There is still an embargo on reviews until later this week. Until that is listed most sites won't have much more to say.

Yup... No one wants to violate NDA. When it ends, everyone will post reviews at the same time
 
Anxious to see some hands-on reviews and some more side-by-side camera shootouts.
 
Did you guys order from Verizon or the Google Store? I ordered from the Google Store and my order has been in "Pending" since I ordered.
Ordered from Google on 10/6. Mine said pre-order till Saturday.
 
Mine has said pending for at least a week now. Delivery is 21-24th. Hoping it's earlier as I'm out of town this weekend.
 
Mine says "pending" as well. I don't remember if it ever said "pre-order". I can tell you that my credit card has not yet been charged.
 
This lack of reviews is frustrating.

Embargos are the way the world works. The fact is, you can read 5 different reviews and get 5 different verdicts. Companies won't risk bad press before a product launch, and most big tech blogs that are privy to these sorts of things won't risk getting black balled in tech circle so they tend to stand by them. I'll be most major sites have a review already written up, just not published.
 
I have a feeling our day one preorder from google wont changed from "pending" to "processing" until the 20th.

edit: silly me. I didn't read the verge article and they did say it will be ship out on the 20th.

Yeah this is really unsatisfying. Why not Google just give the reviewers pre-launched handsets so that they can shed some more light on the handsets. Thank you.
 
Looking forward to reviews on Android Central forums this week! May those that pre-ordered get them sooner rather than later. :D
 
I'm sure I saw in another thread that Verizon corporate stores are supposed to have demo Pixels for display today. Has anyone been to a store and seen them? I may go by one near me at lunch to see.
