I've gone and chanced the Oppomart one with a rosewood back. The 3 variants have little effect on us in Europe, the Chinese version will work on all existing 4g networks in Ireland so no downside...

How much did it work out for you in € total?

After looking into it, If your on three mobile you may have a reduced LTE coverage as they use 800mhz for some of their rural coverage. But if your happy with the One's LTE reception then you'll be happy with it as its no different.

After seeing my nexus 5 pulling LTE in places that the opo cant, I think I'll hang on for the invite myself.

466euro inc postage and a Rosewood Swapstyle cover...

I wouldnt use Three if you paid me to use, too many bad experiences with that network.

And did I read it's posted from within EU?

Think I'll go that route next month if I have the money

jones · 12-08-2015 10:40am

Just noticed i've dropped down the invite list. I checked it last night i was originally 460k on the list and now i've 498k. The invites people are giving out when they purchase the phone obviously do jump ahead of the queue

maximoose · 12-08-2015 10:41am

You'll continuously move down the list as the people below you do referrals to move above you.

jones · 12-08-2015 10:44am

Dammit!!

If you refer people to the list you jump up... you can swizz it if you want with Mailinator addresses.

FYI for anyone buying from China and wanting Dual SIM use.

'The Chinese version only has one IMEI meaning you will not have dual-SIM capability outside of China. If you like having dual SIMs, do not buy the Chinese version'

From a mod on the oneplus site.

I call bull on that, In fact I'll bet every dual sim phone has only one Imei and that would only be a problem if you tried to join the same network twice.

Oppomart say its dual sim capable... It either is or isn't... another thing... Dual Sim is primarily for the Asian market where there is a HUGE demand for such things so it would amaze me if they gimped it in the very region that demands it.

A forums mod is not a reliable source.

Could be. It was admin if that adds anything.
Maybe they don't like the reselling?

Anyhoo the link is here:

Maybe so (one thing is sure... they REALLY dont like reselling)... im not pushed on Dual Sim eitherway, 1 is enough for me but when I get it I will throw another sim card in and let ye know.

Agreed i dont think i fully get how these invites work

fionny · 13-08-2015 9:57am

Folks remember this is not an invite list its a reservation for unused invite list...

Shared invites by people who bought the phone through competition or early supporters etc... At OnePlus's discretion.

Eh no, the first page only links the the reservation list, not the invites list

Ya dig?

maximoose · 13-08-2015 1:54pm

There is no public invitation list.

When I joined the reservation list I was 30k in the list, today I'm 101k on the list.

I bought the OPO last year and a ball of accessories through out the year.

And I'm going backwards on the list

So for me I'm finding it a very negative experience so far

:(:(

Well like I said the reservation list is a reservation list for unused invites... the actual invites will go out to early supporters... people who bought the OPO (like you) and contest winners... then their friends etc... so you might get an invite long before you get to the front of their spam encouraging reservation list.

Or just buy the chinese version like me... even if dual sim doesnt work I dont care I have never needed two sims before and still dont now.

emo72 · 13-08-2015 6:23pm

Nobody knows where they stand? It seems to be a tiny trickle of invites getting out. I bought 3 64 gig phones last year and a couple of accessories plus was relatively early subscribed on the forums. Nobody knows what the criteria is. Couldn't care if I get a new moto x or the 2. Whoever sells it without hassle wins!

funkyouup · 13-08-2015 7:01pm

Its getting a bit annoying, i can put up with their marketing strategy, great from their point of view as it costs next to nothing in comparison to their competitors, but the fact no one really has any of idea what their position on the reservation list actually means or even a rough idea of how long we will have to wait. Seen a post on their site of some issues with the charging cables as well. Doesn't fill me with confidence.

god's toy · 13-08-2015 8:44pm

I'm thinking things will start to pick up around the 15th onwards.

smithy1981 · 14-08-2015 8:13am

Could ya stick me down too please.

Had a nice bump up the list yesterday, went form 300,000 to 78,000. Is everyone else moving in the right direction at last?

Are those Chinese version ones cause it makes me suspicious when they have to install the google play store.

If from Aliexpress then yes chinese... does that matter? Nope... Ive one on order from oppomart... only thing that might not work in Ireland is dual sim... (so OnePlus claim) but ill believe when I see it.

acquiescefc · 14-08-2015 12:10pm

Hoping mine arrives before i leave for holidays on friday.

Fr_Dougal · 14-08-2015 7:04pm

28k on the list, was 30k previously.

It was indeed! I hope to have it in 2 weeks, tops. Paid for Express Delivery (only an extra fiver).

Now I just have to wait!

madmannohj · 14-08-2015 8:12pm

Hi Lads,

I'm looking for a OnePlus 2 myself and currently I'm 8,705 in the reservation list.. Can ye add me to the Boards.ie list because I want a OP2 as soon as possible and I'm not too far near the top so will have invites to post back relatively soon!

I do hate this invite system though, and was looking at the OP2 on oppomart the Chinese online store.. is it dodgy to buy there or should I just wait it out ??

Great stuff. Were you on the reservation/waiting list? If so what number were you?
