"The navigation buttons deserve some attention here. Just like CyanogenMod loaded up on a phone with capacitive buttons, OnePlus One users have a choice between the build-in buttons and a somewhat superfluous virtual nav bar. ...
It's an interesting approach, but I get the impression that OnePlus is trying to have its cake and eat it too and please all users, rather than making a smaller phone by omitting the hardware buttons."
That might be true in theory, but all phones with software buttons I've seen so far always had enough space for capacitive buttons on the lower part of the bezel. OnePlus is doing it right.
That's the best thing about it! This will be my goto nav system.

This is a really annoying trend as a man who doesn't carry a bag (or murse) and keeps a naked phone in his jeans pocket. I really dig the designs, too.

I hope it doesn't take too long for accessories, like cases, to start getting made for this phone.
Here's Engadget's review:
http://www.engadget.com/2014/05/08/oneplus-one-review/
I want this phone even though it's too big for me. The 64 GB version is $150 less than what I paid for my iphone 5.
*EDIT*
Here's a calculator to help people on the fence decide if this is too big for them:

This phone looks crazy good but that comparisson pic with the nexus 5 is fucking scary, to be honest.

I'm thinking I'm gonna get this over a Galaxy Note.
Love my Nexus 4 and 7, but I'm tired of carrying the 7 all the time. Wanna just have an ultimate all in one device with a solid camera to boot.

Not out of the box, no, but since you do have access to the battery it shouldn't be hard to make it charge wirelessly with a kit.
I think this will become a major player once they release more stand sized form factor.
Oh true that. Thanks!

Exactly this. Every onscreen button phone I've seen has plenty of room for buttons below the screen, which is why I don't get the approach. Even Samsung fits a hardware button under the GS4 screen, and the space there is really slim.

The verge reviewed both the OnePus One and the Find 7a:

I wish the one plus was thinner and had an SD slot. However, I won't complain for the price.

Next phone for sure at this rate. Can't wait to see how the Nexus 6 stacks up.

The only person I've actually heard get one is a guy o n XDA and supposedly he was one of the 100, but he also stated he knew people at the company, so something tells me these 100 went to a lot of people that were friends of people that work for the company.

Unfortunately there won't be a Nexus 6. Or at least, that's highly unlikely.
The next step will be part of the Android Silver program, coming approximately in February 2015 w/ a Sprint-bound LG device in the US to begin with. (source is @evleaks, whose track record's accuracy is about 101%)
The OnePlus One, alongside current and future Nexus/GPE devices, is the closest thing to stock you will find until then.
All we (supposedly) know is that these AS phones, unlike GPEs, should come to retail stores at higher prices. Basically a bunch of Google-managed, higher-priced Nexii.

I don't know how I've never heard of this before. It looks amazing - especially the battery life. But I wouldn't want a 5.5" screen, that's mental. If they made a smaller version I'd buy it in a second. But would they make one that was ~5"? I wouldn't mind going bigger than the Nexus 4, but staying the same would both make sense and be fine by me.
Marques Brownlee has an excellent review:

Really disappointing to hear that Cyanogen kinda runs like crap. I was hoping it would be better than their other releases because this was their phone.
Oh well. Guess I'll stick with whatever suceeda the Nexus 5, or maybe I'll just get a Note.

Nice review. Liked the pictures he showed, but I didn't hear him touch on battery life? Why does he cast doubt on Cyanogen updates, haven't they been around forever? And how would those updates work exactly? I'm assuming they roll out stable updates after being beta tested by the community but I touched run custom roms since I got my N4. Gonna have to see what a 5.5" phone feels like before I decide.
As luck would have it, I just found this video that touches on the battery life issue.

I'm kind of concerned about the phone now due to the home button delay issue and the question of whether CM can deliver timely updates. I still want it but there's hesitation now.

It's not actually a software issue, just when using the default settings it's waiting for a double tap to bring up the recent apps list. You can disable it in the options but a few reviewers seem have skipped over the option.

As luck would have it, the video details have been updated with this line:
UPDATE: After researching some of your comments, you guys are correct about the home button. The delay can be turned off in the settings once the capacitive butttons have been enabled again. Thank you guys!!
