Who's ordered then?

Ordered a black one from Google. Delivery 15-17 Nov. A bit worried now the photo samples have been posted that I've made a mistake.

I'm gonna await reviews first and let stock settle down before making any firm decisions, my 6P still serving me very well so far.

Black 64GB Delivery 15-17 Nov.
upgrading from a samsung S6

I've ordered from Google the XL 64gb panda, unfortunately for me my ship date is 18th December!! Weighing up whether to cancel and order from Carphone Warehouse as their ship date is listed as 20th November. I'm really looking forward to getting it as it's the first phone that's really piqued my interest since my trusty Nexus 6.

Ordered mine from CPW as google was saying end of December . 64gb panda due 20 th November

On announcement day I also got a text from EE to say I could upgrade early (from my 6P) so before I could stop myself I'd pre-ordered the 64gb all black version. I hate having to pay out on a two year contract but I'm a full time student and just can't afford to buy outright.... Well I could but it wouldn't eat or have electricity for a month or two lol. I went full stock (for the first time in years) when I initially flashed the first develop preview of Oreo so it should hopefully feel like a seamless upgrade. In fact I'll use my 6p to root, Rom and flash now I'm getting a shiny new Pixel XL.

Ordered the Pixel 2 XL 128GB black on the day of announcement, expected to arrive between 15-17th Nov, hope it's sooner

Just watched the link you shared, the video stabilisation on the Pixel 2 XL was light years better than the iPhone plus..... Can't wait to try that feature out myself now.

Ordered 64Gb Black from Google on day of launch, delivery is slated for 15th to 17th Nov
Wouldn't have minded the panda but when google predicted delivery 21st Dec I decided against it

Ordered 128gb Panda from EE can't wait to start working on custom roms

I take it no one has the shipped notification yet?

Also ordered on the launch day directly from Google - black with 64GB memory.
My current phone is Nexus 6P with battery issues and it will be going to Huawei for repairs once I get 2XL delivered.

Nexus 5x Canada Thread

Thought I'd get things started and set up this thread. Anyone have any info on the Canadian version?
Sent from my Nexus 5 using XDA Free mobile app
Nope but looking forward to the release. Hopefully the release will be similar to the n5 and not the n6. Ended up canceling my order on the n6 and finding it locally
http://www.androidpolice.com/2015/0...r-29th-in-the-u-s-uk-korea-japan-and-ireland/
"The pre-orders will only be available on the Google Store, not in carrier stores, that's what we're hearing, and for the Nexus 5X, they'll be live in the US, UK, Korea, Japan, and Ireland. Yeah, I see no Canada in that list. That's... weird. Maybe our friends in the Great White North will have to wait a bit to get their hands on the least expensive of the two Nexuses."
http://www.androidpolice.com/2015/0...6p-and-5x-wont-have-wireless-charging-either/
"Google decided to skip wireless charging on both devices. That decision didn't come lightly though and the thinking behind it is that USB-C will offer much faster charging than wireless."
I wonder if you'll be able to buy them through the play store, you can buy apps/movies/books but why not phones?
I'll be bummed if I can't order one tomorrow.
I might have a friend of mine bring one up for me, we shall see.

Ouch $849 that's pricey, the 5x will probably be $529/$599 cad. Im out, not paying $700 after taxes/shipping for a phone that barely has any new upgrades compared to my nexus 5.
Wow, I did not realize how much CAD lost value over USD. Back on N5 release, the rates were closer.

They were 1:1 back then, my n5 was $399 cad back then. Now its brutal, 40% higher.
From what I read, the price on the Canadian 32GB 5X will be 559.00. I ordered mines from States, so I can get the $50 Google play card. Plus, is cheaper in US when you do the exchange rate.
Just ordered my 5X from canada, it's up.
Ordered two 32GB just now.
Just preordered the 32GB carbon. Looking forward to going back to a normal sized phone (currently own the n6)
I decided to pre-order a 32GB Carbon. I wasn't really paying attention and I seem to have put my order in almost an hour after some of you here. My estimated delivery is October 22 - 29
I just ordered 2 32GB. My estimated delivery is oct. 22-29 as well. I'm pretty excited. Anyone else order the 5x case?

That's reassuring. I have never ordered an OEM case, including both the Nexus phones I have owned. I also ordered the flip case for the wife so we'll see how it works out as well.
In the shipping waiting room thread quite a few people noticed the status of their orders changed this morning from "pre-ordered" to "pending". Mine has also changed. I'm not expecting one but it would be nice to see a shipping confirmation email sooner than expected.

Verizon Preorder and Order shipping thread

Hi everyone,
It seems like the reg preorder and shipping thread is dominated by Google store order. I thought I'd make a place for just Verizon orders. It's pretty hard to see a trend with Verizon orders. Not as many orders as Google Store ones. I've seen very little 128gb XL Pixels being shipped if any.
Ordered very silver XL 128gb 11/1 expected 12/9.
Ordered 10-23, expected 12-2. I hope it's sooner than later like some in the other thread. I ordered 128gb black
Ordered late 10/31 w/ SAVE20 code, expected 12/9, 128 GB Black
update 1: Just checked Verizon webpage on 11/11 and both XL 128 GBs are now showing ships by 12/26/2016
Ordered 10/20 128gb black ship date 11/18....says pending for about 9 days

Makes sense, since I just read this article
http://www.techtimes.com/articles/1...delayed-shipping-date-now-moved-to-nov-26.htm
Last night my order disappeared from Verizon's website, luckily it is back again, but mine still shows a 12/9 ship date.
For some reason my order disappeared anyone else order do that?
My order shows up with the pre-order number, but the status does not show up, whereas, yesterday it showed 'processing.' It also does not show the order for the return shipping box (for $300 trade-in) that was there yesterday.
I ordered my Pixel XL 128GB Black on 10/14. The original ship date was 10/20 but received an email stating that they were unable to ship it on that date. The new ship date was changed to 11/18. I checked back after a couple weeks and my order status changed to shipped. I received the phone on 11/2.
I ordered a new Pixel XL 128GB White for my wife yesterday. My order status page shows the phone but everything else is blank. On the phone page prior to the order it said the ship date is 12/26. I spoke with a sales rep and they told me that is an estimated ship date and that it could be shipped sooner. I guess we shall see.

