How many bought . Own a Blue XL?
Personally I wished it was Blue front and back and there was a 128gb option, I'm on the fence...
Would you order one if they added stock?
I was considering buying the blue one but all that was available when I ordered was the black or white. I ordered like an hour after they announced on October 4th. I kinda wanted to try something different and get a blue phone but I ended up with black because of my limited options. I'm still curious why the blue wasn't available even though I ordered so soon after the announcement.

What I was thinking is that most of us, at least I do. Put a case on my phones, even if it's an ultra thin tpu/skin and would probably end up covering the back anyways. Plus again, white it's my first choice. I've mainly used clear (almost all tend to yellow after a while) or smoked (yellowing doesn't show). For most of my Korean phones, I always got a mercury gel/jelly tpu that having jelly bean popping colors. I doubt they will have those available for the Pixel, but one can hope. If I end up keeping a blue, most likely use the thinnest clear I can find.

I've had a thin clear case on my last few phones too. I put a cheapie clear one from Amazon on my Pixel XL. I prefer the look and feel of no case at all, but I can be clumsy at times and find myself fumbling my phone. Clear is as close as I can get to no case and still have my extremely expensive phone protected.

Here's a link to the one I have now. It was only $8 but seems to be of good enough quality. It's pretty easy to get the phone in and out of also. I had a Spigen case on my last phone (iphone 6s+). That case was very tight. Almost felt like I was going to break my phone whenever I needed to take it out of the case.

I would have gotten the blue but I opted for the bigger storage, even though I do have a otg. I've had one since I got the n5 when it came out and only used it a handful of times. Too bad the lower storage option wasn't higher. I only opted for higher storage so I don't have to carry two devices around

Got my Amazon delivery about an hour ago by Fedex. It was in a beatup paper bubble envelope with no packing list of any kind. Then I drove over to Best Buy (Union NJ) to get a cover. All they had was the overpriced Belkin cover which will be a ~30 day "rental" till I find something I like.
Edit: Belkin case has no "closure" either magnetic or velcro.
BTW, All BB here had was 16GB in both white and gray.
This has a far better "build" feeling than the my ASUS and it is SLIGHTLY thinner & lighter but once it goes in the case what difference does "thinner/lighter" really matter?
The lack of uSD still bugs me. I still may end up back with the Asus.
And it came totally discharged. Argggh! Weighs 1lb 4.oz. Will it get heavier as it fills up with electrons?
No samsung packaging? I'd kick up a fuss and demand that you get that too, always better to have the original box etc if you ever plan to sell it on at some point.

Hi All
Could you advise on MicroSD support on Asus Smart? what is maximum capacity you have been succesfully using?
Ausu mentioned MiniSDXC up to 32GB but on some reviews I read that 64 are supported as well, on others that there were some issues with it..
What cards and what capacity you can recommended as working without issue?
What do you think about this sandisk?
http://www.amazon.co.uk/SanDisk-SDS...KM30/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1360367319&sr=8-1
I use a Sandisk micro sdxc 64GB (same as the one you linked) and it works fine. Also worked with Surface RT. It's fast enough for 1080p video which is all that matters to me, I don't use it for programs.
Thank you for your answer. I have ordered this sandisk as well. Now one last thing to find the case. Otherwise all is ready and waiting for ME400 delivery. Can't wait

Case is the one thing I have not found. Amazon have the BlueRex for $15 but no picture yet and no ETA.
I've had my Vivotab Smart ME400C for a couple of weeks now. Lovin it.
DEFINITELY glad I did not go with an RT device. IMO, if you're going to go RT, might as well get an Android tablet.
From what I can see, the form factor is nearly identical to the Vivotab RT. So I shopped (my wife actually) for a case that is compatible with the RT. Seems that searching on Amazon also brings up results that reflect that the RT is compatible with the Transformer? Haven't looked in to it.
Judging by the images (I know they can be deceiving), it looks like the case should fit the ME400. Case also rotates.
The case also comes with a neoprene carrying pouch.
Hopefully, it will arrive in less than a week. Also ordered a matte screen/anti glare screen protector. These two items for less than $30 + $7 or so for shipping.
I've also ordered a 64GB Micro SDXC Sandisk memory card and OTG cable.
Asus seems somewhat inconsistent. SOME of their sites (various countries) show just SDHC and some show SDHC (SDXC compatible memory cards). And from what I've read here, I'm going to go with SDXC works for our ME400. (Crossing my fingers!)
Keep y'all posted on the stuff I've ordered.
Here are links to the items I've ordered for your reference/opinions/input.

