I am 316,000 in the waitlist that is pushing 4 million. I badly need to upgrade my phone and want to try the OnePlus 2 if I can before the iPhone 6s launches. If I don't like the OP2 I can always switch back to the iPhone. But once the iPhone launches, I can't switch to the OP2 because my AT&T Next plan would have already kicked in.
 
There is no way to circumvent the invite system other than buying from a Chinese importer. Invites are actually delayed for at least another 3 weeks according to Carl Pei's last post.

Add your at 300,000 ... Realistically unless benevolence falls your way by some miracle your looking at end of October / November ... Any more delays and possibly longer.

If you want to buy one you could try an importer like eglobalcentral but expect to pay at least $100 more. Personally if you were really desperate to try one, $100 to circumvent the ****** invite system and the wasting your time doesn't seem like that bad a tradeoff
 
Don't forget eBay. Not for invites but for the actual device from people who bought just because they received an invite and don't really want it. I suspect there will be others selling slightly underwhelmed about the upgrade from the original.
