Dammit. Had an unlocked 512 stormy black in my cart and it actually didn't error out when I hit "checkout," but the page didn't load I think because of my ad-blocker. Refreshed and it ganked my device because out of stock.

Got an order through on the Google Store, Chase auto-declined it but Google wasn't registering that, so I canceled the order and managed to do another order with a delivery date a month later. Welp.

Honestly I can't decide if I really need 256gb. I've survived with 64gb (occasionally running low on vacations with lots of pictures/videos). Maybe I'll take lots of 4k videos though?

I don't tend to download lots of media, but I do intend to be taking lots of pictures and videos. I know everyone's use case is different, but does anyone have any thoughts on storage with a newer phone?

Was able to order through Fi with no issues. Should have just started there. Tried to get the Pixel Pass, but it said my account wasn't eligible, I guess because I have YouTube Premium / Google One? I dunno. Guess I'll figure that out later.

Yeah, I'm genuinely confused at all of this. Why are the bubbles around buttons so big, and the text so small? Why does swiping down with no notifications fill the screen with an empty notification area? This is so weird.

Feels like an OS you'd see on a device meant for children.

I probably just need 256, but I'm aiming for the 512 because my habit is to buy and keep for as long as possible. Same reason I got the 128 2 XL, and I would have exceeded the smaller 64gb long ago.

Pretty sure I could be fine with 256, but I don't want to be forced to buy a new phone due to storage in 5 years.

Best bet for launch day might be to keep an eye on Best Buy. I managed to get a launch day Pixel 5 that way, without having to refresh a website at 2am. They periodically added them.

IDK if that's still going to be the case with GLOBAL SUPPLY CHAIN DISRUPTIONS but we'll see.

Okay, maybe the overscroll effect is actually enough to make me switch back. My pixel 3 isn't getting further security updates anyway, might as well switch to whatever the hell cyanogen is called these days.

Same. I also actually really like the giant lock screen clock, especially for the bedside as a clock. I wish it wouldn't minimize when you have a notification.

Then go through and screw around some more, finally get back and hit "confirm" again

"Your issuer declined your payment!"

Of course. Get a text, confirm that it was me, and try again:

I technically have five pixel 6 pros on order while I wait for my wife to wake up and tell me if she cares enough about cloudy white to wait a month. Should get into the scalping game.

Oh no. Android 12 went back to that weird clock on the lockscreen that looks like:

(Instead of, you know, 2:18am/pm. At least for US users.)

I hate that so much. I hope there's a way to change it.

Ew Android 12 looks like poo poo. What did they do to the control center at the top? How do I go back to the icons?

Sereri posted:

I'm unhappy about the android 12 look and feel but I'm way too lazy to go back to 11. Looking forward to using my phone less and/or growing to dislike using it.

i was heavily criticized itt when i first tried the android 12 beta for saying how awful it looks. i'm "happy" to know more people who are trying it for the first time agree that it's a blocky ugly look for toddlers and seniors.

unpopular opinion, but i think the colorways on every pixel 6 are loving hideous except maybe the red one.

probably just gonna stick with my all black, single-hand capable, pixel 5 for at least another year
