Just got my tracking number 2 minutes ago! I paid for next day so I'm getting mine tomorrow!
Sent from my SM-G900V using XDA Free mobile app

Mine just shipped via FedEx and will be delivered on Friday!

Mine is coming on friday also. Glad everyone seems to have theirs shipped.
Now we just need s-off because I will still run my m8 till we get full root for custom roms, I will just tinker with my m9 till then.
Anyone have a java card or know much about them ?
I"am interested cost wise and if they only work so many times or ?

Yes, you buy the java card with a certain amount of credits. They can only be used a certain number of times. I think these run about 1200-1500. I thought they came with 500 credits but may be mistaken.
What kills me is mine is sitting in the FedEx facility 25 minutes from my house and I know they won't deliver early. UPS does at times but I've never seen FedEx deliver early.
jcase has already said he is sure they can get S-Off on the M9 so most likely will get It soon after we get our M9's

Mine is on vehicle for delivery! I'll post pictures when I get it!

I got it! Now to set it up!

Nice! I assume you did 1 day delivery? What are your initial thoughts?
Looks like you work in a car dealer

Its In
Finally got it in. M8 on the left and M9 on the right. Cant wait for root and custom recovery.

I will get mine tomorrow I believe verizon had fed ex delay my delivery until friday, because mine ewas picked up like 2am in pa then went to newark nj and sat there for 11 hours.
Many times I get ground shipments from pa to ohio in one day and 2 day is supposed to be faster so I really should have received mine today but THANK YOU VERIZON for that.

Yeah, 1 day delivery. I'm really liking it! The biggest change exterior wise besides the camera is the sharp edges which I'm really enjoying. I already adjusted the settings on the camera as per that camera post on the picture quality thread said and the pictures do look better.
Also, no heating problems, even when I was installing all 40+ apps from Google's backup and another 15 updates after that.
I like it a lot, and all I have to say about the haters on Sammy's side is that, finally the got to beat HTC with their camera and got close to the One lineup build quality and they are roaring out of control about it... I guess they couldn't say much about HTC before and now they are parading about it.
Hope you guys get yours soon!

Mine arrived yesterday! I've had it now for 24 hours.

I have had mine for a little over 24 hours and so far I'm fairly impressed with the speed
Pro's:
Much faster. The whole experience just seems quicker. Bench test scores are off the chart.
Pictures certainly are clearer with far better detail.
Sense 7 is an improvement over 6 (as soon as we have S-Off and GPE, Sense is history anyway)
Cons:
Don't like the volume button placement
When you push it, this phone gets pretty warm. Even through a case I feel it getting warm when pushing it.
Not a big enough change to switch from the M8 for most people (I Edged up after a year)
Neutral:
Battery life still a question. Took 3 hours to charge to 100 from 50 and just sitting overnight lost 13% with no use. OS may need some time to stabilize or could be because I have been running GPE on the M8 which was great on battery.

Pixel XL out of stock everywhere in the U.S.

What's the real story as to where the Pixel XL is in the U.S. ?
- Google's own website says sign up for a news letter as to when the phone will be back in stock sometime next year
- Verizon is out of stock on the XL for two months !!!
- BestBuy discontinued the XL, will not carry it anymore
What's up with BestBuy discontinuing and not carrying or selling the XL anymore ?
My guess this falls on HTC's manufacturing capabilities, I bet the Pixel and Pixel XL, have sold more than the entire run of HTC Ten this year. And maybe HTC just can't keep up with demand, and now Google is scrambling behind the scenes. Or maybe Google wasn't thinking like they typically do on Nexus launches, and completely underestimate how many will sell ?
Sometimes I think the Nexus and now Pixel line is just some little pet project in the basement at Google's headquarters, with just the ultra nerd team working on it, with like 1% help from the upper brass and management. At the end of the day selling HTC made Google phones isn't making them their billion$.

I just bought one from the Google store about twenty minutes ago. I kept loading the page and every now and then it would show in stock. Had it in my cart once and at checkout it glitched and went away, second time it went through. I am guessing they are only allowing one sale every so often so they can keep up.
Black 32gb xl, 2-3 week estimate for shipping fyi...

What I know for shure is, that one of HTC bigger Factories got destroyed by a Tsunami (also some more like some from Canon and so on), and the Parts they need, can only be manufatured slower than before.
And also due to the huge demand of the bigger variants they arent able to accomplish their request. I have pre Ordered the Pixel XL 128 GB Quite Black in Germany, and eventhough I had pre Ordered, I had to wait nearly 1 1/2 Months to get it.
Gesendet von meinem Pixel XL mit Tapatalk

I ordered mine in Google store Germany on 16th of December and was delivered on 22nd

Got my 128 from Verizon and it took 2 days. It originally said won't ship til Dec 28 but ended up taking 2 days.

