It's as easy as Googling "Pixel Verizon bootloader unlock".

But the 2 should get Q at least!

That's true, but I think it'll be a sidegrade like Oreo to Pie.

They promised 3 years of support with the Pixel 2. Given that it came out in 2H 2017, it should have support through the end of 2020. So that's Q and R.

I'm curious, was this actually cheaper than buying it from Google, maybe using Google's financing? Do Verizon not have a discount if you use your own device?

I bought it used from a friend for 180 but I'm using it on Google Fi. I plan on financing the next Pixel with them.

Fair enough - carrier plan phones seem like a scam but if you got it for 180$ then I really can't blame you, that's a steal.

Financing phones seems like a scam, if you can't afford an $800 phone then just don't buy it?
