Think of this as being:

A direct competitor to the Nexus 5.

or

A Samsung Galaxy S5 at less than half the price.

Very nice/sleek/stylish phone.

I like this idea though (https://phonebloks.com), even if it doesn't look as awesome as OnePlus.

atm the phone is invite only, you have to be invited to be able to buy it. I think this will be changing shortly though, but can't be sure.

Lots of guys have this at work. Quality build and AOSP software variants make it rather appealing.

I thought the next nexus was to be the HTC m8 rebranded ?

If there's someone thinking about it, the phone is excellent.  Multi-touch is a bit off, but I guess that's software.

The battery is also huge, I just re-charged mine after 3 days... No 3G/data, just Wi-Fi.  Be ready to invest in phone protection (Case + RhinoShield), if you drop it and do any sort of damage to the screen, you've had it.  Fused screen + digitiser $200+ to fix.

I like the sound of it, and am thinking about a new phone but I find my old nexus 4 quite big already, ...what's it like size-wise day to day? I find it hard to image carrying anything much bigger in a jeans pocket!
Title: OnePlus One - uber phone
Post by: Gorion on October 08, 2014, 09:25:02 AM
It's quite big, fits in normal jeans pockets though (Proper pockets, not these 5cm pockets which are around lately). My hands are quite small, yet it fits well.

That's a one on top of a K90 keyboard.  Multi-touch fixed after power off/on.

Has anyone updated to 38R yet?

P.S don't do it manually.

I'll check my account although I think they were only around for 6 days

Edit: they have gone, sorry. You'll be the first to know when they are next about.

I thought that might be the case. Thanks for checking, and I'll keep fingers crossed some more turn up with one of you guys that bought one already! :-)

They seem to be struggling with support where customers are not receiving any response:

Yeah, that has been happening for a long while now.  They need more cc an a European mentality when dealing with support.

I have 3 invites for the  64 GB Sandstone Black version of this phone.  They expire in 6 days time, so if you want one please PM me.

One handed out, two remaining.

Reading the comments, someone reckons this is not 4G supported via band 20, does that sound correct?

Care to recommend (for or against) any particular cases that fit it? It'll need to survive mainly in pockets, but also in backpack front pockets. The nylon "shocksock" case i have has not entirely protected my N4.

I'm using the official flip case, and the RhinoShield protector.

Accessories (https://forums.oneplus.net/threads/links-oneplus-one-accessories-users-reviews-and-impressions.92331/#post-4591134)

Cases & Protectors (https://forums.oneplus.net/threads/list-of-screen-protectors-cases-thread.13698/)

Some have had problems with their one plus flip cover, I don't have any issues.

I forgot to reply sooner ... In the end I got the official flip case and tempered glass screen protector (and the ordinary screen protector which is now a spare/backup) which fit well and are pretty discrete/thin. The speed and battery life is way better than my nexus 4 and CyanogenMod is great so far. The big screen is nice to use but at the same time it's already creating a distinct ghost outline on my jeans pocket and digs in at weird angles when I sit down and walk up stairs two at a time. I'm torn between liking the screen and wishing the phone was smaller. Recommended :-)
