For whatever reason, when I decided to buy the Pixel 6 on Friday (1/21), buying it direct from Google seemed like the way to go. For some reason it wasn't showing up for overnight delivery on Amazon and my local Best Buy was out of them (the unlocked version).
It said "Get it as soon as 1/22!" so I clicked the link. Tossed the phone and case into my cart and went to check out. There was no option to get it next day, but I had a busy weekend planned anyway, and it said it would arrive 1/25-1-27. There was an option for $20 to bump it up by one day. Pass.
Ordered it, and pretty much forgot about it until today. Checked my order and it still hasn't even shipped, but apparently Google only gives you an hour or so after ordering to cancel. I checked; too late for me to cancel.
At this point it's back in stock for tomorrow morning delivery by Amazon and BB has gotten some more in, but I can't cancel my Google order. Grrr...
Kind of odd that it would sit 76+ hours without shipping, and not be cancel-able at this point. Note to self: don't buy directly from Google anymore.

Usually they have a status associated with the order. It's probably being sent to shipping if it's not cancel-able. Google does not give you "an hour or so after ordering" to cancel. If it's not in stock they will give you as many days/weeks as it takes to get to shipping. It's only the 24th and not even the earliest it was expected to arrive. Give it to the 27th and ... well all good things come to those that wait.
Yeah, pretty stoked about getting this thing. Can't blame me for some impatience ! My first Pixel. I've had pretty much everything but Google-made Androids.
The status shows "not shipped" but no cancellation because the order went to the warehouse on Friday. They are probably backed up like everyone else these days.
Ok, sitting back and waiting. Lots of great info on this subforum.
Lol..
I can't wait for the Pixel 7.
Shipping date Oct. 25, 2022.
My dear friend just look at me, you will definitely feel good.
I live in a country where Pixel phones are not officially available.
I placed an order on October 26th from Google store US to be shipped to my friend in CA.
Google started shipping on Nov. 7th, and meanwhile, I started worrying about FedEx as everyone on Reddit said Fedex always lost packages.
Finally thank god, it was delivered to my friend on Nov. 15th.
My friend started the shipment on Nov. 22nd via USPS.
In the end, it took a month to reach me.
And, it came to me without a warranty.

did you have to pay taxes and import duties?

Yes.
I paid US tax $ 55.15
I paid USPS fee $71.75
I paid import tax almost $70
All for the 128 GB pixel 6 with a Pixel bud which I finally sold at almost $90
Wow big taxes! You are hard core! Do you like the phone enough to justify the effort?
I had one colleague a few years back from a small European country who had trouble getting good phones there. He practiced what I call Phone Tourism. He travelled to the US twice a year for work. Each time he would buy a phone or two here at a retail store. So he could always trade up once or twice a year and maybe sell an extra on the side. Never declares anything.
Meanwhile, minutes ago I got a note that my phone just shipped! Too early to know delivery date yet but at least it's moving.
Actually, the phone is not a nice surprise.
It is not as good as I expected and it is not good enough to justify my effort.
I was so naive as to believe the Google release show.

I'm curious what aspects disappointed you. Sorry you don't love it. I jumped into the Pixel party a bit on a lark, since my OP6T's final software update broke a few things and pissed me off. Not certain I will love it like I did my 6T that I kept for three years.

@Frankenscript Don't believe bush911, lol. With the January update, which you should do before anything else, you're gonna really like this device. It's thin, slightly large if you're coming from a P5 but you get used to it. The display is beautiful and the software is working really well. As the monthlies roll out it will even get better. Enjoy it and yes, I do know what it's like to be waiting in anticipation. We've all been there.

There are some minor problems which are really annoying. The on-screen fingerprint reader is not good, I always get a 7 out of 10.
The phone always becomes overheated while doing simple tasks, which never cause similar issues on my previous Pixel 3.
The front camera is not better than the one on Pixel 3, the main camera, the main camera doesn't show much superiority over the pixel3.
I hope all the above issues will be fixed by a future software update

The main reason you don't always wanna buy from Google is their customer support isn't too great. If for any reason you find yourself returning the phone for a repair or trade-in, be sure to take several pictures of it before sending it off. Video of it turning off and on, the speakers working, and the phone being totally reset is also a good idea.
I'm really enjoying my P6P, and they're finally doing better with the bug fixes on it. Congrats on the new phone, hope you like it!
Tracking last night showed delivery today, but I think it missed a handoff and now shows delivery tomorrow. Good enough. Gives me time to sort through my current phone and delete the crap. The problem is what to do with three years worth of original size photos. I'm a pack rat and don't routinely delete stuff.

