    A Good Car mount.

    I was never one for vent mounts, but this one by Square Jelly fish absolutley rocks. Square Jellyfish Jelly Grip Car Vent Mount for Smartphones & Garmin GPS It is secure, the design does not put stress on the vent, and the ability to angle and rotate could not be easier. On amazon for $18.95...

    Not so "seamless" update today (but close)

    Just to add to this, I was told by support that the "roll out" of the batches can be up to 2 weeks from Google Store bought phones. Just FWIW. I have a vzw and still waiting for my update as well.

    Does VZW ship early?

    My experience is usually yes, but people are posting on another board about getting emails saying their shipment has been delayed to December. Appears this only applies to 128gb models on delayed shipment.

    Downside from buying from a private party?

    Hi, other than the normal risks of buying a phone from a private party from swappa what is the down side? I preordered a pixel but that won't come until mid November.

    Is waterproofing really that important to you?

    Mistakes happen, and over the years I have had my issues with praying to the cell gods that may be as my phone was buried in a bag of rice. Losing a $400 phone because you are in a rainstorm/toilet/pool hurts, losing an $900 investment is just painful. The Pixel is new but I can imagine...

    The AC editors have a Pixel and Pixel XL — ask us about them!

    I was apprehensive with going with the pixel since it was a slight decrease in screen size from my moto x 2016. and I am just not a phablet person. However, battery life is just key for me because i am not always near a charger. After reading the reviews, is the XL able to fit in a front...

    Verizon Pre-order/Shipping

    I initially ordered mine from the google store - but delivery is not until 11/15. Now with the updates thing straightened out I may jump on the vzw pre-order to get it early. Interestingly, I put an order on my vzw account weeks ago and it is still sitting in my cart waiting to be processed.

    Verizon via Ars Technica - updates will not be delayed

    No doubt there has been negative articles plastered across the web with the headline DON'T BUY YOUR PIXEL FROM VERIZON. And it is probably no coincidence that only the Google Store has had stock issues. So, perhaps public pressure and the consumer purchase power has won on this case. I also...

    Google Pixel - Preorder / order / shipping thread

    I was on the wait list for a few days. Then received an email, all the email said was your item is in stock in limited quantities. Then had a buy it now icon to click. I was luck where i just so happened to have the time to buy it at the moment I received the email. There was no time limit...
