The penguin one is just extremely popular compared to the other versions. Plus I'm guessing they're a bit trickier to make since they have to coat it in a separate material for the white back.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] mrmaddog:
Ordered from google on announcement day, got 11-22 est ship date. Checked verizon the next day. They said estimated ship 11-1, plus I got my employee discount applied towards equipment purchase. So I cancelled google order and ordered through Verizon. 3 weeks sooner and $100 cheaper. 128g version.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] AndrasLOHF:
Looking around on the webs I'm not thinking there was a single Panda phone ready for day 1 shipments.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] FlamingAngel82:
Sorely tempted to cancel my preorder and change to the black one. 21st December at the earliest is a looooooong time to wait versus 4-5 weeks!
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] whodatfan:
Ordered [emoji209]1️⃣2️⃣8️⃣ on 10/4 @ 1028 AM PDT and got ship date of Nov 13 with delivery of Nov 15-16.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] danon.brown:
Are Verizon stores going to have them?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] danon.brown:
Let us know the results. The store I was at said the pre orders get mailed so they may have none. Doesn't make sense but it could happen.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] geoff5093:
So tempting to order the black one, since my XL 64GB isn't scheduled to be delivered until 11/29. Right now the black is showing ship by 10/29, so it would give me 10 days or so to wait and see if there's any traction on the Panda, and if not just cancel it when the black ships.

I read some posts about white backs becoming shiny when the oil on your skin interacts with it, and how dirt can become permanent and leave stains.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] audioman42:
Seeing how good the black looks in person at the Verizon store is all it took for me to cancel my panda pre-order, and now I'll have my XL a month sooner!
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] geoff5093:
I just ordered the black XL lol. I'm keeping the Panda pre-order too though, and whatever ships first will be the one I keep!
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] travblue:
I went to Verizon store last year and had to settle for the 32 gig because they had no 128 available in none of the Verizon store near me. I love my pixel I'm not in a rush so I will wait for my B/W 128 pixel 2 XL to ship on Nov. 8
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] planedoc:
I tried to remain strong....but i went ahead and cancelled my panda and got the just black 128 XL. Saved me a full month of waiting. If i want a panda, they make skins, which i already ordered.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] cheapshot789:
Yea but you cant skin that sweet orange button they did it on purpose...
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] dyoung33:
That's an excellent point. Hadn't thought of that, but I bet you're right. I'm holding out for my 128 GB Panda, to be shipped November 6th. Probably wouldn't even complain if it shipped earlier....
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] planedoc:
:laugh: Damn you are right, Ill cancel my order again and order the pantda for the orange button

---------- Post added at 06:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:32 PM ----------

Mine wasnt gonna ship till Nov 20..arrive 22 Nov. I would have waited had it been first week in Nov, i think haha
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] AndrasLOHF:
I keep putting a Just Black in my cart and deleting it in Google Store lmfao. I still don't get why you don't produce MORE of the color variant that you're using in all of your promos. Literally just saw my first commercial for the phone last night on TV and guess what color variant it was......PANDA! I still don't believe they had a single panda ready to ship on day one. Waiting to see a post from here, Google+, etc. indicating otherwise.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] FlamingAngel82:
I've literally been doing this for the past three days, I just can't commit to it! It's giving me a date of 20th November versus the 21st December that I'm currently facing. It's agonising!!
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] AndrasLOHF:
That's terrible either way.

My current Panda order says ships November 27th. If I change to black it moves the date up to shipping October 22nd.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Flexia32:
I've got the 21st ship date. And I don't mind waiting a bit. By the time I get it I'm hoping root will already be out for it. That way I don't have to wait for root
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] FlamingAngel82:
Makes me feel a teeny bit better knowing someone else has a similar date! Did you order on announcement day as well? Also, UK?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] danon.brown:
Have any panda phones been delivered? I'm only seeing black. The panda model has been available several times today to order but the dates are 6-7 weeks. I guess people and canceling and going for the black.

---------- Post added at 06:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:44 PM ----------

Did you call back?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] cheapshot789:
When have you seen pandas go back in stock i haven't seen and i have been checking, anyways that's good more people canceling means faster ship for those who wait.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Itachisasuke:
My ship date is November 20th when I ordered at 1030 PDT on October 4th but I'm ok with waiting for the same reason. Hopefully the 8.1 Update will be out and either Magisk or suhide will already have most of the hiccups worked out.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] SupaDupaFly24:
Soo I been thinking lol..The earliest date I have seen so far is Oct 23rd, and that was literally from one person...I think we will start seeing some movement on that day because I find it hard to believe that Google would one have just one Panda on that day to ship..
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] sgvjon:
That is the earliest I've seen too, probably from the same person. Mine is Oct 30. Just sitting here being patient although getting all my 2XL accessories in.. having them in front of me is actually making me restless lol
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] antiochasylum:
I literally ordered mine 8 minutes before you and I have 11/6 ship date. 11/7 delivery.