Save everything to your computer. Get Backup SMS and save all your texts and phone log to an outside source. If you use the Authentication app either make sure you have it copied to another phone or the backup codes for your apps just in case the original craps out in the transfer. Also do a full Google backup when you see it on the truck for delivery. You should be good to go at that point. Oh yeah, copy everything. Delete it if necessary on the new Pixel.
Hi folks the Pixel six is here! Thanks for putting up with my impatience.
Pretty phone but I'd didn't realize how thick it would be! Anyway I'm setting it up. Most stuff transferred easily via the cable method from my old phone. Had some scary moments with Angry Birds 2 until I remembered how to sign in through Google play. But all good now.
I've got to get a better charger though. I thought my OP6T dash charger would do it, but being a USB A device apparently I'm limited by it.
Searching threads here for great info, will try to minimize repetitive questions.

Check out the Pixel 6 pre order thread that I started way back when. Lol..
Pixel 6 pre order thread.
As the title says this thread is for pre order talk. For me, I ordered the 128GB Black. estimate delivery date is Oct 27.

Hi all, Several lessons out of this thread!
Google as mother company of Android is on top to impose their mandatory services to collect our data, but weak in promoting, selling, shipping and supporting their hard products!
On Android point of view, no doubt that bugs will be fixed in the future and improvements made.
Having said that and coming from Samsung, I got my first google phone P6 at a distributor shop and I'm very happy with it.
I know there is no "ideal" device, however here, my expectations are fulfiled.
Enjoy using our new toy

So yea I am late to the game and for the $$ I would love one. Any hot links where they are still shipping?

Many shops are sending their stock back to HP to be sold at hp.com. That's why they are only temporarily out of stock. You can have them e-mail you when they are back in stock.

Ordered one from Erwin Comp. Make sure you guys use Google Checkout just in case. They seem fairly reputable from what I read on reviews online. Let's hope they don't cancel my order like B&N did. I'm only buying just one, not in it for the resales.
Just now ordered 1 from erwincomputers.com It says item "In-stock". Hope its true and goes through. I also used the google checkout since I am not familiar with this website.
Their online ratings are horrible.
That being said....we shall see.
I used Google Checkout AND my American Express....just in case.
AmEx is awesome at disputes should Erwin decide to hose me.
I was gonna get another one from Erwin comp but after reading the reviews changed my mind. Just gonna wait until Wednesday.
Might want to check your local Best Buy stores today or at least find out when their trucks come. From what I've been told, they are gonna have them. Don't know if they will have a limit or not. Good luck!!!

I thought all inventories were going back to HP's warehouses....
For 100 bucks...or even 149, these make nice coffee table tablets for the net, music and browsing. I don't need 100K apps...but for 100 bucks, IMO, these are a better offering than the bottom of the line, 1.6 or 2.2 android cheapo tablets.
Samsung just lost a lawsuit over in Europe. There's a chance they might be stocking up as well.....
yarp - certainly do - im in the uk and ive just ordered 5 of them from insight (they are one of our suppliers here at my workplace - i got 5x 32gb versions for 120 quid each)
I spoke to them first thing this morning and they were waiting for the price drop which came at 1pm today - then he phoned me - stock says that they had about 500 or so. goodluck.

Same here, tried with Chrome, IE, and Firefox.
So I'm of of the late people to order the prime (12/26) and just wondering how many of us are out there? Anyone got any idea when that second batch is coming to amazon?
I'm also an Amazon late buyer. Hoping our patience pays off with more polished machines.
I'm also in this boat. I'm honestly not expecting to get mine until February. I'm hoping that by the time it ships it will have ICS pre-installed.
Ordered from Amazon 64GB Champagne today After Return
I returned my TP yesterday to GameStop for a full refund. They had none in stock so refunded in cash no less. My reason for returning was a completely dead GPS. I never once got any lock of any type trying all the tricks on the GPS threads. Everything else worked flawlessly and I really hated parting with it but if I'm paying 500 bucks for a device it better work. I did notice a few people with later shipments having better luck than I did and so am rejoining the great TP Egg Hunt
P.S. From my own personal experience of two weeks playing with the TP if they get the GPS issue worked out this will be one badass tablet !!!
From the rumors i hear, the second batch of TP on amazon is due to ship during the first half of January so lets all hope that we get our tablets then and they are without problems

