I think many Google and Android fans, especially fans of the Nexus line were shocked yesterday, mostly at the price even though the rumors were leaning towards these prices. Give it some time ladies and gents and the Pixel prices may drop a little around the holidays. If they do not drop or it does drop and its still too high, you will not care as much in a few months. I think the 2017 Pixel line will be better than this and you will be very glad that you waited, if you do. I think the Pixel will be very good to us like the Nexus was, but if you want 'premium' you will just have to accept the fact that you will pay. Pay and play or move on and do not let it consume you.
