Does the CPW pixel xl come with an unlocked bootloader like the phones bought from Google play store?

If you bought it online and it's less than 7 working days ago, threaten to return it under the distance selling act unless they give you the discount.

Fastboot and see if device is unlocked, I just wanted to know if it's the same as buying from the play store as those devices are or can be unlocked

Just got mine (Pixel 5" 128GB Black) from cpw and bootloader cannot be unlocked by normal "fastboot oem unlock" or "fastboot flashing unlock" commands. I had to use dePixel8 first and it worked. But this should only work before Android 7.1.1.

Haha. But the benefit is that you can get Nexus Protect on when you order from Google. I just got this for my girlfriend. I'm honored to bring her to the Nexus world. Right now, she's using my old 2013 Moto X Dev that she inherited after she broke her screen and is loving the debloated version of 5.1 that I put on there. She is amazed at how well it runs compared to her 2013 Motomaker Moto X. Little does she know that it only gets better with Nexus devices!
Bh sold out but Amazon still has stock except blue 16gb. Bh accepting back orders at discounted price still.
Glad I waited. I was on the fence about just not getting at all, but for that discount can't pass it up.
Hmm I'm glad I got mine from a shop that pays its taxes in the UK, just saying lol. Honestly though I don't care that I paid full price for the 5x its a good phone, really happy with it. Well apart from the charger dying.

Nice! I just came here to post this and you beat me to it!
The Nexus 6 is $199 for 32GB and $259 for 64GB on Amazon. Going to sell out fast!
I'm my opinion, I would buy a 64GB Nexus 6 for $259 before I spent $350 on a 32GB 5X. Just saying...
I think B&H also has a $25 gc offer on the 32gb 5X.
Bh gift card free also with 16gb.
BH also price matches within 30 days. I have an $80 refund coming!

They must have sold out in like 5 mins because I have been on Amazon all morning and I missed it?!
omg! that is really unbelievable- the amazon deal I mean. I can't believe I didn't catch that. What a score for the ones that got one.

You should read the fine print. I doubt they will price match a black Friday sale.
But good luck with that!

lol agreed. I don't care what anyone says! It sucks when you pay full price for something, and then a big sale hits not that long after. That's life I guess though.
I bought 10 x 64GB Cloud White Nexus 6s though. I couldn't resist at $249.00 each. The $80 discount wasn't enough to risk on buying a bunch of 5Xs...
Luckily I ended up returning my 5X and staying with the Nexus 6, which I will be returning as well now. HaHa.
BH already processed the refund.

Damn nice one man! Most places won't reverse price match black Friday sales, flash sales, etc. You got lucky!
Was considering RMAing my 5x for a VERY pink screen (compared to my gfs 5x, which was already VERY warm). Ordered from b&h and will return my Google order. $350 shipped versus $450, plus a $25 gift card. No brainer if your in your return window.
Got mine from the Play Store. Grabbed the black 16gb for $299. Should be here between the 3rd and the 7th.

Pixel UK Discussion

Evening,
I've pre-ordered the Pixel 128gb in Quite Black (the blue wasn't available--waaah!) and an XL to test which is best for me. Estimated delivery 24-26th Oct.
How about you?
i preordered the 32gb in black, Oct 24, 2016 – Oct 26
i think i read somewhere blue is exclusive to the US
up on CPW with £50 play voucher and shipping by 20th! Damn you El goog
https://www.carphonewarehouse.com/google/pixel.html#!colour=silver&capacity=32GB&dealType=pm
Contracts are a bit steep!
Way way too expensive for me. :crying:
Looks like it will be the one plus 3 for me.
I'm still on my M7 which I bought for £480 when it was new.
So yeaaaah I was not prepared for these prices.
I'd probably pay £550 for a 128GB, 5" Pixel. But that's a full £150 less than what it currently is. I can't justify that, no way.
Guess I'll wait.

M7 here too. Really had my hopes up when rumours of an HTC Nexus started. Now the Pixel is here I can't justify the cost. There's nothing extraordinary and the real killer for me is the software update support hasn't been changed from the Nexus.
I pre ordered the Pixel 32gb then cancelled the order when my sanity kicked back in. I'm just going to keep my Nexus 6P for another year. I can live without google assistant and the pixel launcher. That being said I am really excited to see what google does with the pixel brand.
I ordered the Pixel 128GB in black from CPW - tried to order on the Google Store, but it broke (clicked to confirm purchase and it just looked at me like a demented labrador). Same price as a ludicrously expensive iPhone 7, but I wanted a 'pure android' phone with the latest updates, enough storage and wanted it to fit comfortably in my pocket - so either pay silly money or compromise on one of my three requirements.
Website initially indicated delivery date of October 20th, but showed October 21st when I ordered. Presumably at these prices there won't be the long waiting lists that there were for the 6P and the 5.
I was very disappointed to see that the pricing is inline with the Apple iPhone 7. Weird, as previous Google phones (Nexus) were priced considerably much lower. I wonder where the spike in price has come from? Google trying to be as greedy as Apple?

