It said ships in 5-6 weeks with a delivery date if November 15-17. Still available now with the same delivery time (XL2).

Trust me, you'll have no issues transferring from iCloud Photos to Google Photos. I've done it myself without issues and the Google Photos app and artificial intelligence is heads and shoulders above those offered by the Photos app in iOS. Google Photos does support live photos.
You'll have no issues reverting back to iCloud either. Make the switch!

I am seriously thinking about the Pixel 2XL. 6 inch OLED screen, 128 GB for $949. Thats cheaper than the X with 64 GB. Plus no bloatware. Basically the same size as an iPhone 8 plus.
Eh. changed to "Just black", it went through. I guess the b/w is super popular. I don't care that much.
My delivery date is October 24-25. So much for the Nov 15th launch of the XL, eh?
Nothing wrong with having an opinion, popular or not, everyone has their own interests. I actually like the 2XL, just think they unnecessarily curved the edges as it’s a non edge to edge phone. I’m sure we will see phones with true edge to edge displays with sensors/cameras behind the glass eventually.
The black/white models have slipped to December in the UK now. Mid November for mine isn't too bad but annoyed I didn't try to order sooner!
Really like the panda white color option, but it's 7 weeks out. Think I'll wait before preordering now, maybe someone else will have in stock sooner ?
The black/white version is ugly af in my opinion, so i'm surprised it's already sold out in the space of a few minutes. The 'just black' is a lot better and sleeker.
I'm not gonna lie: these Pixel phones do seem impressive to me. And they were clearly taking a ditch at Apple a few times. For example, for not excluding features from the smaller model. Or for not needing a second lens to have Portrait Mode.
These definitely look like good phones, and I'm looking forward to the reviews. But nothing will make me want to sell my iPhone 8 Plus. One, because I'm already 'locked' into Apple's ecosystem. Two, because the difference aren't that awfully big. I mean, that camera score that DxOMark? I'm ready to believe that, but those numbers don't mean anything for most users I think. For me, everything that counts is having a good camera. And iPhone 8 Plus has a good camera in my opinion. So there's no complaining about that one. I'm sure the new Pixel's have a great camera too, no doubt about it. Same goes for many other things.
I'm not such a fan of the design though. And those prices... I mean, a few years ago I bought the LG Nexus 5X for just a few hundred bucks. That was a pretty damn good phone. But $849 for the Pixel 2 XL? That's even more than the iPhone 8 Plus, which many people believe is 'too expensive'.
Again, I look forward to the reviews. Let's put these devices next to the iPhone 8 and 8 Plus, and compare them. Or even better, compare them with the iPhone X as soon as that one is out.

The 2 with 64 GB costs $649. The 2 with 128 GB costs $749. The 2XL 64gb costs $849 and the 128gb costs $949.
I don't understand why Google opened up the Pixel for pre-orders immediately while the event was going on?
They should have given people at least 24 hours to make their decision before opening up the store for pre-orders.

Nah, it's actually really smart. The fever to grab it NOW NOW NOW hits folks pretty quickly while watching this. TEch blogs are all acting as advertising platforms by live streaming it.
Great tech but no watch and no real tablet like the ipad makes it a no go for me. No wireless charging either.
Just to answer my own question before:
Pixel 2 in UK and EU has 2 year warranty, unlike apples poxy 12 months
my 'Just black' 5" Pixel 2 is arriving 19th to 23rd Oct with light grey fabric case.
10 year iPhone owner.
Where are folks getting their screen protectors?
thanks

I still think someone could purchase the Google Pixel and an iPad to have the best of both worlds. I don't think there's many competitors To compete with the level of the iPad hardware and iOS , but the Google Pixel is definitely a contender to the iPhone X.