Same here - ordered 128GB QB XL on 10/19. This morning still showed up as processing with expected (original) ship date of 11/18. As of this afternoon, number and acknowledgment that phone was ordered are still up but all details are gone - no processing, no other status and no ship date.
I ordered the 128 pixel XL in black on 10/18 with expected ship date 11/18 and it still sits at processing. Have not received any delayed emails of any kind yet. Love my Note 7 but ready to be done and move on.

My order keeps appearing and disappearing unfortunately.
Anytime it appears, it doesn't show the ship date nor that it is processing. Something fishy is going on with their website and app.
Ordered 10/18 expected ship date was 11/11.
Got an email saying new ship date will be 11/26. Sigh I don't think they even know when they will have enough to send.

Yep pre-ordered this morning online. Ship date was 19-21 Apr.
I have indeed, Midnight Black. I got told over the phone while making the order that it would arrive on the 29th but on the website it states the 20th for pre-orders. Hope it's the latter! I'm getting it from my network on contract this time though, not buying from Samsung directly.
Yep, preordered mine. Midnight Black. Didn't get any info about the VR though, does that come later?
Vr does not ship with phone. You submit a scan of the receipt and upload it to samsung promo site and then it ships direct from them in 4 weeks or so. Same as it was for S7
Ordered mine last night at 12:06am. Midnight Black S8+. Going to be sexy as hell. Ship date of 4/20-21. Also getting the VR bundle as promo for preorder. Considering paying the extra $99 for the AKG over the ear headphones + 256gb sd card.
http://imgur.com/001E1R6
The ones from Samsung supposedly arrive on the 20th and they include the promotional items. No filling out forms or wating for them to process and ship it separately.
Mine was a complete rigmarole. When I moved from the V10 to the V20 because the V10 just stopped working, they took away my Jump and then when I wanted to upgrade to the S8+ I was told I'd have to pay full price.
Next breath, the rep said, "If only you had Jump..." I lost it on her and told her I was told I couldn't keep jump. Very long silence, and she comes back with, not sure why you were told that, maybe we can put it back. An hour late, and a supervisor re-established Jump and I was able to upgrade to the S8+. Very weird they are stripping people of their Jump when it wasn't sunsetted at all.

Are they not unlocked from Samsung in US then? They are from the UK.
I've ordered from Samsung directly this time as CPW ballsed up the note 7 recall so I'd rather go direct. I'm not sure that will result in better service but hey ho.
just ordered mine in Sweden.. We don't seem to get anything extra with it.. No offers for early ordering at all. which sucks.. Got the Arctic Silver, delivery expected on the 20th April.

Preordered a midnight black AT&T S8+ from best buy the night of the 30th. A $100 savings was too good to pass up. Anybody with experience on best buy phone preorders? Is it likely to arrive by the 21st? Or earlier?

pre-ordered 2 Black Pixel 2 XL's 64gb.
XL 2 Black 64GB, order placed 1029 PDT, shipping date Oct 17, estimated arrival 18 or 19.
In past experience, because the drop ship location is only about 30 miles from me, I usually get it same day as shipping.
I got my order in for the Pixel 2 Xl just black 128gb version, happy I didn't wait and just ordered it. I was going to go with the 64gb version and kinda mad I didn't save the $100. Currently my phone has almost 40gb used and that is after almost a year or use without removing anything. Guess I would rather have more than half of my storage available instead more than half taken.
Pixel 2 XL Black pre-ordered with trade-in of $410 after receiving... Ships around Oct 17.
Did anyone see the Trade-in Kit info on there Google email order confirmation? I'm not seeing it...

Did google hold authorization from anyone ?

Nice.... That’s the earliest I’ve seen. I ordered the 128 GB as well. My ship date is November 6th, with delivery of 8-9th. Crazy how ordering a couple minutes later, can mean a couple more weeks until you actually have your phone. Maybe we’ll get them early, like some of us did, last year.

That's not bad at all! I've seen a lot of late Nov orders. The earliest I think I've seen for the ? was a day or two before mine, not sure.. getting too excited
Yes, I had forgotten that some of the Pixel and Pixel XL orders were shipped early last year, until I saw on one of the other posts, where people were talking about it. Some got theirs a couple weeks early. Don't want to get anyone's hopes up, but it's happened before.
I'm hoping they ship early. I got a November 20th ship date but noticed today the hold on my credit card was gone which is interesting....
Edit: Apparently the hold is supposed to disappear. I was under the impression it stayed on the card until it shipped and the pending charge would be finalized but apparently that's not how it is handled.
Hopefully they come early than its listed but it weird that when they first when live they were going out of stock then they would become available again that was happening for like the whole next day thats how i was able to order a second one.
