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

ok just ordered on the 18th from Google, 14 days after my 1st order and has an earlier ship date. This makes no sense. oh well once one ships I will cancel the other.

If you were here for last year's launch, this would not be at all surprising to you - same deal - different year.
 
My pending charge on my card disappeared this morning at some point, wonder if that means I'm getting closer to the front of the line??

I wouldn't get your hopes up. Mine disappeared about a week or so ago.
 
Pixel 2 Clearly White 128GB & Rock Earth Live Case

Loving it so far, still loads to test out though. Will share some thoughts over the coming hours/days/weeks of my Pixel experience. I'm coming from a Galaxy S7.

Anyone else received a yellow box? I wonder what all the colour variations are

I already posted this on another thread, but since a bunch of you are already getting your phones, I'm hoping one of you will be able to answer my question...

Although I'm sure this can be chalked up to wishful thinking...

"Has anyone gone into the Developer Options and checked to see if the sRGB switch is turned on? Maybe if it's on by default, we can get those punchy vibrant colors we've grown to love on our OLED screens by just simply turning it off!

Can someone PLEASE try this out?!"
 
My Google Financing finally has a pending charge! At least something is happening.

I spent some more time on Live Chat with Google Play help, they were very little help. When push came to shove the CSR just posted the official Google terms into the chat window, the final paragraph of which states that any shipping or delivery times given by Google are estimates, not guarantees.

The bottom line is they gave an estimate of the arrival time, and that's all they care about. When it says it should arrive by between October 20th and October 24th, they won't really do much unless it misses that 10/24 deadline. They don't pay a lot of attention to the estimated shipping date at all.

I got a green one, which I posted earlier.

I don’t see an option for sRGB within developer options?

As I suspected... Wishful thinking...

On my OG XL, my Nexus 6P, and maybe even other devices I can't remember, you could turn on sRGB to have the more "accurate" colors that we're seeing on the 2 XL.

I instead have a 'vivid colours' toggle in the display settings.

My black 64GB 2 XL is shipping a week early. Props to Verizon for making the October 25 ship BY date. I appreciate the under-promising!
