I can highly recommend Pocketcasts. Best podcast app I've used.
How are you getting these stats? My phone with the indian rom is dead after 5h sot with brightness at 70%. I'm using Greenify, Amplify and Power nap.

I wish I still got those surveys, I haven't had one in months and I've just recently spent the last of the credit I built up.

More smart than laughable. They are going to sell far more Pixels than any google phone before it.
Google was fully aware they had to price this the same as iPhone to be recognized at the level it is right now. They knew what they were doing.
Was my 3rd LG phone lol, the first one died in the same fashion... Fool me once something something

They don't release sales data, so there is no way to know. Preorders sold out much slower for it than previous phones though.

It doesn't take numbers to know this is going to sell more than any nexus phone. Every single publication on the internet wrote a review about the pixel today. That has never happened with a google phone before.
Websites like Inc, New York Times, TIME, CNBC and USA Today don't write reviews for phones that aren't Samsung or Apple. Hell they barely write Samsung reviews.
Videos like this just don't happen every year.

Reviews don't translate into sales. Also pretty much everyone that reviewed this phone also reviewed the 6P, so not really sure what you mean.
Sure, there is a good chance it sells more than any other Nexus phone, but that is more due to Verizon selling it and Google marketing.
Moonreader is fantastic, tons of customization options as well as cross device syncing and cloud support.

Uh, no they didn't. Look at my edit. I added plenty of main stream publications that have never given two shits about a google phone until now.
You cant deny the hype. To say this is anything like a nexus launch is ridiculous.

All of those sites covered the 6p and 5x. Here is CNBC covering 6p http://video.cnbc.com/gallery/?video=3000427217

Ok. Go find the New York Times and TIME review of the Nexus 6p and post it here.
And the video you just posted isn't even a review more or less real people covering it. You are delusional.

If you want to try to hype the phone that's cool though. It's obviously you are rock hard over these phones and trying to push them so much, yet you aren't even buying one yourself.

The only review there is from a website I didn't even list. (wall street journal) LOL
What's really odd. Is you just made some weird ass claim that I am not even buying one? I've had two on order since the day of the announcement.
Like I said. Delusional.

What the fuck. Are you Donald Trump?
Did you seriously just make up some lie about me then demand I show you a personal receipt?
Enough of this. You are all over the place and just plain weird.

I would be really surprised if they can outsell Nexus 5.
The problem with Google branded phone is that they change the direction of their phone hardware strategy more frequent than MS change mobile OS names. There is no guarantee google will continues this path 1 year form now. I would say it's 90% likely that google will change their phone direction again within 2 years.

So you admitted that you didn't buy one then, but recommended several people to buy them in other posts, but now you are saying you have 2 ordered. I question your sincerity when you do things like that.

I get 5SOT when I use brightness at 100% and little to no wifi use. In other words, days when I'm not at home. 8-9SOT is when I'm mostly connected to wifi (little to no 4g or 3g) and with brightness set to 75%(app).
Forgot to add, I don't use any battery saving app

Same. I was all about to get the V20, but LG's shoddy build and the size of the device means fuck it. Sticking with my HTC 10. Finally gonna return the OP3 back to mah pops. I'm holdin out till MWC.

For starters, not to look like an already existing HTC phone.

I think its fair to criticize it for not being inspiring looking. There is a reason car model redesign every 4-5 years, because people pay extra for newer looking things.

I don't see many reviewers of the iPhone complain about lack of SD card. I also never recall seeing water proofing being "a thing" until this year. I guess Apple invented water proofing. It never existed before this year, nope. If lack of water proofing is listed as a con or a bad, then a headphone jack needs to be listed as a pro or good.
precisely my point!
then you have people coming in saying well it is not about who's first, it's about who does it better... - Apple!
I'm like smh...

It's finicky. But for the most part you can just swap a sim in there. Think voice lte doesn't work.
Also everyone here (including me) with one think it's a good phone. Probably the best overall phone at $400.
Has its quirks but don't all phones.
i mildly agrree with you, but how can we be sure that everything, but hardware assembly, was done by google and not HTC? Wasn't this the same way nexus were handled before?
nexus also were about software experience, so what does pixel bring to expand that? Stock android, with a few dedicated apps that i am sure could be ported to 6P or 5X for example. Unless we find some unique features that provide a better experiencie , like sony's stamina mode.
So far i just see a 'premium' nexus (6P already was), with new features and services locked from other android devices (including nexus). Nothing that makes you think , wow only pixel can do that. Maybe that will come in future phones, but right now...

I could swear that standby battery use has improved a little since the OTA update to android 7.0 on my 5X the other night. Or am I just wishing things to be there?

it's definitely gonna sell more than any previous Pixel phone.

Ask me about the GAF Notebook
Kirin 960 says hi
Basically a slightly faster 950 without the garbage tier GPU.

You don't read iPhone reviews and this shows. All of the Android reviewer's take on literally every iPhone since the 4s have mention lack of sd, removable battery, and later on lack of waterproofing. Go check out iPhone 6s reviews and look at the things reviewers ding them for.
The headphone jack can't be listed as a bad thing because Le and Motorola released devices without one.
I enjoyed my short time with it, I just had a few issues with it, which was mostly my fault. Biggest thing was typing on it kind of sucked for me... kept pressing the capacitive home button instead of the space bar. Other issue is the dedicated headphone amp worked in only a few apps and not completely system wide. I use Google play music to listen to music and the hifi dac didn't work in it. I know it worked in the stock music player as well as a select build of poweramp. It is something that can probably be patched but it was pretty disappointing.
It technically works on verizon, but I heard it can can be pretty finicky.
