Waiting six to seven weeks for an $850 phone to ship can be a dangerous thing.
Google announced the Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL with a lot of hype and fanfare at its October 4 event, and soon after the official unveiling, a lot of people were quick to sprint to the Google Store to get their preorders placed ASAP.

That's a lot of cash to hand over for a new phone, and with some preorders not expected to ship until November, the possibility for buyer's remorse can be quick to set in.
For a handful of users on our forums, that feeling has already started to creep up on them.

Then again, the majority of people who got their preorders in still appear to be quite excited about their purchase.

One user also dished out some wisdom from an old friend.
