Eh. I'm typing this on my P10PF and I'm happy with it. The crease on the inner screen is still very visible even after two weeks+ of daily, heavy use. But the rest of the negatives I dispute. Yeah, it should have had the full-blown pro cameras, but it's in no way 'mediocre', and that's coming from someone who uses their camera a lot. It's fine. I've had no issues with biometrics, at launch or now. It's heavy and thick yeah, if that's a negative the entire product category isn't for you.
My biggest gripe is the internal screens sensitivity/touch detection is... weird. Maybe I'm being too gentle with it, but using it can piss me off in short order. Clicking/pressing on things when I'm trying to scroll, ugh. It might be the touch sensitivity, it might be my careful use, it might be apps that are dogshit with this form factor (most of the ones I use, honestly). Maybe all 3 at once. But reading or watching using the inner screen is really nice. As expected.
I'm simultaneously the core demographic for this device (geeky, always go nexus/pixel, want the unlockable bootloader...) and the worst candidate for it (physically disabled, so using it one-handed; very very very limited income, so the price was actually insane, ~20% of my gross yearly income). And the pixel care is too expensive, though I have that too, because I'd rather pay $150 for when I drop it unfolded vs a complete write-off.
I like the device though. I quickly got used to the weight and size, and opening it one-handed was easier than expected, but it stays closed securely when I'm not trying to use the big screen. A nice middle ground, I expected it to be much more difficult. And this is the first time in... 6, 7 years (?), where I'm rocking the stock os. Partially because GrapheneOS wasn't available when it arrived, and partially because the key security concerns have been addressed or mitigated.
It should be ~$1.4k to start, and 1.2k on sale (I received over $500 in store credit + 350 trade in to help pay for a bit of the device) but tbh, I'm quite happy regardless. If I knew how my experience would be before pre-ordering, I would have been much more at ease and even more excited.
E:
The taskbar? Yes, you can. Hold the vertical divider and the toggle option appears. It's a nitpick, sure, but if the author didn't check that small detail, how many other things did they assume?