For 900 dollars you can get a piece of **** phone!
I know, I got one!

I ordered mine through a Verizon deal on the 19th of december, estimated delivery date is the 18th of January. Still waiting unfortunately.

I ordered my phone on 12/19 was suppose to ship on the 28th, instead I got the notice that it was delayed 2 months. I wonder if this phone will turn out to be a great phone but extremely rare. It's bad when Bestbuy stops carrying the phone.

I was lucky. I woke up at 03:00 am and couldn't go back to sleep, so I got on the web. Went to several places looking for 128gb Pixel XL and it was atrocious. $1600 on Amazon. Goughers!!! Anyways, I went to eBay and was looking and all of the sudden I found 128g used Pixel XL. I couldn't believe my eyes. Well, I bought it. Says it's in good condition. We'll see. Anyways, hope it works out. I'm currently using Pixel 5.0 and I love this thing. I had a note 7 and I finally turned it on last week. no regrets.

Yeah what the heck is up with that?
Google will never catch Apple like this. Really frustrating. I've read many reviews of iPhone lovers making the switch and adoring this phone but maybe make it available??

My Nexus 6 is starting to die off, and I'm in the market for a new device. I've been eyeing the Pixel XL since it was announced, and now I can't find one. I looked at Best Buy, but they don't carry the 128gb models, and the price of the 32 P and PXL are inflated.
So, with the "shortage" I feel like I'm in a weird place. Currently, only the OnePlus 3T and the Pixel XL are attractive, and both are out of stock and at minimum weeks away.
Not sure if I should keep waiting for the PXL at this point, or just look for something new coming out in the spring.

Ebay

Does anyone know why BestBuy officially stopped selling the Pixel XL ? Their website says product discontinued or something ? But they still sell the tiny Pixel.
I went to BB today, asked a cell phone salesperson about the XL he said Best Buy took that product off the system and they no longer offer it.
I asked if they'll get it back in the near future ? He said he wasn't sure.
This sucks, because I got a crap load of BB gift certificates for Christmas and I had a few left over from my Birthday totaling $350 now, and was gonna purchase a Pixel XL outright, but tyry don't sell the phone anymore.

Exactly how the 6P sold. Always sold out and you're lucky to get one.

It's all kind of ridiculous. I checked with my Verizon store. You cannot get a Pixel XL, or even Pixel 128GB within 100 miles of me at any store. All colors. I then talked to the corporate people and they said they have called 19 different stores across 5 states and none of them had any of these aforementioned models within 100 miles of there either.
I think Google is really dropping the ball. I get trying to drive up interest by making it seem like everyone wants it so it's perpetually out of stock, but most people won't wait a month or longer for a phone - they'll just get the next "droid" over from that one (probably an S7 Edge the way Verizon employees love Samsung and push them so hard).
I'm really rooting for this phone like to knock Samsung and Apple a bit, but they need to learn to manufacture a little quicker or get better forecasts of sales. For a company based on algorithms, their forecast algorithm sure does suck tremendously.

It really is unbelievable how Google can miscalculate and underestimate how many units they need to produce for stock. I could see when the phone first launched they may have been caught off guard how much of a hit seller this would be.
But it's been out for three months already. They should have a firm grasp where they need to be production wise.
And to have it sold out for 6 to 8 more weeks still. Wow.
Once Sansung releases the Galaxy S8 in March / April, the Pixel line will see a major drop in sales, and will just be the ultra nerd geek phone again like the Nexus phones. The average buying public will for sure be tempted by the new S8.
Even though myself I still prefer a good stock Android phone #1, I'd take a Pixel XL over the S8 Plus phone. But most people won't.

All very true. Most people love Samsung now since it has become almost as well known as Apple. I mean, I hear people say, "do you have an iPhone or a Galaxy?" Talk about an ignorant question, but that's people's mentality about phones. Google can change that with the next few iterations of the Pixel as people get more familiar with the name (if Google keeps pushing it with the ads too!) but they need to learn how to produce phones that are in high demand. It's really disappointing and frustrating.

Ordered mine December 16th and it still says January 20th expected ship date.

I ordered a Pixel XL 32GB black December 20th and it's listed as Pending with an estimated shipping date between January 13 and 17.

