This just leaked from VZW. The new Pixels will even be available in blue!
I am a long-time Nexus fan, but for me, there's not enough compelling draw to move to these Pixels, even given the drama with the N7. Sure, you'll get quicker updates from Google, I loved that about my previous Nexus phones. But, there are so many features on the N7 that I really love that just aren't there on the Pixels. These features are far more valuable to me than getting quicker updates.
Even the "curb appeal" (as they say in real estate) of the Pixels just isn't there for me. The design of the N7, IMO, is hands-down so far superior to the Pixels. I'd say that they look like iPhones with those oversized top/bottom bezels, but without that equally oversized Apple home button. In fact, they look hopelessly generic.
For me, these Google phones are a swing-and-a-miss. When I was in the middle of the N7 drama I was hoping that I might be able to bail and just move over to a Pixel. Ain't happening.
