Google Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL Pre Order / Shipping Discussion

Re: Google Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL Pre Order Thread

I'm not a fan of the colored power button either. But Apple put a red dot on the crown of their Apple watch LTE. Reviewers were oozing over it. I'm like it's a damn dot!

I still purchased a Pixel 2 XL in Panda. A reviewer did love the colored power button....SMH. I don't get it.

At nearly $1,000, I suspect that most people are going to put this phone into a case anyway (I know I will). Good chance that button is going to be covered up.

I'll have a clear case on the panda

A clear case is the way! Why hide the beautiful Panda colors?

Ok now it allows me to choose the phone (delivery time 6-7 weeks) but when I go to check out it doesn’t do anything. Just keeps refreshing the same page

Means the phone is out of stock or the website is still having latency issues.

Re: Google Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL Pre Order Thread

So it turns out I'll get mine bit quicker than originally thought. It seems the "Unlocked" versions are shipping quicker than the "Verizon SIM" versions. I never bought an unlocked phone before so this will be another step into the unknown for me

Cancelled my Verizon SIM one (11/7 ship) and ordered the Unlocked 2 XL 128GB Black (shipping 10/24 with expedited shipping).

Hoping VOLTE and advanced calling work OK on VZW this way. I guess it will...

Re: Google Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL Pre Order Thread

seems to be more black and white in stock. I was able to finally place a order. delivery date Nov 29-30th though... . I got my Nexus 6 around Nov 27th so I guess I'll meet that anniversary

Re: Google Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL Pre Order Thread

Ordered black Pixel XL 2 64gb as soon as phone announced. Ship date of October 18th. Delivery date October 20-23rd.

Forgot to add google care protection and only way to get it is cancel and reorder. Smh. Should be able to add until phone ships. Selling my Pixel XL to a friend for $400.00

It will. I had my unlocked Google Pixel XL on Verizon last year without issue.

Re: Google Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL Pre Order Thread

Sold my wife's Pixel XL 128 with Daydream View on Ebay when the Note8 came out. 7 day Auction, it sold for $418, then subtract shipping and Ebay fees I netted $362. I'm taking advantage of the trade in on my Pixel XL 32. Don't think I can get close to $400 anywhere else.

Swappa... is a better medium for selling. You can list it and it you don't get your asking price you don't have to sell it and can then just trade it in. they only charge a $10 fee I believe.

There are a lot of them listed however...LOL.

Thanks for the heads up, I canceled my black and ordered a white 2 xl... but the date is now arriving around dec 1 vs oct 27 for the black... maybe I made a mistake

Re: Google Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL Pre Order Thread

Success! Was finally able to check out. Orders the Kinda Blue Pixel. Delivery won’t be till late November but that’s ok with me

Yikes I hope these dates are just estimates and not actually the time frame of when they will ship. Makes you wonder if Google waits until a "new order" comes in and THEN build the phone instead of having some handy.

Re: Google Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL Pre Order Thread

I did as well but figured I'd get a black/64 now and exchange it later if I decide I want white and/or 128GB. Plus I have a trip coming up soon and need a phone before then. Timing will work out great.

Did the opposite. White was out of stock so ordered the 128 XL at work. Got home and ordered the Panda for 30 Nov and canceled the 25 Oct Black 128 XL

Re: Google Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL Pre Order Thread

Pre-ordered via Project Fi. Pixel 2 XL 64GB Just Black. Estimated delivery is November 3rd - 7th

I don't want to wait a whole month But really glad Fi has (had?) a good supply. Time to upgrade from this Nexus 6P!

Re: Google Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL Pre Order Thread

Finally got my panda XL in the configuration I want. 64GB is enough for me. Unfortunately they're saying 7-8 weeks. I can wait though. At least I hope so So if anyone is looking for a panda 128 GB, I'm throwing one more into the mix. Canceling that order. Hopefully it's immediately available to the next person that wants it.
