       | Now I'm strongly considering cancelling based on the ongoing
       | issue with Pixels failing to connect to emergency services.

       | This thread has multiple recent examples and the OOP is trying
       | very hard to get the word out, but so far no acknowledgment from
       | Google:

       | I'm torn because I'm a really big fan of the Pixel experience,
       | but this seems like such a major issue and no one from Google
       | seems to be willing to even acknowledge it.

         | That's absolutely terrifying.

         | I will have to remember to tell my Pixel-using family members
         | to keep local police and fire phone numbers in their contacts
         | for quick access.

       | It's amazing how underwhelming google's product launch
       | announcements are compared to apple's. Not even trying to light
       | up a platform holy war here, just saying that if you're going
       | through so much work as to create new generations of hardware,
       | seems like something more than a press release is a good idea.

       | You will only break the glass.

         | I agree. I'm going to be very sad when my Pixel 4a dies.
         | Perfect size, plus the headphone jack, and flashable to the
         | various ROMS if I need to. My ideal phone/messaging/audio
         | device, and that's really all I want in a phone these days.
