So my Verizon LG G3 shit the bed and just boots to a blue screen (when it decides to boot at all) Just happened randomly a couple weeks back while the phone was in my pocket. Doing a little research and it seems like a somewhat common problem, and it looks like no one has found a fix. Neither Verizon or LG want to replace the phone for free since it is out of the 1 year warranty. I think it's pretty garbage they sell me a phone with a two year contract that doesn't even last two years, but what are you gonna do. Anyways my two year contract is up in July, and my only option with Verizon seems to be buying a full price phone whether it's through them or getting something like a Nexus. I'm using my old Galaxy S3 in the meantime, and was hoping to be able to use it until July but it's so damn slow...
I was thinking about getting a Nexus 6P and just using it with Verizon until July and then figuring out what I want to do after that. But now with this Project Fi 5X deal, I'm wondering if it's possible to buy the phone with Fi for a month to get the deal, cancel the service, use the phone with Verizon until July, then switch back to Fi and transfer my phone number along with it.
My only real gripe with the 5X is the 32gb max storage with no SD card support. I realize the 6P doesn't have SD card support either, but at least it has a 64gb or 128gb option. Besides that is the 6P much better than the 5X? If so, I'd probably think about just getting that instead and not messing with the 5X deal.