I went to Verizon and saw a black one. They had them in stock I could have bought it. But I have absolutely zero desire to have a black phone again.

? only for me
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] McCoyer518:
Ordered 2x Panda 64gb 10/4 @ 11:17 PDT and have the ship date of 11/20 with 11/22-27 ship date. I haven't seen a single panda ship on Reddit or here
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] litrekid01:
I ordered on 10/4 at 10:22 and have an expected ship date of the 23 as well. No changes to anything I can see as of today.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] eep2378:
Nice. I literally order like 20 minutes after you and my ship date is 11/20 [emoji44].

Is it me or did Google completely drop the ball on the Panda units?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] McCoyer518:
It seems like they dropped the ball. Just blacks are shipping like hot cakes and I haven't seen a single Panda ship from anyone in this thread or on Reddit.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Itachisasuke:
I had to wait for my White Nexus 5X forever too so this is no different
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] cheapshot789:
Does anyone have any status on the reverse panda?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] danon.brown:
Just called around. They said they have to activate it on a Verizon account. They would insure that Verizon stuff gets loaded
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] SupaDupaFly24:
October 23rd? Because I ordered 2 mins before you and mines is in Nov lol
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] AndrasLOHF:
Welp....just canceled my 64gb panda order. I just can't bring myself to not only wait for the phone, but also support a company decision of using a specific color scheme on all your marketing materials, setting a launch date, then not have any of the color you advertised ready at launch while having tons of the only other color variant available. Just black 128gb will be in my hands Tuesday.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] dyoung33:
I ordered my 128 GB Panda at 10:23 am PDT, and my ship date is November 6th, with delivery of 8-9th. Did you order a 64 GB or 128 GB? Maybe made a difference?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] SupaDupaFly24:
My ship date is the same as yours and I ordered the 64GB but my order time was at 10:20 AM PDT
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] 1stloc:
Ordered my panda 64gb at 10:18 got a delivery date for 24-25 was hoping for this week. Now that seems unlikely as no one has gotten any shipped out.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] SupaDupaFly24:
Wow 2 mins before me...Something is seriously wrong with Google system lol...Cause I def should be in the 24-25 delivery date bunch.

It is crazy cause when I added my panda to my cart it said ships in 2-3 weeks...So I am hoping I will get it soon
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] danon.brown:
I just picked up a 128gb black at a store. The only difference is the unlocked bootloader. The T-Mobile SIM worked.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] danon.brown:
WiFi calling also works on T-Mobile with the Verizon model. So only difference would be the bootloader.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] cheapshot789:
? keep coming back in stock for both options then back out
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] baddison:
Ordered my 128g Pixel 2XL panda minutes after the keynote event on Oct. 4th. Got shipping date of Nov. 20th and Delivery of Nov 27th.....it's gonna be a very very lonnnggg wait!
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] AndrasLOHF:
I'm surprised you were able to even do that. I tried for hours and kept having the checkout crash.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] baddison:
Yup! Got that too. The incessant crashing was driving me nuts but I kept refreshing and re-inputting my info til I finally got email confirmation of successful purchase with an order number. I was considering cancel and reorder to see if I get a better shipping date, but panda 128g panda is consistently out of stock.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] JewRican:
i tried to hit a few north atlanta stores today and not one received an 2 XL in either color or size
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] pavankp:
I have a ship date of Oct 23 as well. Ordered 128 on the Google Store at 10:23. Last year I received my launch-day order for the Pixel XL a week before expected delivery date. I guess that won't happen this year.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] sgvjon:
Dang. I hope you get it soon! I ordered at 10:19.. 128gb, but added a trade-in, wonder if that affected it somehow.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Born<ICs:

Is that the stock phone app or something else?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] danon.brown:
Stock

Im a little pissed that today is the last day of the Home Mini promo and still no 64gb Panda XL to be ordered. Been wanting to order one but tired of waiting.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] owlmatt:
Keepy checking, i just ordered one. Arrival date is Dec 5th but was able to order one.

