I had a similar experience with USPS several years ago. I purchased an item and the package was stuck between to distribution centers for close to 3 weeks. The funny part about it was I actually called USPS and explained it to them. The package had my correct address and zipcode but for whatever reason, it kept bouncing between two DC's. I never saw the package.
I called both of the locations and was told there’s nothing they can do and to file a complaint with their consumer affairs department. I’m honestly curious how long this will go on.

Free claim received in UK. Running on EE at the moment. Obsidian looks quite seamless with Ringke cover.

I am really tempted to get a Pixel 7 at $499 or the Pro but I have an s22 plus.

In some ways unless I get the Pro the 7 seems like a big downgrade and even the Pro in some ways. The tensor G2 is not as fast as the 8 Gen 1 and is on 5nm vs 4nm on the SD 8 Gen 1.

Also the screen tech is not as good.

But the cameras and Pixel software is very tempting. Google doesn't need the best hardware either as I have never had a Pixel feel slow.

So I am really torn. If I traded in my s22 the Pixel 7 would be free and if I got the Pro it would be just over $200.

But then in January s23 with 8 Gen 2 will launch and 8 Gen 2 is a serious upgrade. It would probably cost the same if I trade in my s22 plus for a s23 plus but I also like the higher resolution of the 7 Pro?

I just don't know what to do.

I prefer stock Android but OneUI isn't bad.....

Anybody have thoughts based on their experience with the new Pixels and maybe previous experience with S22 series??

Yeah if I had a S22 Pro I wouldn't have got a Pixel. I just been going the Pixel routes lately because they are cheaper (4a & 7) with trade in's.

Looking for a cheaper way tom get a S22( not the pro) for my wife hasn't been easy.

I actually like One UI and the extras Samsung gives. Even Pixel gives me a few apps I can't delete. Only disable.

I went from the base S22 to the Pixel 7 (non-pro) and don't miss anything from the S22, aside from maybe the speakers and the smaller form factor.

I would personally hold the S 22+ until the S 23 comes out so you can use it with a nice trade-in value and try out that chip GEN 2… at the price of $499 I would just pick up the Pixel 7 and see how ya like it ..that’s if you have cash to spend

Doesn't work for me. Too bad..for $399 I would have taken the plunge. Tried Pro too just to see and no dice.

That would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you
Thing is, I don't know WHEN I'll get it. Someone used the most recent one yesterday, I may not get it until Monday or Tuesday, I know the first one was used sometime during the week, I got the new code Friday and it was used right away.

As long as it is before the 28th then I can take advantage of the code and sale. That would be great.

But if you don't get one then it was simply nice of you to offer and I appreciate it either way!

I'm starting to enjoy using the themed icons on my home screen, but I just don't understand why the really popular apps haven't been updated yet?! I'm having to stash apps away in folders like Instagram / Twitter as the app is still the normal style.
If WhatsApp can be updated, why not them?!

I know you can get icon packs but that means changing launchers and I dont want to use a third party launcher as Pixel launcher works great for me. This issue aside 😋.

Just took the plunge and ordered the pro after having a mess with it yesterday in store.
Make sure you use someone's Superfan code. There's one listed above from a member and I have one too if you need it. It's a $100 store credit for both you and the Superfan member.
