Profiteering. Thats not the way it works. It's only worth €300 if the box was unopened and it would still be classed as new. It is now second hand and would be hassle to return it under warranty so it would be worth less. You'd also need to be taking a hit on the postage

It's a free market he can ask what he wants for it, I don't think he's asking enough for it.

Maybe but he wouldn't have a hope of getting that much if the price hadn't risen. So he is trying to profit from the raise in price.

But the price did rise.

Now the price has gone up, here's another quick shout for the the Oppo Find 7a as an alternative. It's €349 including delivery, and you get bluetooth headphones, a 32gb Micro SD card, a screen protector, case and flash charger.

Battery and storage are removable, meaning they're upgradable - the official 3000mAh battery is €19. It doesn't have the One's 3GB memory (it only has 2GB) but otherwise it's a very similar phone. OnePlus and Oppo are owned by the same company in fact.

You think the company selling the phone aren't making a profit?

If you've an issue with someone making a profit by selling something you must have a hard-time living in the Western World.

How is the software and software upgrade support? Can it be flashed with the same Roms as the OnePlus?

The latter is fairly unlikely as they are different handsets. Looks like the phone ships with JB but there's a KitKat update ready to go:

Is there a version of Cyanogen for it, would be a contender if there is

Mine went straight to 'pending shipment' and is now 'processing'.

:
I ordered a 64GB on Tuesday at midday. Chose express shipping.
They sent me an email this morning saying that the phone had shipped with a tracking number for DHL.

DHL has the below
Thursday, March 26, 2015 Location Time Piece
1 Shipment information received LONDON-HEATHROW - UK 09:00
no further updates so expect it to arrive on Monday.
It would have been nice to have it for the weekend.

Just received my package from dhl ( I've been informed by my other half as I'm at work). I would think its my opo as I haven't ordered anything else. I received no notification or tracking number from them but not bothered now, so happy days .

Sweet.
Please let us know later what you make of it.
Also, what version of CM comes it it? I take it it should be 11S (4.4.4)?

thats the annoying thing, we both ordered the 64gb version with the same shipping!

He got a flip case with this so I'm thinking the tempered screen must be out of stock.

He got a mail this morning with tracking number and its out for delivery today.

First world problems really though :P

dj_louth

Ordered my 64gb version at 10pm tuesday and its now with the courier on its way to me in louth. Cant wait to get it!

ErinGoBrath

Mine shipped today however I made a balls of the ordering and selected Royal Mail. No idea when I'll get it

TBi

Ordered mine with a case. Still "Processing"

Is there a decent protective case you can buy for this?

mass_debater

Need an invite for a 64GB if anyone has one going spare, ordering tonight if I can get one

You can use the Royal mail tracking code on the An Post website to see what its doing once in IRL.

I could anyway.

Sorry only getting back on now , was messing about with the phone for a while.
Its running cm11.0 android 4.4.4
First impressions of it was that its massive ( compared to my s3). But have gotten use to it already.
I didn't order a screen protector but definitely will be ordering one , and I have ordered a cover from amazon a Tudia tpu cover.
Brilliant phone quick and responsive .
No complaints so far.

hatchman

The battery life is unbelievable !! On it a lot today and its only at 67% my S3 would be on charger by now. Only one complaint I keep hitting the home button instead of the space bar when typing.

fuerte1976

Mines arrived just now... Gotta love DHL at this hour..

Yes it's really good, got mine Wed charged by 8pm usual playing/installing and battery lasted about 2 days. Has really exceeded my expectations.

partyatmygaff

Battery life is phenomenal with certain custom ROMs (Exodus Vanir). Nearly 8 hours of screen on time and next to no drain when the phone isn't awake.

TerrorFirmer

Loving the phone. Fantastic to use and the battery life is incredible - massive improvement on my Nexus 5.

MAJJ

Phone isn't perfect but still happy overall.

One lockup and one random reboot and auto rotate acting up.

mikemac1

Really liking the new phone. Quick, responsive and I've gotten used to the bigger size.

Had an S4 before this and while it was a good phone the battery life was terrible and it would drain away quickly even with light use. The OPO blows it away for battery life. A lot less bloatware then Samsung too!

I dislike the feel of the sandstone a lot and am going to get a case. Some reviewers are impressed, its not for me.

I have used lollipop on the S4 and liked it. These two updates upcoming soon have me rightly confused and I'll leave it a few weeks to see what others do.

As regards flashing, ROMs and stuff like that I haven't a notion what that means I only want a phone, not a project

I bought 2 phones . One black for me one white for missus. Hers is nicer to hold. I actually said what you said to her this morning.
This is some phone tho.. And I'm a crapple gimp..

I have an invite if anyone wants it.

delynet

Another invite here

I have one too, they must have sent a few last night

Me too, PM if you want it.

Bought this last Tuesday to replace my Sony Xperia T whose battery was dying and performance was turning to crap. The phone was delivered on Friday.

First impressions is that the phone is huge in comparison to what I have. The performance is excellent and I haven't had any calls drop (using it with three). The phone design is lovely as well, it feels really solid but is not too heavy. I got the flip case with it which does provide decent protection as well.

irishproduce

I've a 64GB invite if anyone wants it

Boxfresh

I have one of these aluminium bumpers but I'd rather a case if anyone is willing to swap?

dinnybyrne

I could use an invite?