I have been checking multiple times a day for the last week.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] corkey723:
I have been all day when I had a minute at work, haven't seen one available for the last week or so. Also never got an email for the waitlist.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] owlmatt:
I didn't get an email either, maybe just got lucky but got a confirmation email. Hoping Dec 5th turns out to be sooner.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Born<ICs:
Thanks guess I have that dialer already. Oops
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] danon.brown:
They have been available at random times. All the dates are in December.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] corkey723:

[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] danon.brown:

[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] eep2378:
October? Or November
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] NOSTALGIA:
most likely october..
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] corkey723:
Finally ordered. Dec 6th.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] JewRican:
glad you were able to snag one. Did you get a 64 or 128?

Thats good that you were able to get the home mini promo too.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] corkey723:
64, in the middle of buying a house so money is tight atm. Was contemplating picking up a lightly used 1st gen XL instead so we will see if I can wait. Ready to throw this Galaxy S7 edge through a wall. Most of my storage space is photos and videos, so it will be nice having the free backup that I pay $20 a year for now.

Ordered a day after me and shipping 3 weeks earlier..... awesome [emoji41]
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] COMTB:
I think some of this is heavily based on your location...not sure though. I'm semi-annoyed because I didn't realize the b/w model would be released after. I just quickly did my pre-order through verizon and will be trading in my S7. Oh well, not going to change it now since I want the google home mini.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] mlin:
B/W, 128 GB, ordered 10/17, delivery estimated 12/7-12/8. Originally ordered on the day of announcement but decided to change my payment method and add Pixel protect. Only bumped me back 2 weeks or so on delivery.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] kheltek:
I ordered a b&w, in addition to the black. Black arriving 10/22-23 supposedly and b&w 12/7
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] eep2378:
Looks like 128GB Penguin back in stock. Ships in 6-7 weeks.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] COMTB:
I wonder if that means they will ship some soon...
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] BigPimpin:
Thinking about just getting the black after seeing that the colored power buttons are plastic.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Cybertronicz:
Aren't the black ones plastic as well??
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] skinnytoo2:
Got my black one a few days ago. Just ordered a panda 128 today with delivery 11/30. Gonna return my black because I somehow scratched the screen. No clue how I did it as I have been very careful with it. Gonna go to VZW tomorrow to see what I can buy to use in the time between returning the black and receiving the panda. Looks like I'll need to find a good screen protector in the next month. Lol
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] dyoung33:
I'm not really worried about the screen, because I don't think it will bother me. But, maybe since the Panda is being released later, they will get a different/better batch of screens. Getting mine November 8-9th, so maybe Google will at least have the whole color situation figured out, by then. Just a thought.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] COMTB:
Has anyone had their Panda ship yet? Or are they just not doing the panda run until later? Just curious
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] danon.brown:
Still waiting patiently. Ship date is the 13. I don't see Google shipping early. So I've got the black to hold me over until it does.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] COMTB:
Yea mines is the 8th, was just curious if people were starting to see the pandas ship or not. I have my S7 still so I'm not hurting for a phone, just impatient haha.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] litrekid01:
Earliest should be tomorrow. Nothing has changed on my status yet. Hopefully I'll get a shipping confirmation tomorrow
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] COMTB:
Anyone read about those burn in issues? Curious to see if it's across the board or not. None of the phones I've ever owned have had burn in with my normal usage so I'm dubious.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] init_dot_t:
I am somewhat concerned about the burn in issues but at the same time I still have a 3 week wait and hope that Google will address the issue before mine ships.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] COMTB:
That's kind of my thought. I'm not going to cancel my order because of it, will wait and see. I expect, if it's a big enough issue, that google will RMA the phones and replace the screens.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] init_dot_t:
Exactly. If it ships and is still a problem, the phone does come with a warranty. But I do think if it is a large issue they will fix them, otherwise people are just going to RMA every other month.

"Emergency Calls" only, loose SIM card tray or SIM motherboard contacts? How to fix?

lately, i have been having random issues with my phone not detecting SIM card or saying emergency calls only.

I fear it might have been cuased by me as I opened up the phone to tweak the motherboard abit in order to fix the GPS contacts being weak (which is now fixed yay!) . But at the same time, when I opened the phone, where I had to seperate the screen from the metal casing I had forgot to take out the SIM tray.

I did manage to seperate the screen even with the tray attached, and I did it very gently. that said,. I am wondering if I had some any damage. at this point i feel i may have bent some small pins, anyone have any idea to fix this?

Thanks!
