Looking to buy a new Pixel phone (screw google, but I want Graphene and there aren't many options for privacy with phones), but want to try and purchase from a Canadian seller. Currently my main option appears to be BestBuy but I'd like to avoid them if possible

List of vendors I know but seemingly don't carry phones: ShopRBC, Memory Express, Canada Computers

I think I might follow suit. Will keep watching for updates on this post.

You should; grapheneOS is a lifechanging breath of fresh air after living with a normal smartphone spying on you for so many years 👍

I'd check the refurbished stores like secondcell.ca, reebelo.ca, mobileklinik.ca etc

Used? Facebook marketplace, craigslist/kijiji (are either of those still a thing?)

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 days ago

Yes they are still a thing. I've never even used Facebook marketplace. Can't wait for that one to die out.

Don't buy the Pixel 8. There is an issue with the screens where you get a hot row.

my plan was to get the 9a seeing as it's now released I believe. seems to be a pretty great price spec wise.

never heard of them before and sadly don't think I have one local

Maybe try Tbooth Wireless? I did a quick search on Wikipedia, and seems the company that owns WirelessWave also owns that store franchise as well.

Holding company (Glentel) is Canadian, and going further, they're jointly owned by Bell and Rogers.
