It should go without saying but only enter modbot contests for keys you will use yourself. It is quite frowned upon to use modbot to get keys for friends or for sale.

 

[Randy Lanzarote]

Thanks, I've entered the raffle. Been looking at picking up an LG G Pro 2, but wouldn't mind having a chance at getting a OnePlus One.

 

[TheLucifer]

Damnit, I'm two post short Thought I posted more in here, at least once. Oh well.

 

[asdad123]

I'm somewhere on the invite list so I guess I'll enter the modbot thing if I can. Been trying to get an invite for a while

How do I check how many posts I have in this thread? Probably not enough hah.

 

[syllogism]

Do I need 5 posts in this thread to be eligible? I assume yes, but it seems like an unnecessary restriction for this specific giveaway. There are fewer than 20 posters who are eligible for this giveway if so.

Yes you do.

The way I know to do it is find the thread in the OT forum and click on the number of posts in the thread, then ctrl+F for your name.

Yeah.

 

[BigJonsson]

Haha wow, I have the 2nd most posts in the thread

 

[PaulExcellent]

I ended up entering the raffle.
My S3 is going through a wall if it doesn't stop being such a piece of junk. :/

I'm going to sound like an arse but you needed to have 5 posts in the thread to enter it.

Oh, whoops. Well, I apologize.
And you don't sound like an arse! I should have read better.

I know that feel My phone lasted a year, I don't really think I'll be able/want to keep it until Christmas or something, I need a phone now.

 

[syllogism]

I assume the post counts are tallied at the time the raffle begins, not when the countdown ends. Not that I'm tempted to suddenly get chatty or anything.

I would assume so too.

Probably. Still, I'm sure this won't be the last giveaway, so I think it's for the best to be a little more active.

 

[moris]

So the list is worthless now?

 

[Randy Lanzarote]

I completely missed the part about having 5 posts. D'oh.

Oh well, at least it got me to register on the OnePlus One site. Guess I'll check their G+ page to see if there are any comps to sign up to.

 

[kharma45]

Unless we can get everyone on it back to thread to say whether they're in or not still, and track what's sent to who, I would probably say yes :\

 

[Yaboosh]

The list is a hassle for people who didn't get their invites from the list. If toy got your initial invite from the list i think you have an obligation to use the list. Otherwise, eh.

 

[Fermbiz]

I hope I entered the contest correctly. I don't consider myself a lurker... I added my name to the list a long time ago and posted in this thread a couple of times...

I'm gonna be an arsehole again

 

[flaxknuckles]

Yeah, I wasn't sure whether or not to do the 5 posts thing. I ended up figuring that those who wanted the phone enough to put their name on the list probably kept up with the thread. And going down that list trying to give away 4 soon-to-be expiring invites to people who may or may not already have one sparked my lazy gene. Sorry guys lol

These are the $350 64gb phones from the Storm of Invites by the way.

 

[Fermbiz]

Darn....

 

[Yaboosh]

My phone arrives today. Yay.

Should have made a 20 post threshold

 

[Randy Lanzarote]

So are the invites for specific models? (ie. you buy a 16gb, you get invites for the 16gb model?)

 

[BigJonsson]

The demand for the 64gig was way higher so that is the only model they are making for now

 

[Fermbiz]

Well, I guess for the future...

Still using my Galaxy S3. Good phone but showing is age. I got a slight burn in at the top of my screen that looks to be from my gmail app.

Wanted the Xperia Z2... Since Sony pretty much failed to bring it to the states, I lost interest in it. And since the OnePlus was announced with its amazing price, I cannot see myself buying any other phone that costs more than $400.

Heh, I'm with you on the S3 boat. My screen is fine, though.
That sounds like a huge bummer. :/

 

[TurbulentTurtle]

Damn, I was kinda hoping the list was actually going to see some use...
I guess being #195 isn't gonna be doing anything for me.

I'll probably end up just upgrading my phone to something else at this point.

I think ill get an invite from oneplus before I even get one from the list (256).

Member number 54xxx at oneplus. They apparently are up to 50,000. Might be worth waiting depending on your member number.

59xxx here, thought I'd get one this week but it looks like they are sending out the referral invites this week

I know :/ just our luck. Soon though, hopefully next week.

 

[tensuke]

I guess it doesn't matter so much but on the list I put that I'd give 1 invite since we didn't know how many we'd get, someone can change it to the maximum, whatever that is. Orrr I don't even know if we're still using the list haha.

 

[Fermbiz]

Also tried the World Cup contests but nothing. Browsed the OnePlus forums a few and nothing. Also tried their stupid twitter invites and that was a complete failure.

Most likely going to have to wait for an actual invite now straight from the company itself.

 

[neojubei]

Who are the next 5 people on the list?

 

[beat]

Big thanks to flaxknuckles!

Interestingly, the OnePlus site has no cases for sale right now... but ebay has bunches from multiple sellers. Aluminum bumpers, flip cases, etc. Argh, too many choices! Someone tell me what a good case for this is. (I've used a case for all my smartphones since I've always found them slippery when bare.)

 

[ss_lemonade]

Finally received invites to share out (5, though I might only be able to give out 3 or 4).

So how will we work this out lol? That list doesn't seem too reliable

 

[TurbulentTurtle]

Last I heard from this thread is that google at position #3 from the list is next in line.
I would send them a PM and ask if they're interested in the invite or have received one yet. Then work your way down the list.

 

[eemijun]

If the invites expire in 24 hours then going down the list and waiting for people to respond might not be the most efficient.

 

[moris]

PM'ing a bunch from the list according to order priority and ask them to stay tuned if the one above them don't answer back within a set amount of time, give to the one that responded?

Same as mentioned above, #3 is next in line.

 

[ss_lemonade]

That's the problem. Mine expires in 2 days.

Guess I'll pm a bunch and wait til the end of the day for responses

 

[antiquegamer]

My phone arrives today. Yay.

Same here but I was in the shower and my kids fail at answering door ... so I have to wait for re-deliver tomorrow. I didn't realize they send the package out signature require (well I should have guess). My postwomen usually rang door bell and ran off to her truck and take off so it's not entirely my kids fault.

 

[G.Newell]

Are we really not using the list. Fairly annoying being 23rd on the list. I always keep up to date with the thread but dont have much time to comment being at work most of the time it pops up.

My wife used the phone coming as an excuse to use a sick day, hah.

They weren't sending phones out with signature confirmation originally, but started July 21st due to the amount of packages that were apparently getting taken from people's porches.

 

[BoboBrazil]

Thanks to flaxknuckles contest, I'll have a oneplus soon You are awesome man. For other people that got one, how long did it take you to receive the phone?

 

[kharma45]

So, um, I made my payment with PayPal and I'm getting this.

Happened to anyone else?
