Also App Store payments are region-locked and that is bad for me. I have high standards. I'm completely serious. The iPhone 7 is the best phone at that size bar none.

Since Canadian tire to USD exchange is so bad do Canadians actually get paid more now?

Will 5x prices get pushed any lower by the Pixel release in the next few weeks? Lowest I'm seeing is $200 with Fi (I already have T-mobile and live in NYC so Fi should be fine). My 3+yo MotoX barely functions and don't know if I can survive more than another week or two.

They're not going to drop any lower than $200. That's already giving them away.

I had some battery problems on the N beta on my Nexus 6 like what are being described, but a reboot cleared them up and I haven't noticed a real issue in quite some time (though my battery life on this phone in general is not exactly something to sing about).

Well, I just paid the $249 anyway. I'm okay with that price. When I get the phone, I just activate Fi on it, and then immediately cancel or do I need to wait X days before canceling?

Just contact them and tell them to gently caress off. Then put your own SIM in.

Didn't notice this when I ordered it but the Pixel comes with a promo code for a daydream view. Also just noticed that Google Keyboard capitalizes Pixel.

As a Verizon customer, the last Google phone I owned was a Galaxy Nexus. Verizon hosed the Nexus nature of that phone by being many months behind Google with the OTA updates. Is there any sign that this won't be the case with the Pixel?

Although the Nexus 6 was on verizon and it didn't have the problems that the Gnex did, so maybe they're better now?

Nexus 6 on VZW came out ~3-4 months late, but other than that like minimal (uninstallable) bloatware and I get security updates and OTAs day and date with the Normal Nexus 6 owners. It's the same phone. Unlocked bootloader too. Not sure why 5X and 6P didn't make it to VZW. All signs point to the Pixel on VZW having a locked bootloader versus the Google one having an unlocked one.  Although not sure how root even works or would work with the dual OS setup. w00tazn fucked around with this message at 22:43 on Oct 4, 2016 |

The 5x was discounted on Google's store with in a couple months. I expect the Pixel to do the same. Although I did just get a raise at work that covers the cost of the phone...maybe I deserve it.

Best part is you have to wait until November to find out it's out of stock. Google is just a crazy pile of individual failures of everything propped up on ad money. It's insane.