My experience with those 360 degree cases are not pleasant. That one could be different but it looks identical to the one I got for my Nexus 7. It was very cheaply made, and the rotation was simply a button-clip design so I could spin it in a circle continuously if I wanted. Stability when it was in portrait was not strong. It would slowly start to bend backwards due to the flimsiness of the case.
I've ordered a few of the matte protectors from ebay that were for the RT Vivo. The only major difference I can see is the ME400 is ~1mm thicker than the RT version. Not sure how much that would affect cases for it. Some maybe, other's not.

I know what you mean. I've played around with a few cases from those kiosks in shopping malls. Not really thrilled with the build quality, I agree. I'm not expecting the best for sure. However, considering I have dropped my ME400 twice already (low level), but has chipped the outer bezel on both corners (one corner per drop, lol), I need to get something asap.
The thickness...well with the ME400 being slightly thicker, I'm hoping it just makes for a tighter fit.
I just hope the screen protector has the proper areas exposed, ie camera, light sensor etc. Don't want to do a hackjob on the screen protector.
Hi Guys
I got myself this one:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B007SGV26U/ref=aw_d_var_2nd_clothing_img?vs=1
And I am really surprised by its quality. It fits perfectly and provides quite good level of protection. It's rather stiff and has those jelly bubbles inside.
Still will be looking for portfolio case.
In this matter I am waiting for MoKo case which is already available in US but still not in UK.
It looks quite nice.
Unless somebody is willing to buy me one off US amazon page and sell it to me on eBay
Ordered a folio style case that is for the Vivotab RT from amazon. Other than 1mm thickness difference, they are identical. Will let you know when it arrives how it fits.
Amazon tracking has told me my Sandisk Micro SDXC 64GB card has been delivered.
2 more hours of work to go before I can trek home and plug this baby in.
Crossing my fingers!
It's working just fine I have been using sandisk 64gb for a while without any problems.

Throughly enjoying the 64GB SDXC. I was worried because the Asus site was a little flakey in terms of information. Some of their sites show just SDHC, some sites show SDHC (SDXC compatible).
Now...just waiting for my cheap aftermarket case, anti-glare screen protector and OTG cable.:good:

Hi guys
I have received this case and I will describe it in one word AVOID!!!!!
This is scam, this case is for some device but for sure not for ME400C. Additionally I saw a cow in my life and I don't remember it to be made of cheap plastic. Or I don't know how leather looks like.
Just to summarise I am sending it back, quality is a joke, windows button is covered same as ambient light sensor and volume down rocker.
I have attached some photos below
Probably best off with just getting the official case from ASUS
Looks more like a case for the Transformer TF600. That might explain the extra cutouts and the covering of the windows button?
This is what I thought. Still if you are in need for a case you cad go for TF600 cases if you don't mind few things not be perfectly in line. Side wise those two devices are almost same.

Same here, should arrive next week. Will post results.
Vivotab RT Screen protector arrived, which I ordered for my Smart. Dimension wise it fits, camera hole is a little off centre, so I had to do a little hackjob. for $5 and change, free shipping, no harm done. Will order an official one from Zagg probably soon.
I've already dropped my Smart twice. Top left and right corners of the bezel are already chipped. Thus I need my case (even if it's not 100% the right one) asap, and is also why I opted to get the RT screen protector for the time being.
Got mine in. The Greatshield case is nice but it does cover the volume down button slightly. Since it is for vivotab RT, I wasn't expecting a perfect fit. The light sensor is almost covered as well. It can't go into the lower stand case, it can only do the high stand style. There is no smart cover-style feature on the vivotab smart so the magnets don't put it in sleep mode. Overall, a nicely built case.
Hi, I currently have a Samsung S3 which is VERY slow. Lags a lot any has terrible battery life. Upgrade needed ASAP
I got given a Samsung S5, for free, however it's in gold. Out of the four colours, this is the worst, however I still appreciate it was for free.
For someone that cares a lot about looks of the phone, I think S5's are ugly anyway, and for it to be gold is even worse. It makes the phone look cheap, and gold only looks good on iPhones.
I also despise phone cases, I believe they ruin the feel of the phone, (and, well the look of it but the look of this phone is bad anyway because of the gold).
I also have warranty on it for another year.
My question is - is there anyway I can change the colour of it? Like I said I really want to upgrade but I absolutely DESPISE the golden colour. I'd rather stick with the S3. I need a way to change the colour without voiding the warranty. I know the back cases can easily be bought and changed however the sides of the phone are also gold, unlike the black and blue where the sides are both silver (so you can easily change the cases and have the different colours).
I intend using this until October, when the new iPhone comes out. I hate to say that I'm moving to iOS, but I've been on android for a good 3 years, I love it, but I'd like a change.
Thank you.
Pretty sure the easiest way would be to sell it and buy another in a different colour.