Conspiracy theory here, tinfoil hat time. What if the Pixel actually was selling very well on Verizon from Oct - Dec. which I think it was, and now it's out of stock. But what if the big guys like Samsung and LG got pissed they had competition from Google directly, and viewed this Pixel phone as a threat, and maybe they made a stink about it ?
That also begs the question, maybe Google didn't originally allow the Pixel phones to be on all U.S. carriers for a reason, knowing if it got real popular and was a success, it might dent into the sales of the big Android players like Samsung, LG, Motorola, etc... And then a **** storm would brew up.

Chances of Pixel 2 XL selling out?

I don't see any benefit with pre-ordering it as I will be waiting weeks till I actually get my purchase and I can pass on the google home mini so I rather just buy it when it actually releases but I don't want to be in the same situation as others had when the Pixel XL released. So if anyone can help me decide if I should preorder or if I should be good when the Pixel 2 XL actually releases. Im hoping Google learns from their mistakes and makes enough Pixel 2 XLs for everyone:fingers-crossed: also I plan on getting 128gb btw if that helps. Thanks!

If it's been like every other year, you can guarantee it. You can set your watch to it. Ordering problems, whatever you can think of.
It's going to be a cluster ****. So, if you want one, take tomorrow off work and be prepared to get a new F5 key or keyboard.

I m optimistic that this year will be better than last. After at least a couple years now where Google has had a hard time keeping stock, they've hopefully learned their lesson. They dumped a bunch of money into LG's screen division this year, hopefully to help up production. Also, the pixel 2 will have a more typical development window (maybe) than the pixel which went from concept to production in an un characteristically short amount of time. Finally, while LG is no Samsung, I think they are bigger than HTC with greater production capabilities. Hopefully these things add up to a better stock of phones at release. Of course, there are no guarantees.

I've pre-ordered every year and have always had a negative inventory experience! Guess we'll find out soon if this launch is different...

Placed my order for Pixel XL 2 during the show.
Shipment 1 Delivery October 19–October 20
Pixel 2 XL (64 GB, Just Black)
$849.00
Quantity: 1

Its already unavailable!

I ordered mine during the event as well, 2 XL 128GB just black. I was going to go with the 64gb version but looked at my phone and saw I would only have about 20gb left if mine was 64gb (I have a 128gb currently). That is one years worth of use on my Pixel XL and I haven't removed anything from my device. I think I would rather have less than 50% used than more than, so wasted the extra $100.

Pixel 2 128XL Black pre-ordered 11:15pst, Ships around Oct 17...

I'm holding off on buying 2 XL until enough user feedback shows Google solved the LTE cellular data thing.

100% chance. They probably have like 5 in stock right now.

A bit off topic.
Did you guys saw that there were 3 phones on the Google family photos.
And in the live demo the appointment Pixel Ultra.
Maybe the leak last week was true or Google saw it and is making a huge joke.

Preordered 2 XL's 128GB's in the Panda color, says Nov 8-9th for date

google screwed up this phone with those bezels so they won't be running out of stock since people are leaning towards the s8+ note 8..

I experienced the same $#!+ show I expected after being a part of the Nexus 5, 6P, and Pixel launch. I tried for hours to get a black and white 2 XL to go through the checkout process. As always, you can thank the garbage people of eBay.

Anyone who thinks S8 is better than Pixel XL is ignorant.

I casually ordered a black XL a while after it went live, had 0 issues and it is suppose to be delivered between Oct 24th and 27th.
Really looking forward to finally having something worth upgrading from my Nexus 6.

DOA brand new 3XL

Was out of town when it got delivered. Wife put it on the charger this morning. It's dead, no battery icon when charging. Power, power plus vol down for minutes. Nothing. plugged it into a computer, it's not on with a dead screen as windows did not recognize it. New replacement OTW.
Most disappointing.

I somewhat remember this with the 2's. People that got out of the box defective phones had to wait forever.

Mine worked for the first 4 days and now it won't take a charge. Tried Safe Mode, Power Off charging, new chargers, outlets. The phone even shows it's slow charging when no cable is plugged in and fast charging when a cable is plugged in. Think I'm going to return it for the 6t.

Yup, same bull**** for my RMA that was supposed to come today but it never even shipped. The order was placed last week on the 18th was supposed to go out on the 22nd and get here today. I went through a more annoying process and went through numerous reps and one of them even had the audacity to say the phone shows it was sent yet they were unable to furnish a tracking number. I'm like so you guys handed over a $1,000 + device and didn't get a tracking number from the carrier? Seems legit! The rep was quiet and had no response to that comment. On the latest call I made today I got transferred to someone in the shipping department she escalated the issue as well. But I went a step further and cancelled the order for my first RMA and had her place a new order for a new RMA. The new RMA now shows a delivery date of 29th - 30th so I wonder if it was a supply issue? Either way I'm getting tired of Google's half assed device launches and support.

