Where to pre-order

[uchosen]

This will be my first Pixel phone. Typically, is the Pixel only available for pre-order from the Google Store at launch or were they available at any brick and mortar stores?

Thanks

They just released it. Shipping next week. Only brick and mortar will be VZ for the VZ version which is unlockable.

Was/Is the Pixel 2 (unlocked) available in the US in shops? Hoping the Pixel 3 will be.

Going to retire it and keep it as a spare. Should have the 3XL late next week.

Thinking of doing the same but opting for the standard P3. Just not cool with the notch thing!

I decided to embrace the ugliness as a trade off for how it creates extra usable space.

Embrace away bruh. I'm liking the smaller size phones again. My sons P2 feels might good in my hands. Not to mention it fits well in a pocket instead of wearing bib overalls to carry these things around anymore!

All Pixel Phones are Carrier/Sim unlocked. The bootloader is the only thing that is unlocked on NON-verizon pixels.

Ah right. So that means you can forget rooting on Verizon devices right?
