Sure it's average for a "top of the line price", and it's not even close to a "top of the line" phone. Country doesn't matter, I did a direct currency conversion there.

ijii posted:No mention of removable storage. Sorry Pixel, you're not for me. I'm not a fan of cloud crap. If you were expecting Google, who have not had expandable storage in phones for the past 5 generation of phones they have put out, to make a phone with expandable storage now, you need to pull your head out of your rear end.

Thermopyle posted:Well except it's not a Samsung. Can't emphasize this enough. Would buy this over an S7 or Note 7 simply because it seems much more like a good marriage of hardware and software to create an experience that I don't feel like I have to fight to get to work well.

Saying IP68 is required to be a "top of the line phone" seems kinda weird to me.

The 6P and 5X are no longer on sale on Google's store, but nothing up for the Pixel. Does that usually happen right after the keynote, or later?