Man this just kills me.. I really don't understand why people need GPS so badly. I really can't think of a single time I would use it. My Galaxy Nexus is a MUCH better navigation device than a 10" tablet could ever be. As long as it can get my current city from wifi for searches, what other possible use is there?
It's probably been discussed in other GPS threads, but I haven't seen any real reason that I should worry about GPS on a wifi only tablet.
If you do a search on Amazon right now, the 32 GB Primes are only available from Amazon partners at highly inflated prices. There is a 64 GB available from Amazon, but no 32's.

Yeah, this bugs me too. People exchanging their otherwise perfectly working Primes because of GPS.... People should research enough to know that no amount of exchanges at this time is going to solve the issue.
Back on topic, I also ordered on 12/26 from Amazon (Grey 64GB)
Yeah, I posted about this yesterday. I ordered on Dec 19th, 64gb grey. One person in my post stated they ordered it on the 18th and it was delivered on the 30th. Not sure what size and stuff. I've also heard of some from the first round not getting theirs yet. I'm hoping that we get them in the next week or so.
I preordered my 64 champ. on the 22nd, had an est. of jan 24th-feb 7, and 3 days ago, changed to "we will notify you" and hasn't given me a new date yet

It's not even that, I just don't know what they are even using the GPS on a wifi tablet to do... As I said, android phones are much better navigation devices than big tablets. If they removed GPS function completely, I'm not sure what I would miss out on...
Just got off the phone with amazon about the 64gb champ. gold model. Csr told me that they are expecting to start shipping out this week, and have more coming the week after that, and the week after that.

First and foremost....I got my Prime today. Its perfect. No light leakage...No WIFI issues, GPS works, No loose screen, Update took 5 minutes and had no issues. Keep the faith people...There are good primes out there...We just see a majority of the issues here on the forums.
Now to the order of business. I am a seasonal Best Buy employee (Senior at Purdue University who works here during christmas...mainly for the sick employee discount). You CAN CURRENTLY get the Grey dock at ANY Best Buy store. They are still not available to order online and you will not find the device in the store that day, but they are obtainable. The process is as follows.
1) Simply walk into said Best Buy.
2) Head to the computer department and find someone who does not look stupid.
3) Tell them you would like to do an OMS order for the Asus transformer prime dock.
4) They will say they cant do it and cant find a SKU.
5) Give them this sku: 4175048
6) They will be able to OMS ship either to that store...or to your house.
7) Wait a week or so, depending on when you order...(Our trucks come from the Chicago warehouse every Thusday night so it totally depends on when that store gets shipments from its warehouse)
8) Recieve your dock ahead of schedule.
This does work as I have done it for myself and have a dock on our truck due this Thursday the 5th.
Just as a quick update on the units themselves...I have just today started to see them moving through RSS (our investory software). Only 2 of them were shipped to the largest store in central Indiana which I bet are OMS or some sort of .Com orders. You are not able to OMS the actual tablet.
-Quix.
I will try this tomorrow. If it works, you are awesome. Thanks!
Wtf, why not. Ups usually doesn't arrive till about 5 pm so I have some free time thanks!
Ill kiss you if this works. Tired of missing online stocks that run out in <20 minutes.
Is this able to be done over the phone with your local Best Buy store? :O
Thanks for this appreciate it but I do hate to inform you your GPS may work from a technical standpoint( like everyone's) but will not work as a real world practical turn by turn navigation device.
You should indeed be able to do this over the phone assuming you are ok giving them your credit card information over the phone as well.

I owe you a kiss. On the truck for the 10th. The guy was pretty adamant about them not having anything at any best buy. I told him to check the sku for ****s and giggles and he told me there were actually 128. dont know if that was for the store or all of bestbuy, but its one less now. Thanks for the heads up.
Worked for me. Estimated delivery date Jan 9 - Jan 12

How would one go about doing this on the phone? I ordered my prime over the phone, because I had to do financing, because for some reason I couldn't find out how to do it online. I was transfered about 4 times to different departments until I was connected with someone who ordered my prime and let me do financing.
So if I want to get the keyboard, and use the "magic OMS word," would I call the 1-8xx number? (I don't know it off the top of my head) And once I call, who do I ask to talk to?
Has anyone ordered a Blue GS3 from play.com and actually recieved theirs?
Still waiting on mine, everywhere else seems to have stock apart from them, I want to keep my order with them as they give a free Case, screen protector and I get £20 cashback.
They have no idea when they can fulfil all orders
I'd given up with Play. Ordered from Amazon on Friday and the phone got dispatched on Saturday. Currently on the van for delivery
I've lost my TCB but at least I'll actually get the phone.
I have a feeling Play seem to be pretty low down on the list from Samsung. I wouldn't have minded as much if they were honest about it. I've yet to find anyone that actually has one dispatched from them and fail to believe that someone wouldn't have posted something on the net about a delivery had they got one.

