Amazon has the 256gb pro and you still get the pre order bonus.

My Spigen case has arrived. I'd like the phone to be fractionally bigger but the killer for me with the pro is that it still has curves screen edges which means no glass screen protector.

Do you get both of the pre order bonuses as it looked like it was just 1

Snow 256GB available on the Google Store.

Ta. I've ordered a Hazel 256 from Amazon in the end. Due 13th. Never before ordered a top spec phone at first release so a little excited actually.

Oddly the image for my order with EE has a watch next to it, but no reference to that in the order.

Ah well, they won't ship till next weekend anyway (woops, didn't realise that) so ho hum, we'll see.

Joining the 7 pro club. Check carphone warehouse for voda deals as I think theyre pretty good for 100 or 250 gb.

The camera zoom is quite good isnt it

From within the thread, it works for video too, and it's not too bad.

Thats amazing really

So when I ordered the PIxel 7 I also ordered the Spigen Thin Fit case, screen protectors and camera bar protector.

At the weekend I also ordered the Thin Fit case for the 7 Pro, just to make sure I've made the right decision.

Despite my wife insisting that I should get the biggest phone possible, the 7 Pro is just a bit too big for me I feel. Also, I can't get over the (les than the 6 Pro but still) curved edges of the screen, which likely means a 'soft' screen protector rather than glass.

One interesting thing I did note however; the P6 and P7 are both 20:9 ratios, the P7 Pro is 19.5:9 (as is the iPhone 11/12/13/14 etc).

This 20:9 thing is getting too tall. I can see them going to 21:9 at some point which is just crazy. No thumb can reach up there!

My ideal Pixel spec would be a 6.4" 19.5:9 FLAT screen phone with the Pro camera setup. I kinda wish Google would go back to how it was in early Pixels, where the phones were the same except for size, so 'XL' rather than 'Pro'. Bit boring to imagine you have to get the bigger phone to get the better phone.

You're better off buying it new from Amazon direct link as it's down to £15 and I'm gonna return it to there for the £19 I paid for it , so cheaper for you to get it from there.

Nice one - I use the more rugged one which I'll probs buy.

Who gets theirs tomorrow?

My 7 has shipped so likely get it tomorrow.

BTW, for those who've bought from a reseller or network, claim your watch/buds here: clicky

The email from google says that, but when i click on the dpd tracking they haven't even got the parcel yet lol

Ooh, my on is getting delivered tomorrow apparently.

Likely it'll turn up when I'm on a video call....

Just had an email to say mine has been delivered! It certainly hasn't.

Hopefully someone fat fingering the delivery system rather than someone pocketing it

Mine's arriving between 12 and 1.

I was in London yesterday so went into a phone shop for a play with them both. Both really lovely and the Pro clearly the superior device, but confirmed again my preference for the 7's form factor.

Hopefully arriving today for me - Amazon showing no further updates after it arriving to the Manchester depot yesterday.

I got delivery to the local currys this am - shall pick up shortly. Look forward to all your happy new phone posts later
