Welp, checked the Google store this morning and the black 5 was available, so I grabbed one. Kinda sucks to get "old tech" for a new phone, but I really don't want a giant phone. The Pixel 3 barely fits in my cycling phone pouch and some other accessories, so the 5 is a perfect upgrade since...

Pixel 5a is bigger, which I do not want. At that rate, I might as well get a 6. I want small. Not getting a 4a either, not giving up wireless charging and water resistance.

I've been hanging on to my 3 since it's been working fine, waiting for the 6 to upgrade. Now I see the spec reveal and they won't be making a Pixel 5 sized phone this time. Such a lame move to make two huge phones instead of keeping the only small form Android phone on the market. Due to...

Mine is so random. Hasn't detected a song since Dec 11th though...

Mine has started working pretty regularly again. Radio songs, TV shows and commercials, etc.

I noticed it didn't work for a while. Just came back recently, but it seems to be intermittent. Every once in a while, it'll show a song playing on a TV commercial or on a show, then the next one it won't.

Sounds to me like mag mounts were popularized by iPhones that haven't had wireless charging until very recently. For those of us that have enjoyed wireless charging for a long time, mag mounts were never an option. They are great for use on travel when I'm not around my wireless chargers and...

I ordered from Fi on Oct 10th, said the delivery date was Nov 8-9. Got an email tuesday night saying my phones had shipped, they arrived this afternoon.

I prefer a smaller form factor, I think the XL size phones are ridiculous and unwieldy. I should be able to mostly use my phone one handed, and the bigger you make them, the more likely we are to drop them when trying to stretch a thumb across the screen. Plus they don't fit in pants pockets...

I've had an S6, Note 5, and S7 now and although Samsung does certain little things better than stock Android, the newest version of the Samsung OS started getting really annoying. Why do I need an unclearable notification that my battery is at 100%? Why do I need one that tells me an app is...

Ordered two pixel 3s from Project Fi (black and pink, 64GB) on Oct 10th, initial ship date was Nov 8-9. Just got the shipping email last night and the phones will be here tomorrow. Odd that the initial date was so late.

The phone is made by an American company in CA. It's 0630 there right now. I think we should all know by now that embargoes aren't based on GMT. Maybe for new Aston Martins or McLarens.

Mine still says delivery by Nov 8-9 and I ordered from Fi the day after the reveal. Both small phones, one black, one pink. Hope the pink selection didn't screw our delivery date.

Got to see the new Pixel at BB last night. The 5.5" phone is the perfect size, still has a bit of bezel on the top and bottom to hold on to, screen isn't as unreachable as the S9. Pixel XL is wayyyy too big IMO, only played with it for a second but would never buy a phone that big. I'm glad...

LOL except that's the title of this thread you started... I think maybe we should be more concerned that ordering through GOOGLE'S Project Fi gets you a phone 3 weeks later than everyone else for some reason.
