When you order your Pixel, don't look at your order history

[Aquila]

There's an inevitable depression associated with seeing how much "stuff" you buy from any one retailer when you see it all at once. I accidentally got into my order history on the Google Store and saw this:

Purchased directly from Google:
Nexus 7 2012
Nexus 7 2012 Dock
Nexus 7 2013
HP Chromebook 11
Nexus Player
Nexus 6P
Nexus 6P Case
Nexus 5X
Pixel C
Pixel C Keyboard
Photos Live Case for Nexus 5X
Pixel
Pixel XL
Google Home

And that doesn't include all the Google products picked up from their partners directly:

Galaxy Nexus
Galaxy Nexus
Galaxy Nexus
Nvidia Shield (Android TV)
Nvidia Shield Tablet
Nexus 9
Nexus 6
Moto 360
Nest

And all the third party accessories to go with all that junk...

I feel like seeking out a 12 step program. Anyone else gone overboard with one particular vendor?

I've had 17 Android phones in the last few years , and that doesn't include one's I've bought and sold more than once (and doesn't include the pixel). Not one vendor though...

Amazon is pretty bad for me. If I scroll through my order history I'll find things I don't recognize and think "when the heck did I buy that? ? Oh... August of this year..."

Mine:

Nexus Q (yeah I was one of them -- ashamed LOL)
Nexus 7
Nexus 5 32 GB
Chromecast 1st Gen
Chromebook Pixel LTE (2013)
Google Glass
Nexus 9
Nexus 5X 32 GB
Chromebook Pixel LS 2015
Chromecast 2nd Gen
Pixel C 64GB
Pixel Phone 32GB

Waiting for home and Wifi and will order those when available...

Those are direct from Google but I have also purchased Google stuff from Best Buy and other retailers. I've also had a Nexus One, a Nexus S, a Galaxy Nexus, a Nexus 4 and a Nexus Player along with a few other items and accessories... Google Glass was purchased online but I had to pick it up at the Venice Beach compound. They were replaced with V2 by Google via mail..

Not included in my list are warranty replacements.. I had 2 Nexus 7's replaced, one Chromebook Pixel LTE (2013) replaced and a Nexus 5 replaced direct from Google... The Nexus Q was fully refunded but shipped for free to me anyways after Google abandoned it LOL..

Amazon is an addiction

You still have the q?

 

[raqball]

You still have the q?

I do not... I sold it on eBay a few years ago and was surprised when someone actually bought it.. LOL

 

[raqball]

Double post....

 

[Aquila]

I've only had 14-16 phones outside of that list above, so around 25ish in six years. Some of the people on this forum are WAY over that. But I did have two fairly long single phone periods that seem like ages ago when I'm using two daily drivers+ a Fi phone and testing one to play with.

 

[raqball]

Wow... I am nowhere even close to that..

Other phones I've had in the past 4 or so years besides the Nexus's

iPhone 7 -- returned after a week = hated it!
iPhone SE -- nice little phone
Xperia Z5 Compact -- Nice phone
Xperia Z3 Compact -- My favorite Sony phone ever!

I mainly still rock my Nexus 5.. I replaced the battery about a year ago and it's still going strong and looks brand spanking new.. Purchased on release day so I've gotten my $$$ worth out of it..

 

[raqball]

Double post again.. YIKES!

 

[mop26921]

I guess I'm the odd one out... I'm still rocking my nexus 4 bought in 2013 lol

when i saw this thread, i thought it was about : Dont look at the order history if youre waiting for the "pending' to change to "processing", it'll change when its ready. <-- im guilty of this.

Hey at least they changed from "Preorder" to "Pending" already.

 

[raqball]

The charge to my card fell off after 3-days in pending mode (normal) so I'll know the instant my status changes and Google recharges my card..

I have a banking app that alerts me to purchases / charges instantly.. In many cases, I get the alert on my phone before the payment terminal even says my purchased was approved...

Same boat as you.

lol. You indeed spend a lot of money and let the "upgrade bug" bite you too often.
I used to be like that but since I got the HTC M8 I didn't feel the need to upgrade anymore, I just love this phone. Of course I am waiting for a proper review from Anandtech for instance to debate if I should upgrade to a Pixel or a HTC 10 but I believe I won't, at least for now. 700 dollars is a lot of money, to me at least.

Part of it is that I'm using 2 - 4 phones at a time.

Phones seem to last as long as fruit flies in my house. I am a serial phonlanderer.

 

[ash_3prem]

i had my first nexus phone earlier in 2014 which was nexus 4 and 6 months later it had gone through some serius problem so i got a replacement and i have got nexus 5 rather than nexus 4 .
this is how i had two nexus device now i have my eyes on pixel not on pixel xl because pixel is more handy for me .
