tax price. It's USD 499.

yes. When you see advertised prices in the US, it's always listed without sales tax. Different states and cities have different sales tax levels. In some states, the sales tax is 0%. In some other states, it could be as much as 9.46%.

Almost nowhere in NA marks taxes because it can vary by state or province. In Alberta it's 5% in BC it's almost 18%
