    Got the spigen 5t case, very impressed with it compared to the OnePlus carbon case for protection.

    Mine was only dispatched from Poland yesterday and it's the back of a van out for delivery now. Good service.

    Feckers. Mine hasn't shipped yet! Even though I ordered it within minutes of it going on sale?!

    Found a shop here that sells them in-store. Was going to purchase one, but was in contact with OnePlus and was informed that the warranty would belong from the region it was bought in. The shop owner had purchased them from the Hong Kong store, so didn't want to risk it.

    I'd love to buy one, but multiple different sources have mentioned a relatively poor camera performance in low light. At this stage I'm tempted to splurging on a pixel 2, if I can find one. Or a HTC U11

    I was the same! Literally waited for the buy now button to appear and immediately purchased. Only thing was I bundled an extra charger with it - perhaps that may have added a delay?

    BTW will these definitely come with a UK plug? The pic on screen on the Irish site showed an EU plug.

    Enjoy!

    Mine was delivered by UPS, that's a bit mad. But I also didn't order any extras with the device, so perhaps it's coming from further afield.

    Phone never arrived and I know another guy in my town that actually received his yesterday from UPS too so the driver was even in my area. Delivery pushed back to today! Mild form of torture!

    Yes that's it, couldn't link to it as I was on my phone earlier, Also ordered this screen protector and it fitted with the case as the original one plus glass would not.

    I thought it would be nice to put up my initial impressions after 3 days use.

    This was my first 18:9 ratio screen device and so far it's great. I do think you might struggle a bit of you have smaller hands, but it's something you'd probably just get used to over time.

    The performance is blistering. Perhaps my idea of speed was set low since I came from using a SU6 from 2.5 years ago, to the 5T with a top end processor. But everything opens fast and unsurprisingly the 8GB of RAM keeps apps loaded for an eternity, meaning switching to background apps doesn't require a reload and is super fast.

    The battery life is fantastic so far, hard to make a real call on things in the early days since you tend to use your phone a lot more, but it seems to never run out, no matter what you throw at it.

    I did get out to the seaside to take some pics on Friday, I was very impressed to be honest. It's nice being able to shoot raw. I'll need more time with the camera to really get a feel for it.

    I'm currently waiting on a few eBay cases to arrive. I have the boxed gel case which is fine, and I left the screen protector it came with on, but I'll remove this eventually. It's a shame to put a case on it... But it would be even more of a shame to smash it too.

    Delighted with the phone so far too. Looking forward to getting my dbrand skin and clear cover in the post.

    Going off point but I got a call from my bank in work on Friday telling me that my credit card details had been compromised. The only thing I've bought in the last two months on this card is this phone off the Oneplus site. I've purchased four OnePlus phones before. Maybe the card got skimmed in my pocket but I doubt it! Just a warning to mind yourself ordering and keep an eye on transactions.

    Look at the other thread, it's happened to a lot of people. I was just advised to use PayPal.

    Few days with the 5T and so far it's been good. I do have my gripes with it but none are deal breakers. Not got to test the camera yet unfortunately but looking forward to testing the pro mode. Dash charging is fecking deadly though

    Ah crap. A friend just sent me a message about all the credit card fraud going on. I might just cancel my card to be safe.

    Would this be absolutely necessary if you don't notice any fradulent transactions ?

    True. But there's no guarantee that my card won't be used in weeks to come when I actually need it.

    On a 5T note, the emojis drive me absolutely bonkers compared to the iOS ones
