Fun fact: The Pixel 1, bottom of the line, with the new discount, would have been the perfect phone to buy for my wife to replace her current ailing Nexus 5. But guess what? The bottom-of-the-line Pixel is sold out. You can pay extra for 128GB of storage and get it right away, or for the same price, get a Pixel 2, albeit with "only" 64GB.

So now I've got a Pixel 2 on order. Delivery in mid-November.

What's at least nice about this is that our whole family will now be exclusively USB-C to charge all our phones. Sadly, there are still too many Micro-B things floating around here (e.g., the charger for my watch) and Mini-B (bicycle lights). I really would like to go all USB-C and call it a day, but that day is going to take a while to arrive.
