Ordered a Pixel from Verizon yesterday, on the truck for delivery today... - Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers

What are the chances that the bootloader will be unlockable? My idiot self didn't do the research before buying and didn't realize that the Verizon version can't be unlocked once it's it 7.1.1. Anyone recently get one that was able to be unlocked?

Damn bro, I'm sorry.
The one I ordered came with 7.1.0 the October update. I bootloader unlocked it as fast as I could. Could not be happier.

Did you get it at a VZ store? They updated it. If you got it shipped to you, I don't see how it could have the February update on it already.

Just ordered mine today and it shipped out already. They said it wouldn't ship for a couple weeks. I hope it has 7.1!

I didn't want one on release day anyway.... Like **** I didn't
The screen is stunning, it feels light, fits the hand perfectly and ICS is very nice. It’s certainly the best I’ve owned.

what are the chances US verizion will activate a UK nexus?
Given one is GSM and the other CDMA... slim.

Phone came with unlocked bootloader?

so kinda bothersome....but not really i dont guess....was following directions on droidlife to unlock bootloader. Noticed it said bootloader unlocked but went on anyway. typed fastboot oem unlock and it says error, already unlocked. Guess my nexus shipped already unlocked? Is this possible?
also under signing it says engineering....one in droid life photo says production....anybody else?
You have a protoype or dev phone. I have one as well. It doesn't really make a difference because these bootloaders can be locked again (I think).
Not sure about you, but I wouldn't enjoy having an engineering model. Never know what could happen in the future depending on how new or old it is. Where did you get it from?
I purchased from verizon store yesterday.....build date of 11/18 I think it said
So you are saying that from the very first boot you had the white unlock icon on the startup screen where it says GOOGLE in white?
I doubt you got a dev or proto...
maybe someone returned one? or maybe ur sales rep unlocked it for you (lol)
if it bothers you return it and unlock it yourself lol

Hi,
I bought my nexus in Germany (Saturn stores). I just found out that my GN was also unlocked. I never flashed a phone before so i was not sure what to make out of it.
And indeed now that you say it the white GOOGLE text has come up on boot from the first time i booted him.
So any cool things i can do with a dev phone? Any disadvantages?

Verizon GN Users: Disappointed there is no 4.04 update yet?

I know I am. But it just proves since we got it for Verizon all of the updates will be delayed from when GSM users get them
Suçks cause i thought we got the 4.02 update pretty quick.
I wonder if Sprint having basically the same phone will change anything?
Of course there is always CM9 or AOSP builds. But official stuff is always nice. Makes me wonder why they havent officially released it.

Getting my S9 8th of March

I'm getting my S9 in a few days. Not sure if it's normal or not, but got confirmation that I can pick it up 8th of March.
Thought the release were 16th of March?
i'm getting mine today, so nothing special, i think the demand is very soft on this year's model
Where did you two order yours from?
Yeh, its eerily quiet in the S9 forums too, unlike last year where every country and carrier had their own s8/s8 plus "waiting rooms" lol. The buzz is nowhere near as strong as last year. I'm getting mine on Friday hopefully. I'm in the UK and I'm looking forward to it, im a sucker for new phones ?

Mine is being shipped on 8th and should be with me on the 9th, bonus of pre-ordering is getting it a little bit early.
Ordered mine via Samsung Upgrade Program.
I'm in the US and I pre-ordered (unlocked version) from Samsung. I'm having trouble figuring out when it should ship. Anybody have a clue?

Delivery by the 14th apparently. No idea what day they will actually ship.
Update.... according to Samsung customer service, I'll have the new device in hand by March 14th. This is for a pre-ordered unlocked version (US version) directly from Samsung.
Been notified mine is arriving tomorrow ( 8th ) - Carphonewarehouse UK
I ordered mine about 5 minutes after the pre orders went live. I'm in the US, is it only in the UK they are shipping early?

Question Teasing February 13th..

What is going on February 13th? I tried googling it, but no luck. I literally have mine boxed up to go back, debating if I should keep it lol.
Speaking of teasing, where did you hear anything regarding February 13th regarding Google or Pixel?

Ah, that one just refers to a teaser they made for the Pixel 6 with a focus on the true tone camera capability, they will release/show a video about it in the half-time of the next Super Bowl.
It's a new marketing campaign with the slogan #SeenOnPixel, designed to sell more of the sold-out Pixel 6.
There's nothing new, it's just a video about the Pixel we already have.
[Update: Airs] Pixel 6 gets camera & Real Tone-focused Super Bowl ad featuring Lizzo
Google's increased advertising for the Pixel 6 and 6 Pro will continue at the Super Bowl with a focus on the camera's Real Tone capability...
