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

Yeah, I won't be able to test that out until I get home.

Ok, low light test. I had the phone in bed last night, and I thought it was a bit too dim, but I did not see any of the effects that some have mentioned. Maybe my eyes just aren't good enough to see it. After looking for a bit, I brightened the display a bit and everything seemed just fine. So far I am pretty pleased with the phone. Tried out the ambient music identifier last night, it works well. It takes about 15-20 seconds for it to recognize the song. Led Zepplin Whole lotta love and Immigrant Song were picked up. Some obscure country stuff my wife played were not. I think I read that it only has a db of 17000 songs, so I imagine the more obscure stuff will not be recognized. Also you need to turn on the service for this to work, go to settings, security, lockscreen.
 
Ordered a Black 64gb XL 2 on the 4th with estimated ship date on the 23rd. I was hoping for an earlier ship date but nothing yet... Not even a hint of a pending charge.

I admit, it is a bit of an annoyance that people ordering after those that placed pre-orders in those first couple of days are getting shipped phones sooner. =/

Though maybe I'm just being sensitive since my poor beloved 6p came down with the battery drain issue and it shuts down about 5 times a day...(woe is me). I just want my new phone =(
 
My Pixel 2 shipped yesterday from Illinois and is scheduled to be here in Dayton by end of day tomorrow. Shipped 1 day late but is still supposed to be here by the weekend. I hope they make it. I wanted the weekend to set it up.
 
Same boat as you. I went through several orders when the site went live. Had a panda before I realized the plain black was shipping much earlier. I think I wound up with three orders (cancelling two). Ship date is the 23rd. No charge on my account so far.

Am I the only one who was given a ship date of Oct 17th and here we are on Oct 19th and nothing...

Well, as long as you asked. I was giving a ship date of the 18th. Black 64 unlocked, ordered on the 9th.

FedEx picked it up on the 17th, and it did ship from Illinois on the 18th. Just to give others a yardstick, it currently is on track to be delivered on the 20th in Phoenix. 97 degrees today :-)
 
Ordered Oct 8, fedex say sit will be delivering today. Maybe you guys should have ordered the smaller pixel if you wanted to get so antsy about getting it ASAP. :P Also, FedEx told me the 23rd on the 18th and didn't update until this morning so their tracking isn't the best.

I mean, your estimated ship date is the 23rd which is next week...

Mine was the 17th, it's now the 19th...
 
I just spoke to Google Help. Just checking, as I ordered XL Black 128GB on the 6th, with a shipping date of Oct. 25th. I went to the store, and I can buy the same phone, same everything, and it ships on Oct. 22nd.

So, I asked what's up, and I Brian tells me that there is a glitch/bug for phones ordered from the 4th until the 16th, that is causing problems with the time and delivery estimates. They're working the problem. He expects that I'll get my phone well prior to the posted times, but no promises.

For what that's worth. Could be baloney, could be true, could be a way to get me off of the phone.
 
Order Date: 10/4 (Free Shipping)
Ship Date: 10/17
Est. Delivery: 10/20 - 10/23

I was pleasantly surprised to see that it is currently on a FedEx truck for delivery, today the 19th. So, in my case Google under promised and over delivered.

The main thing is the whole people ordering later getting them sooner. It's like waiting in line at the coffee shop for 20 minutes and ordering a plain coffee only to have the five people behind you order plain coffee but have theirs handed to them first.

Some things to remember, is nobody's mentioning whether these were Verizon, or Google phones, too. Also, the style and variety. I ordered a Verizon'd SIM model from Google on the 4th with an with an estimated ship date in November, then I cancelled and ordered an unlocked one on the 9th and got a shipping date of the 18th
 
Yep. I don't know if it is an inventory or demand issue, but generally it seems to me like the unlocked 128GB black are generally shipping earlier than the 64GB unlocked black.
