    I got mine...

    Picked up my bounty from the NYC Chelsea Google Store about 45 mins. ago. A lot of people doing the same but the line moved fast! I will need to hit T-Mobile to switch the e-sim so I won't be able to use it until Saturday as I have to be in the office tomorrow. :P

    Am outside the Chelsea Google store now, quite a long line in and outside the store for online pickup!

    My order's ready for pickup and my trade in kit has a delivery date of Friday. Excited to have the 8 Pro in my hands tomorrow!

    Official Pixel 8/8 Pro Pre-order Thread.

    Still doing pickup tomorrow (no notifications probably until tonight/tomorrow) but I got notification and a tracking number that my trade in kit was shipping, but checking the status on UPS shows it's still on "Label Created".

    Pixel 8 cases thread.

    I just went for the clear Casemate signature case in the Google store. If Spigen had gotten their cases up on Amazon a little sooner I probably would have gotten the clear Ultra Hybrid instead, and if I'm not liking the Casemate one, I will get the Spigen.

    Doubt I will get a shipped notice, but automagically have a ready for pickup notice on Thursday since I did pickup at the Chelsea NYC Google Store. :D I'm wishing they'd open an hour early so I can pick it up on the way to work rather than on the way home!

    Official Pixel 8/8 Pro Pre-order Thread.

    I was saying to myself that I was going to stick with my 7Pro this year, but then Google went and apparently paid some attention to video this year, so... I pick up my Black 8 Pro at the NYC Google Store on Tuesday, along with the Champagne gold Watch 2. [emoji16] Trading in my backup 6Pro for...

    Are the Pixel 6 Pro speakers really good or am I really blinded?

    I was pleasantly surprised by the speakers, they are way better than the Pixel 5 speakers.

    Google knocked my socks off with the 6 Pro, then did this....

    Socks have arrived! Probably won't wear them outside, maybe as house socks though.

    My gift is arriving any minute too. I think you had to have attended (or at least signed up to attend) this Superfan event that was held online the evening of the launch in order to get the gift.

    First impressions?

    Not sure there is a fix, the 10 zeros were the middle digits of my EID, not the leading ones, so no omitting them.

    I don't think I did anything different, just followed the prompts.

    First impressions?

    This is a very nice looking phone! The feel in hand of the 6 Pro is much less unwieldy than I was fearing - it's more tall than chunky, which is the key. Fingerprint sensor so far is working great for me. Transferring everything from my Pixel 5 went smoothly, activating the eSim needed a...

    I dunno, so far today the fingerprint scanner is working great for me, set it up for my right thumb and index finger and my left thumb, no problems so far - it's working better than the back scanner on my Pixel 5!