Amazon have Blue in stock now and I could cancel with play and order with amazon. But with Play, as I said before I get £20 cashback, free offical samsung case (white and blue) (£15) and free samsung screen protector (£15). So effectively, my phone is £450 as I would need to get a case and sp anyway.
On the 8th they said I was 62 in the queue, with people cancelling and changing to white, I'll be pushed up sooner.
I've waited this long, I guess a little longer won't hurt.
Just called Play.com, and they said they dont know when I'll be getting mine, even though I'm only about 50 in the queue, could be a few weeks

Just called Play.com, and they said they dont know when I'll be getting mine, even though I'm only about 50 in the queue, could be a few weeks

The fact that they still don't have a date is concerning. Especially since you'd pre-ordered and others are getting them sent next day
I've now got the joy of mine going via HDNL from Amazon though so it's not all peachy elsewhere
I just got my depatch email from play.com for my blue!! finally!!
Also got a tracking number! it's will be here tomorrow at last!
Who preordered the Nexus 7 tablet??? i did anyone else??
Pre-ordered the 16gb shortly after it was available. Google said I wouldn't be charged until it was shipped. I was charged immediately. So I expect to get it in 2 days.
I ordered one.
I like my Kindle Fire but I wanted bluetooth and some other goodies that the kindle was missing.
I ordered one too. I have some long flights coming up in August and was thinking about getting something to play with, this came along at the right time to trigger an impluse buy. Hopefully, I won't regret it.
Yeah just pre-ordered as well - very excited about it
I also pre-ordered the 16 GB one. I offloaded my KF tonight on Craigslist. The one thing that surprised me was the final cost with tax and shipping was $282. A bit steep but should be worth it! I wish Google would have done free shipping for pre-orders. I was already charged too which surprised me.
i also pre-ordered the 16gb one.. cant wait!
Ordered the 16GB one. Cost is £208.99 including shipping.
Well worth it!
I've been waiting for a "nexus" tablet for at least a year, the minute it became available I ordered the 16gb.. at $259 (cdn) it was a no-brainer.. Up until a few weeks ago I was prepared to spend $400-700 for one, super excited!
charged the CC imediately??

I saw a couple people post that they were charged immediately. Im looking for some clarification I know usually this isnt how it should work and as you said should be charged upon shipping. Many times they will charge a dollar or just check to make sure there are funds in the account but dont actually put a charge through, can you verify that the funds were removed from your account. Also, does anyone know what the deal is with the nexus 7 appearing to run some version of the phone OS and not the Tablet OS interface, should i be put off by this or is it something that can be changed easily enough. Thanks

The funds have been deducted from my account although it is still pending. It usually takes 3 days for a pending charge to go through and I don't doubt it will. I have 2 other unrelated charges made the same day that are the same status. I assume its because I used a debit card. I've seen many others in the same situation.
Yeah it looks like a phone OS. I'm used to that running CM7 on my Nook Color. By the time it ships it may be different. It really doesn't bother me either way.

Interesting, thank you. My only real experience is with the HP touchpad running CM9 and that has the tablet UI which i do prefer a bit over the phone UI, i wander if this is something that can be "tweaked".

With it in the hands of so many devs already I would say probably.
I ordered mine last night!
Dont mind paying the shiiping as I have read there is virtually no markup on device..
Cant wait to get it. I didnt pay attention to if it hit my account now or later and dont really care as long as i get it mid july as stated on their site... But, I wont cry if it comes earlier!
I hope so

Ha, i believe you are indeed correct, but as both a noob to the site and really to the android experience over all I'd rather ask first, than to appear a fool and pretend to know something i dont. Interestingly enough, the Dev. version from the conference is actually a unit with a white rubber back, not gray, it looks fairly nice as well, honestly looks like a golf ball.