Hmm.. I did think of that, but I'd lose my warranty.
Actually I believe the electric blue is not a unique color since it's just a black s5 with a blue back cover(which you can buy online for $15 or less)

Yep... Unfortunately its not the same for the gold one, as the gold one actually has a gold body too. All the other ones have silver bodies. I really wanna use this S5.
Perhaps someone can suggest me a case that is very very very thin but hides the colour. Thank you.

There's no mention whether pixel comes with notification light or not but i've got confirmation from google cs that it does and it's placed near the front camera.
I personally love notification light feature.
If anyone has any more details relating to this please share.

But boy it's expensive, what'a happened to google.

Just curious, because I keep hearing this. How is the Pixel not equivalent to other "flagships" ?
Thus far every quick comparison hands on I've seen from reputable YouTuber's directly compare it's specs to the iPhone 7 +, S7/N7 line.. in those quick comparisons it's either on par or exceeds the other spec wise..
Edit: To add, what features you think detract from being considered a "flagship" device is irrelevant. Just because the iPhone doesn't have an S Pen doesn't make it worth any less to the iPhone crowd, where as Note fans wouldn't consider the iPhone because it's lacking one...

Its missing certain features from the previous nexus as well what other devices in its class offer
Screen is smalller than note 7 or zenfone 3 deluxe..they should have kept it at 5.7 at least
They ditched the stereo speakers which i dont get given the huge bezels on the thing lol. Axon 7 and iphone have this
Smallish internal storage, where is the 256gb option? Would not expect a google device to have an SD card slot but for the money they want it needs more internal or the slot. Iphone offers 256gb and note, axon, asus have sd slots
No water resistance..dont really care about this but other devices in its class offer it. Note and iphone have this
Only 4gb am...again i dont care but other devices in its class ( and below it) have 6gb. One plus 3 6gb, zenfone 3 6gb etc etc
There is nothing wrong with the device, its actually really nice however if you are going to charge a premium and then some for it you damn sure better have all the bells and whistles....and it does not.
Give me a pixel XL with a 5.7 to 6" screen, stereo speakers and 256gb of storage and id be the first one waving money around to buy it.
Sent from my SM-N930FD
I read it was under the top speaker grille. Being that it's HTC, that seems correct.
Don't seem to be doing too well, in the uk the black xl is still showing dispatches by 20th Oct. Not sold out and no queues.
I think HTC and google are sharing the profits 50/50 hence the stupid stupid price. HTC do all the work and google take the profit, I think they have HTC by the short and curlies.
It's a nice phone far far better and more premium then nexus 6p in every dept, which lets be honest felt cheap and really flimsy. Screen was flat and material was very thin.
Ideally pixel xl should have been priced around £600 - £650 for the 128gb version when comparing to last years model. £500 is far too cheap for this phone when comparing to other top end phones.
If this phone fails then it's purely down to pricing.
Why does every thread descend into: "It's too expensive and the bezels are huge"? This is a thread about a notification LED, go whinge in the whingers thread!
Anyway... I would expect it to be hidden behind the glass at the top like the N6P, they took a similar approach of not mentioning the damn thing apart from the little sub note on the Google store page. I definitely missed it on the N6 and was glad to have it back on the 6P. I hope it isn't a grille effort as HTC had a habit in the past of only putting RAG LEDs behind the grille thus eliminating 16.6something million colours.

