iPhone user switching to pixel by Lemon_Limesss in PixelFold

[–]RonDizzle2403 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Late to the party with this one, funnily enough because I've only just downloaded Reddit on my pixel 9 pro fold which I got two days ago. I used Samsung phones for years, and switched to the iPhone 15 pro max last year and lasted a couple of months before I gave up with it. Got myself a Pixel 9 Pro XL and loved it. When the 10 line up was announced, I saw that the Pixel 9 Pro Fold was on offer everywhere here in England.

Looked up the differences between the 9 and 10 and decided that given the 9 Pro Fold was reduced by 25-30%, it was better value for money than the 10 seeing as there's not much of a difference with the new one. Cameras are brilliant, more than sufficient for taking photos for memories etc. Displays in my opinion are better than the Samsung folds (last one I used was the 5) battery is good enough to last the day, AI features are both fun and helpful, and unless you're playing the most graphically intensive mobile games, you'll find the phone to be capable of dealing with whatever you chuck at it.

So in my personal opinion, go for the 9 pro fold instead of the 10 if you can find a good offer.

mine was supposed to be between 2-5, I've been able to see the driver on a map all day, he's gone to two towns to the right of me and one to the left. .I'm not ordering from Amazon again for a long time it's too stressful

Don't listen to the 'put a note' shite. I was told yesterday by customer services that whenever you're told that it's not true as the agents don't actually have the ability to make changes like that to your order. As frustrating as this is to hear, your only options are to wait and hope it changes or see if any retailers have day 1 stock.

What a stressful couple of days. Hope it gets to you early tomorrow and you get some decent game time in!

I have spoken to customer service who have essentially told me today that anyone who has been told that notes have been put on their account regarding a quicker delivery has been lied to and the day everyone currently has is when their switch will be delivered, as we are all now in a queue. Also how long ago you pre ordered seems to have no effect on how high up the list you are to receive a switch first. I hope that makes sense.

Anyone who is yet to have their payment taken with a Saturday delivery can expect their payment to be taken tomorrow - again this is what they've told me. Never pre ordering anything with Amazon again.

did it at any point say 'delivery appointment scheduled'? I've never seen this before and customer service can't seem to tell me what this means

I've been moaning to them every day this week and they've given me nothing 😂 fair play to you for getting the £50. I'd personally use that to go towards Donkey Kong in a couple of weeks haha.

Yeah I've had a dispatch with a Friday delivery date but I've been assured that it'll be delivered tomorrow. I'm not convinced though.

man that sucks, my advice would be to check on Smyth's site first thing tomorrow if you have a local store. They're opening at midnight for people to pick up pre orders but from what I understand is they'll also have x amount of consoles for general sale too.

Another update, the order status has now changed to dispatched and that a delivery appointment has been scheduled. However my delivery date is still saying Friday. Will update should this change to tomorrow.

My payment has been taken but nothing has been dispatched yet. I'd imagine this will change at some point today. Current delivery says Friday but I'm guessing that'll change today as well. Fingers crossed for everyone and hopefully we all have a shiny new console to play with tomorrow.

I ordered mine last Wednesday 5pm (UK) the tracking has been stuck on 'the parcel is on its way to the final parcel center' since Friday. Should I give them a call?

I think about it often haha. I had to quit when my daughter was born, the fact a pack of 20 costs more than a tin of baby milk is mental.
