are non carrier phones not available in USA ? boggle my mind to buy a phone in 2023 with a carrier instead of just paying the phone in full like we do in Europe
Sure they are - you can buy directly from Google if you want. Phones from carriers are subsidized / free to hook you into a contract, but you can also just buy a phone and pop your SIM card into it.
I just learned the hard way that getting a p7 via carrier means it can’t be bootloaded, which means I can’t install grapheneOS on it. They gave me $800 off the phone if I bought through them, which was a nice discount, but it still sucks because I can’t do what I want on the hardware. Lesson learned for next time.
I bought mine non-carrier, but update timing, I’ve found, is controlled by my carrier since it was activated on their service.
