This will be my first Pixel phone. Typically, is the Pixel only available for pre-order from the Google Store at launch or were they available at any brick and mortar stores?
Thanks

They just released it. Shipping next week. Only brick and mortar will be VZ for the VZ version which is unlockable.

Best Buy will carry the Verizon version as well.
Was/Is the Pixel 2 (unlocked) available in the US in shops? Hoping the Pixel 3 will be.

All Pixel Phones are Carrier/Sim unlocked. The bootloader is the only thing that is unlocked on NON-verizon pixels.
Ah right. So that means you can forget rooting on Verizon devices right?

Any Canadians order the Pixel 3?
Im not sure.
I dont want to order yet. Im pretty much set on the size of the phone. Which will be the small one but i do want to feel it and play with it. See how i like the smaller screen to body. I have S8+. I love S8 but that phone has a bigger screen than P3.
I also am using Tmobile, so im worried if there is a difference between US phones and Canada variants i may experience difficulties with service. Like with my Freedom's S8+ i have now.
I pre-ordered both but I am going to cancel one one of these days. I am learning towards the smaller one (to buy).
pre ordered through Bell. White 64. Waiting until the 1st is gonna be tough lol
Ordered Black XL, deliver should of been nov 6.
Had a change of heart once i played with both today and saw white color. Cancelled my old order and preordered White XL. Del is now nov 16 =(

Yeah same thing. The camera is amazing, the phone build is top quality. I don't regret this purchase at all, as I did use an iPhone X before this
The sides of the phone (other than jerryrigeverything) was really covered little by the media. It almost feels like ceramic with the "Powder coating"-esque paint job.
I'm really hoping eSIM support for Rogers comes out soon after the iPhone XS Max iOS 12.1 launch tomorrow.

Delayed shipping date on a case and stand... Either way, I'm coming from a Huawei mate 10 that got busted. Kid gave me $900 so Pixel 3 it is!
May be color too. Mine is white, I'm guessing most will go for black
Got mine yesterday, and the stand came the day before.
Original delivery date was 15-16.

Don't thinks so.
I had it for one week before get rid of it.
I can't handle those rediculous holes.
The position of power button is completely off.
Also lacking many features Oxygen will offer me.
Also a tone of bloatware as much one UI bring improvements Sammy needs to polished their UI and much less bloatware offers.
Navigation gesture compered to one oneplus offer is completely garbage.
Also I didn't like the yellowish white color tone of the screen.
No matter adjustable manual the white tone I couldn't find the ideal color for my eyes and taste preferences.
Note 9 white color tone of the screen is superior to those at s10 plus.

Google has been acting like Apple since Pixel 1, A greedy company that puts the minimum specs in their flagships and selling them at the highest possible price.
Pixel 4 and 4 XL are no exception, I can tell that based on the shameful looking and shameful leaked specs. Google as a smartphone maker does not listen to their loyal audience, unlike others.

I haven't used AOD or a light notification in a very long time. I just checked my phone way too often. LOL
I'm actually looking forward to a properly working AOD. Would prefer an LED, but considering OP doesn't offer either, it's a step up either way, for me. Can't get rid of this POS OP6T fast enough. Is the hardware in the 6T in some ways better than the P4, sure. But the software is atrocious. That's where I feel google will shine.
As I agree that Google is becoming Apple like, they still put out a great phone at a much lower price than Apple.
Corporations are greed personified. Anyone who thinks otherwise should immediately sell their house and send the money to me. I promise I'll use it to fight corporate greed. A small percentage may go towards wine, questionable women, and gambling. The rest I'll waste but don't worry about that, just send the money and I promise I'll use it every bit as responsibly as the CEO of corporation X would spend it.
I invite you to stop telling me what to think
The reality is that people have unknowingly boycotted all of the Pixel devices until the Pixel 3a series (which has the highest sales numbers of any of the Pixel phones). It still didn't stop Google from pushing out new phones each year.
If anything, the Pixel 4 series will be the most successful flagship series phone Google has ever produced. That's because it is the first phone to be available on every major US carrier.
The OnePlus series was a natural boycott...
Google spokesperson confirms that Pixel 4 and 4XL won't be landing on our shores.
After spending 2 tearsbwith a Pixel XL, I was really looking forward to upgrading to the 4XL. Alas!!
Code:
“We determine availability based on a variety of factors, including local trends, and product features. We decided not to make Pixel 4 available in India. We look forward to bringing future Pixel devices to India.”
This is pretty disappointing as some users still want to buy pixel phone in India I hope Google gets approval from govt. for launching these phones in India. I think i would wait for sometime if some positive news comes in future otherwise I will try if I can buy from US and get it shipped to India.