My apologies, I hate these back and forth debates that seem to continually infiltrate pertinent threads....But the "flagship" issue needs to be put to rest....
Everything you've just listed are features you'd like to have seen on the next device. Well, obviously they're not there. However, because they're not there like you wanted them to be doesn't in any way detract from what is... What is there ranks this device among all other flagship devices like them or not. I would love to have seen Google put out a Pixel that is a combination of every other phones key features rolled into one nice $500 package. Unfortunately, that isn't what happened due to monetary and technical constraints phone manufacturers have to deal with. I'm not knocking your thought process, because I would love to have seen a 5.7" display and front firing speakers, both of which are a disappointing omission to me. But the specs it does have put it into the "flagship" category.
Again, my apologies...

Then you'd have to place the phone face down. I would hate that. It would have been cool to use the bottom front bezel for a lightbar like on the other pixel devices that could be used for notifications.

I agree, always have my phone face up. I'm glad there is a notification light, such a useful feature for me. I like to glance at my phone on my desk & see if anything is up.
I like notification. Light. But I never trust it. Lol. Especially this time of year. I await any new news o. Our pixel. Flashing or not. I check my phone waaay to often.

Just returned the OP5, it's nice and all but I got a weird issue with the Wifi hotspot, which is a deal breaker for me.
Then saw the U11 Solar Red and also $50 discount going on, so pull the trigger... I have read good thing about U11's battery life and camera, and I am eager to try out the Edge Sense feature. I want a quick way to launch the camera and am used to Motorola's quick capture (double-twist to launch camera) feature. I think Nougat's double-press power to launch camera is not fast enough. I always have to struggle to reach the power button! So, hopefully Edge sense would be as quick as Motorola's quick capture.
The missing of the 3.5 audio jack is a small issue, I want to be able to charge and listen to radio at bed time. There should be adapter out there to use the port for both at the same time?
Also, saw the screen is polarized, so with polarized sunglasses and phone in landscape mode, won't be able to see anything. That reminds me of my Nexus 5... A little inconvenience...
The memory size (4GB) is half of OP5's 8GB, do you think long term wise it would be an issue - with new updates and stuff, the OS and apps being more memory hungry by the days...
Anyway, really excited now.
My U11 does not react to polarized sunglasses in either orientation, which surprises me greatly. I was extremely happy to find this because I am outside with sunglasses on constantly. Outdoor visibility with and without glasses is a very important factor to me and I can count on one hand or less the other devices out of the 30 or so I have used that were substantially better than this.

Although i have read different experience same for me. Tried with a Rayban from a collegue and it still worked fine. But maybe there are more panels out there (like with the 10)?
Memory: On the long term maybe it will have to reload some apps (which is pretty fast). The question is also how many years you want to use it and if you are a heavy multitasker. So decide yourself if that might be a problem. Today i would see it on par with other flagships. The memory wouldnt be a point to buy the OP5 for me.

That would be nice if it's not a problem! I still remembered I got puzzled when I was using my N5 to take a video and the screen appeared to go blank.
Great choice, you're gonna love the solar red U11.
As of now, there's no adaptor available which supports charging and audio output at the same time. This is because the adaptor which the U11 uses actually has a DAC and not just a signal converter. I'm ok with that since it is giving good audio quality, and charging is really fast.
Edge sense is awesome. To me, the biggest benefit comes with being able to squeeze to snap, no need to stretch for the on screen or volume shutter button. Just one thing to note, the camera does have a delay of about 0.5secs after you squeeze to prevent movement from the squeeze itself.
The screen does turn a little darker in landscape mode, but not totally black, so you should be able work with it with polarized glasses on.

The screen does turn a little darker in landscape mode, but not totally black, so you should be able work with it with polarized glasses on.

Unfortunately I was told by support that it won't ship until 2nd week of July and I don't wanna wait, so I go ahead to order the silver one and cancel the red one. I want to try the phone and see if I wanna keep it, if so, I may still return the silver and then get the red one... The reason I do all this is because I will be out of country for the whole of August, so I want to try out the phone asap.

Yea, the red version is still a "pre-order" so there's a risk of being delayed anyway. I personally like the silver one very much as it's actually light blue most of the time. Red will be outstanding in a way that it will be screaming out for attention, which doesn't suit everybody's taste. Do update after having experienced the phone
Turned out they didn't cancel my solar red order, well I'll leave it like that, see which color I like and return the other one.

what's wrong with amazon's policy, there's 30 day return period.
