I got an invite and ordered the OPO 64GB black. It says it is "pending shipment".
The invite email says that they have one in the warehouse reserved for my invite. Then it would ship with 3-7 days.
We will see....... I was not going to get one and was certainly not going to beg for an invite. But was very surprised when the invite email showed up.
Sorry I do not have any extra invites....sorry. I was only given the one invite.
When it comes I will be sure to give some thoughts and feedback. This should be interesting!

They are apparently compensating delays in shipping with an extra couple if share invites ..... They say they should be rolling them out in July :)

Either way you have to keep us posted, your the first bud to get this mythical device so we want all the ups and downs :)

Wow congrats! Finally someone we know gets an actual invite! Seems it's true after all! :D:D

Give us ALL the details to see if this device is really worth it!

Oh, by the way, how did you get that invite? I still have no idea how to get one!

I don't know how I got an invite. I only posted 25 times in their forums...and mostly to agree with others that their marketing/invite system left a lot to be desired.
I think I had like 3 points in their rating/point system. I entered one contest where you have to like/add/follow them on FB Twitter and G+.
Maybe they will end up deleting my order? Who knows......But I will do an unboxing and take a ton of pictures for you guys. :)

Meh...good price but i just dont care about that phone any longer. I wont ever buy from them till they do things the right way. Congrats to you though since you like to buy all the new devices.

I read today that the Nokia 930 wont be coming to the USA anytime soon because those idiots made an exclusive with Verizon and i was much more excited about that phone :(

It's honestly becoming a joke on the OPO forums. They had at least an ounce of transparency in the latest admin announcement. I also found it hilarious when you called out that shinymichael fellow. He must be in denial or something, his arguing points were weak and everyone else was calling him out as a fraud...lol

Lol. Yeah I had some fun with ShinyMichael :D. He really was a little ape, he tried to get a moderator expelled for saying "should have gone to specssavers" and acted hurt to try and get an invite ... He's really quite pathetic.

If it was here, majority of posters there would have been banned.

It irks me when I call out Jerry & Carl and never get a response. Read my latest

A dessert system? Haha, just what we need. I thought One plus had more pressing issues like I dunno, shipping out more phones or something to that nature. Damn a carnival, it has turned into an all out frickin festival over there.

It was done as a diversionary tactic. It's like waving keys in front of a screaming baby to distract them for a bit.

Stopped the moaning about delays, production issues, shipping issues, and lack of actual product....



For at least 20 minutes ;) ......


And points / rank don't mean anything in regards to get an invite ....

MRU, are you still interested in the device at this point?
Click to expand...

Yeah and no .... I blow hot and cold each day. I like the idea of a device I can flip between capacitive buttons and on screen buttons so I can test my mobile apps on one device and know how it will work on both. That's the only thing keeping me interested.

Buy I am sick of the too and fro, and I have challenged the admins quite a lot over there, and they always end up not answering despite my question getting lots of likes / followers. It's like the admin are scared to answer my posts.

So yeah, at the moment if I never get a device I'm not going to lose any sleep, but on same token I would buy it to at least add it to the many phones I will have used this year list.

As it gets closer to iphone 6 though, and other android releases I could easily walk away too.
