The phone will probably last all day and takes 15mins to charge for like 7 hours.
You can't take a 15min break from your music in 7 hours of use?
exactly.. that can be done on a £100 chromebook
Google Clips!
Did anyone notice this announcement today? GoPro will have a lot of competition as this new small action camera is priced very competitively.
This is what I saw on a US site: "Google Clips: Google showed off a new clip-on camera that can take photo and video remotely and synchronizes what it captures instantly with a connected phone through an app. Google said the camera was launching "soon," and would work with the Pixel, Samsung (005930.SE) S7 and S8 phones as well as iPhone 6 and up. GoPro Inc.(GPRO) stock suffered immediately after Google introduced the camera as Clips will be an option for some who would buy GoPro's cameras and will be priced cheaper than the action cameras GoPro sells, at $249."

I was also going to buy a home mini so it's technically a £750 phone minus what I sell my brand new XL for (thanks google).
Some Sony SBH80's almost 2 years old now. Quite tempted by the Pixelbuds tbh. (Who ever it is getting angry about Oreo having a Bluetooth problem... it doesn't. Two different headphones, my bike helmet, my car, all work fine. Unfortunately you have a Bluetooth problem
)A good point, I was thinking this myself. I don't know if I can get £550 or so for my year old Pixel XL, so really it's only costing me £200 to upgrade. I'm fine with that.
I don't think they're competitors tbh. GoPro is an action camera for adrenaline junkies (yes, of course others use it too) where as the Clip is for new parents capturing moments. Two camera's probably couldn't be for much different target audiences than that.
looked like a camera for perverts.. and the chap doing the presentation looked like he'd been sniffing the white stuff

It's a voucher code, so you'll probably get it in the box like the Play Music promotion with the original Pixels.
If I pay £899.00, I don't want compromises.

Good points. On the Pixelbuds, I did notice the Play Store is wait list only now. I assume the retailers will have them....Carphone/EE.

But do you REALLY listen to 7 hours straight without breaks? Let's be realistic now.
The bigger issue for me is that if I buy some good headphones, I want to be able to use them with everything. Just because the phone has bluetooth doesn't mean I can use them on flights for the in-flight entertainment or just at home with my desktop. I don't want to buy two sets of expensive headphones.
Of course not, maybe 3 hours continuously at the most. But do have 2 wireless chargers, one next to my bed and one at work. As normal USB cables never seems to last and wireless is so much more convenient.
On the "unlimited storage", looks better than your comment. They say:
"Free, unlimited original-quality storage for photos and videos taken with Pixel through the end of 2020, and free, unlimited high-quality storage for photos taken with Pixel afterwards."

My Sony MDR-1000X is arguably the best noise cancelling, wireless Bluetooth headphones on the market right now. Bonus point, it also comes with a cable so you can use it with device such as Nintendo Switch which do not have bluetooth.
So yes, it will work with everything.
There you go, problem solved. Get the Sony MDR-1000X, it even comes with that little adaptor for airplanes.
What do you mean that a normal cable never seem to last? In 10 years of iPhone usage i have never broken a single cable...
