They're planning to have service centers in supported regions. Also I'm sure they'll work like Dell does and have sub contractor repair services. Xiaomi did/does something similar in asia.
they are? That would be new, as before they were saying you would mail it to the distributor. So pretty much the lowest form of service - send via mail and hope for the best.
The 'Rain of Invites' promotion ends in about 4 hours.
You too can be one of many not to get an invite.

Yup, price for [excellent looking and full of awesome hardware] G3 is not gonna be small. $700 for base model most probably.

The G3 actually sounds a bit better. I'm hoping that there will be a Nexus variant of it, but its hard to tell at this point.
Its 549 here. I'm tempted xD
Invites haven't gone out yet, except maybe to the first 100 winners. The "Rain of Invites" invites will start going out on June 6th.
Edit: With handy link: http://forums.oneplus.net/threads/behind-the-scenes-invites-are-coming.21563/
yep. Main reason I was even interested in the OnePlus is because of the price. But if the G3 isn't too expensive (wishful thinking, but I'm hoping no more than $600) I'm just gonna get that instead.
Well, that the fact that...
I'm pretty sure this phone doesn't exist so it won't be shipped anywhere. All they do is post selfies n shit on twitter, talking about the "user" experience that no one gets to experience.

Think I'll just go for one of the Prime phones when those come out. I did try the one plus one camera on my S4 and the camera wasn't up to snuff compared to the Google camera.
I would be tempted for ~300, and if it had a normal near-to-stock ROM.

When can we finally order this thing ?
The charity auction to get 15 invites on Ebay is now open. Currently sitting at $1,625.00 after 91 bids. Ends June 7.
Edit: Hmm, strange, seems it got cancelled

Is it?
Ahh maaaannnn~ now I need a phone real bad since my Nexus has been stolen. A phone less-life is hard!
If anyone can spare an invite I would really really appreciate it if I can have one. I'll give all my other invites to gaffers that need it.

(I know this isn't the thread to be posting on, but for some reason I can't find the other invite thread)
Not really. They are (on average) taking the same amount of time all major OEMs take from announcement to release, minus a few exceptions.

It got a friend who got one. Had a chance to play with the beast. It's an amazingly beautoful piece of tech. Very light, very thin, very sexy indeed. It's just too big for my hand though. I have big hands but this is just to wide and tall. wish there was a smaller size. Don't really like the trend of oversizeing everything. Price is crazy though. Never been temped by a phone like that since iPhone 4
Yeah, still being invite only this long after starting to sell it is going to kill it. All the new phones with better specs are about to come out, and all the old phones with the same specs as this are going to get cheaper.
Like the other day, I saw a LG G2 for $259 unlocked. They really need to ramp up production or people are going to move on to the Nexus when it drops.
Yes.

Between this phone, the ZTE Nubia 5S and the Huawei Ascend Mate 2 I'm never buying a $600+ phone again.
Think they'll ever open the flood gates and stop this invite nonsense?

I doubt it. All over the ´nets the demand is still so high for invites (them even being traded on eBay), that they can keep up this marketing spiel for a while.
Mine arrived yesterday and I'm super impressed with it. Device 'feels' awesome physically. I'm loving the freedom out of the box. Currently running Nova Launcher with the Elun Icon Pack (which is on sale at the moment actually https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.vertumus.elun&hl=en) and it looks stunning. I need to get everything organised and in folders, not had the time yet.
For what it's worth I have no issue with the yellow band issue many have reported. My device was manufactured on the 15th of August according to the box. I've done all the updates and cranked the brightness up but it's not there on mine thankfully - it was my one major worry.
How is the battery holding up? There are so many different stories out there.

I'm not sure why people always cream themselves over the hardware specs of these smart phones... It's not like you can play Crysis 3 on em.
Few less milliseconds during multitasking and having ULTRA UBER SMOOTH webpage rendering makes all the difference between awesome phone and all shitty last year's phone models.
No.
It does seem to come with a awesome yellow band on the bottom of the screen I've heard.

Ah, there it is. The "that guy" of the forum.
Oooh, a thread about stuff I'm not interested in, I better get in there post-haste and let them know I'm not interested in it ... oh, while I'm doing that, I'll let others know that I just 'don't get it' why they're so excited. I'm needed. They need me to post this. The forum needs me. I'm basically Batman of the forums. I'm not the poster they want, but I'm the poster they need.
Anyway, mine has SHIPPED from City of Industry ... 10:02 PM yesterday. Probably get it sometime next week I guess since it's USPS (I'm in Portland, OR). Sucks, I had no option when it came to shipping speed, it was just the basic one whereas I'm reading others have options (not sure if only in US though).

So I'm guessing this issue is not manifesting itself anymore on the devices ordered from now on, amirite?
General word of the OPO forum seems to be later versions don't seem to have it. Mine, my friends, and my brothers OPO don't have the problem, (all ordered between 12th - 30th August).

I still haven't been able to get an invite. I need a new phone as my nexus 4's battery is getting worse each day and it's been turning itself off randomly over the last couple of days.
Is it likely the next nexus phone will have better specs than this?

Most probably not, I expect N6 to get same hardware as 1+1 [N5 is already very close, lacks clock to S801, 1gb of ram and better camera].
Sorry only just spotted this. My battery has been awesome so far. It obviously depends on how much you use the device, but it'll get through a full day absolutely no problems whatsoever. I'm often putting it on charge on a night when it's still at like 40-45%.
Is that with WiFi on?

Been using this phone for a week now and I love it. Can't believe it was just 300 euros.
