    Verizon XL VS. Google XL

    Worth it to wait out for the unlocked bootloader version from Google, or just get one on the way from VZW? Kind of think it's a little shortsighted on google's part to be so unprepared, although I think the Note debacle has a lot to do with it.

    Ordered my Pixel XL

    I got an all black one. For kicks I ordered a Google Home too. Funny, the order page was jumping all over the place, what was in stock, and what was not. I am assuming that this will work on AT&T like my Nexus 6? I'm not going back to Verizon!