It's got nothing to do with they won't, they can't. India won't let them. So instead of yelling at Google, go yell at your own damn government.

What you guys think the price will fall too? $699?
I would say $200 off each model like last year
I jumped on the Verizon deal and saved 450 with a pixel XL.
Ordered mine from Amazon just got an updated email saying delivery a week from Monday (11/11). If the price drops within the 30 day return period, Amazon will make it right. So after $100.00 gift certificate and hopefully another $200.00 Black Friday the phone will be worth what it should cost. ($699.00)

I don't think Google will give you anything off.. well maybe a hundred or two but that's it. The carriers on the other hand will give you half off, no trade in required although perhaps another line added. But then you run the risk of bootloader locked, carrier locked for 60 days or more and being locked into 2 years of service because you only get a monthly credit over two years. But there should be some BF leaks in the coming weeks so you never know. At this point you might as well wait and see since it's only a few weeks.

I don't think they'll make the same mistake as last year. And piss people off who pre-ordered again. Plus the pixel 4 is widely available. All carriers and big box stores are selling it. Pixel 3 last year was a very poor seller. So in that case it was a supply-and-demand thing.. my wife got a pre-order verizon 4xl for 450 dollars off. I jumped on a unlocked one at Best buy with $100 gift card. Both those deals lasted a week. And I don't think Black Friday will match them.
Hopefully I'm wrong either way I don't regret my decision to pre-order this time.
They'll probably have the exact same deals as last year at this time. Here in PR the phone has been out since launch and AT&T, Best Buy, and most T-Mobile stores haven't even put out a demo unit. Only one T-Mobile store had it out for display and the sales clerks told me that it's practically invisible. People look at it and ask where the Note or iPhones are. Go to the Google Store and the smaller phones (except maybe the not so orange, although I'm not sure) never sold out.
Google knows it has to be aggressive, the s11 will be out in a few months and the Pixel will already be yesterday's news, unfortunately.
I remember when the Nexus phones had the fastest chip and processor because they waited until the end of the year to get the latest and greatest and everyone else played catch up. Now it's the other way around. It's a damn shame.
All that said, I'm definitely getting one as soon as I see the deals out there for Black Friday.

They made the same "mistake" with the Pixel 2, though the sale was only $100 of if I recall. And more sellers competing and more availability means better sales. THAT is supply and demand.
Returned mine. When the deals show up maybe I'll buy again. Unfortunately for me it was too much for not enough that matters to me (motion sense is a gimmick I'll never use). Obviously everyone's situation is different.

Pixel 3xl is still a great phone. I still have it. Although for the price and features I bought the 7T after returning the 4xl. It's close enough to the pixel for me and I saved a considerable amount of money.
In the end Google wants to charge premium prices, but always cut corners somewhere happens every year. 4xl will be a great phone I'm sure just probably the first pixel I'll not own.

I was looking at that 7t, but not having wireless charging is a deal breaker for me. It’s like having a flip phone all over again. lol
Every phone I’ve had since 2012 has had wireless charging, starting with the Verizon exclusive, Droid DNA. Then LG’s G2, G4, Samsung’s S8, S9, Note 9, and now current LG v30.