Not a supply issue, they are shipping us new phones. They have plenty, it's a procedure issue.

If it's not a supply issue then it's possible it had something to do with their system outage/update/enhancements they did fairly recently? I don't know anymore to be honest and I just hope this RMA order that was issued today will go through.

Me too....mine has a very small defect on the glass on the edge lip of the phone.... replacement was supposed to be here 22nd-23rd.....still hasn't shipped.

Just got off the phone with Returns....they are having a system issue and it's been escalated.....so nothing.

Well after escalating mine yesterday. Still no email update and no movement on the order page.

Same, not a word. No change. Tomorrow I will make them cancel the replacement and issue a full refund for the original.

Question Canadian waitlist/pre-booking - How quickly is it moving?

I did see the general waitlist section to get some idea about this, but since I found nothing there I thought of starting a new thread.
I placed an order on August 26 during the Canadian unboxing (is this what it was called?) event. I thought they'll offer some added incentive(s) during the event, so I waited. While I did get an additional discount by waiting, the customer service is now claiming it'll be at least 5-6 weeks before the product is shipped. Is this a general response from them or is it ACTUALLY taking a month and a half for Samsung to ship the device?
The reason I'm asking this is I'll probably cancel my order and get one from Amazon which is delivering in a couple of days. I'll lose out on all the pre-launch benefits, but patience isn't my strongest suit
Cheers guys!
Roy

Did you order directly from Samsung Canada?
I ordered mine on the 21st, and it was in my hands on the 23rd.

Hi! Yes directly from Samsung Canada. I placed two different orders - one for Fold 4 and Watch 5 and a second one for a grip case. The grip case is stuck in "Preparing for Dispatch" and the Fold 4 order is stuck in "Processing".

Interesting. Which color and what storage did you pick? I went with 512GB Black.
Maybe the other colors are in short supply. That's usually the issue. They make tons of black ones, as that's what all the carriers usually order.
PS. It's a great device. The little bit of extra width to the cover display (over the Fold 3) makes so much difference in usability.
Battery life is also excellent, and it doesn't randomly get as hot as a toaster like my S22U did.

PS. It's a great device. The little bit of extra width to the cover display (over the Fold 3) makes so much difference in usability.
Battery life is also excellent, and it doesn't randomly get as hot as a toaster like my S22U did.

I went with the Grey-Green one. I was thinking strategically and was leaning towards the black one because of the same logic that you mentioned, but I gave in and went with the grey-green one as I personally think it looks great. Then again I honestly don't think it'll make a difference to me as my phone is always inside a case!
I will wait for another day or two and then go for the black one if I don't see any movement on my current order. I've been hearing too many awesome things to wait for 5-6 weeks!

Hey,
Just adding to the thread. I order a grey green 512 on August 23rd, Confirmation on the 24th that my order was accepted.
There was no 4-5 week wait period when I ordered. It typically tells you when you look at the cart what the wait time will be.
My order has been stuck at processing ever since. I called Samsung last night after have 3 live chat's with them where they all gave me different information.
Basically, I've been told that my order is stuck in processing because there is a 4-5 week wait now. I tried explaining to them that when I ordered, there was no such wait indicated. For sure there is now, but I bought and was confirmed before the preorder ended on Aug 26th.
So I have an open ticket where they are supposed to get back to me with an exact shipping date. Should have an answer today or tomorrow.
This whole purchase from Samsung online has been a total nightmare.

This pretty much captures my experience. I have received the following responses from the live chat reps:
1. There's a wait of 5-6 weeks.
2. The 5-6 weeks wait is only for the "Samsung Store Exclusive" colours of the Fold and my order will be shipped by this weekend.
3. My order is taking a while since the Watch 5 I've ordered is a bespoke model, so it'll take 3-4 weeks and the Fold will be shipped by this weekend.
I've received these 3 answers from 4 different reps since today morning. I don't believe a word that's coming from them any more. I'll wait till this weekend and raise a ticket if nothing moves by then.
I'm curious, which colour of the Fold did you order?

Ah my bad. Missed the very first line!
This is what I'm considering to do. I'll wait till the weekend and if nothing moves then I'll place a second order, this time for the black one. If the second order moves, I'll cancel the first one. If the second also stays stuck then I'll stick with the first order.

Update: I lost my patience with these guys last night and I placed the second order. It's already moved to "Preparing for Dispatch", so I cancelled the original order today morning. I went for the black Fold this time.
