#32Poor form from google though. Obviously that country is not high on the bug list.

#33Can someone explain why? Not technically but politically why this would be necessary? Sri Lankan laws? Geo restricted sale strategy?

#34Why does Google support consist of clueless 'product experts' who offer no support at all, ever? I've never seen a more useless support channel, it's insulting. I'd honestly rather them just say they offer no support at all, as it would save a lot of time and frustration.
You should see the Microsoft forums then. User: Hey guys I get error 2389042 when using Windows Update. Pradeep Chadurniyaad: I'm here to help you sir. Have you tried to format Windows?

#35If that's real, that is insane. Why buy a pixel? You have to go out of your way to develop this feature too? It's not like there is anything country specific about connecting to wifi. People had a meetings discussing this and thought it was a good idea and some developer actually coded this.
They still have a fairly clean Android. Samsung's still have Bixby and the Samsung store, and their firmware I find to be aggravating, as Samsung phones will install carrier specific apps without any option to remove them. And a used Pixel can be had rather inexpensively due steep depreciation of Android phones.

#37So if you ever go on holiday, its safer not to buy a google pixel? Who comes up with these dumb ideas.
Lawyers. Regulators. Politicians. Most countries are swamped with regulations that are inflexible, insist on not recognising testing/accreditation done in other countries by default, exist to provide a moat for an entrenched interest group, etc.
But I guess the small startup of google has a hard time caring about some countries.

I've heard that Pixel phone have good security. With that said, there seems to be a lot of issues cropping up lately (like the 911 fiasco) which make me a bit skeptical of the value proposition.
Not sure good security is really a winning argument here.
