I've had my Motorola Nexus 6 for almost 2 years now and still love it with Android Nougat installed on it. Next phone I might switch too in the next year would be the Pixel, but that's way down the line.

If you order the Pixel now you get the VR headset free. It's usually 79$

I just bought the case for mine.

Ain't turning it in either. They can take this phone from my melting lithium-encrusted fingers if they want it back.

My thoughts as well...

If it wants to catch on fire, awesome. I'll throw it in my truck and let the thing go up in flames.

No. But you might be able to profit. My friend bought one on ebay for 600... this news broke.
. he contacted samsung, they asked where he got it from, they're still sending him $900... point being that samsung is refunding the price regardless of seller.