Massive price difference compared to the new Google Pixel!
The blue colour kinda looks a bit too plastic for my liking

This is XDA, I am sure your 6P will be able to get the Pixel Launcher and or Assistant. If you root it, in time you'll probably get the same Pixel experience on your 6P.
So So disappointed with the pixel phones and their prices, what was Google thinking?
Mine's on order from CPW. Delivery for 20th October. It was expensive but I figured if I didn't order it, every day I would waste time thinking about ordering it. I was like this with the Moto Z; ordered it, and then sent it back.
Thinking now though...would the Moto Z be a better phone in the end...hmmmm
I may have accidentally ordered one (Black 128GB) direct from the Google Store as I'm thinking the customer services will be better based on past experience if I get any problems.
I was torn between the Pixel and Pixel XL. Given I have a 6P the XL would have been the natural choice, however I don't think I can justify the extra cost (hard enough to justify as it is). Plenty of time to cancel/change my mind though
Same here @Azarin. 128gb in black.
The XL price was just a stretch too far, plus, I only have small hands
Ordered from Google, IMO the customer support is better than CPW. I have sent things back to google in the past without issue.
Soon I will be retiring my Honor 5x (which was a standby phone after my MotoX Style broke, and they couldn't repair it...long story..)
I've been hanging on to my HTC One M8 waiting on the new phones to be announced. The price is quite steep but is compounded by the raw deal for UK purchases.
The Pixel is 650 USD in the US which is just under 510GBP. In the US you get the DayDream Viewer chucked in as a sweetener - but not in the UK. If you want to buy that (once available) its an additional 69 GBP
So, UK price for the pack is 668GBP v 510 GBP for the same in the US......which seems to be completely taking the p!ss - 30% dearer...
I'm wondering if I should sensibly look at something else - Oneplus 3??

Op3 tempting but bigger than I really want.
I've pre-ordered on EE with an early upgrade, only a few days early.
Will this phone have loads of **** installed from EE or will this be just a google phone?
I hate it when carriers put their **** on it!

Best Reason to NOT Get a Pixel!

Looks like I will be going with the S7. Why?
Well the reviews of the Pixel sound great! But I cannot find it ANYWHERE.
I can find some hanging around Verizon and Best Buy, but everyone only has the 32 GB version. For a phone that has no expandable memory option, youd think they would make the 128GB version available somewhere? If it is, Id love for someone to clue me in because I sure cant find it!

I bought mine via Telus in Canada. I had to order it online because stores don't carry it, but it only took a week to arrive so I was very happy with that. I'm like you, I would be okay with 32gb today, but what about a years from now, or two years down the road, how much of that 32gb will actually be useable after Android 9 gets installed.
Does Verizon have the 128GB Pixel with free 2 day shipping? It seemed to be that way when I looked. Verizon was also showing a select phone list that included 50% off a second phone, which included the Pixel. I'm not exactly sure what the terms are, but it looked like they were reducing the retail price of the second phone on a payment plan. It also seems the $300 in account credits over two years for a $1 phone trade is also still available. Otherwise, it looks like the Google Store is showing the 128GB black in a couple weeks. I don't know if there are any phones set aside for quicker Google Fi orders.
When I called Verizon they said the only thing they had in store was 32GB but perhaps it can be ordered via the website.
However the Verizon rep I spoke to said that corporate Verizon stores will not sell it without a Verizon plan - and I was looking to purchase for use on AT&T.
If I was paying for service direct from AT&T, I'd personally go with a certified AT&T device, in order to get things like HD Voice. I don't think Google has paid to certify the device on AT&T, so I don't think you would get items like HD Voice with the Pixel. Anyway, if you want 128GB and don't want wireless service the only option is direct from Google, and they were showing a shipping date of November 22 on the black phone this morning.
I ordered the Verizon 128gb Pixel last Friday and paid to have it over nighted to me. I got it Saturday morning.

Guess they went out of stock on the black 5" 128GB within a day or two. Anyone know how long it usually takes them to get it back in stock?
Can anyone who ordered this phone through Verizon advise whether and how they did so without taking out a Verizon plan?
I went to order it online but couldnt find a way to just buy the phone without needing a Verizon plan alongside?
