How was the transition to a 5.5" phone? Was it hard to get used to the larger screen? Are you able to use the ONe now comfortably and reach all the menus without too much hassle? Can you use it with hand at least occasionally?
So far the transition has been pretty smooth. It does not seem like a large phone at all to me. I also have the M8 and the OnePlus seems to be the same size to me. It has a very nice feel in the hand. I do not use my phones one handed. It just doesn't feel right to me...i always hand hand holding while the other touches the phone or two handed while texting. But occasionally i am able to use it one handed. I am really enjoying this phone. It has become my daily driver over my M8.

Congrats on the invite. Are all invites still only good for 24 hours?

For me it has been well worth it. It has become my daily driver. I thought the size would bother me bit so far it has not. Great phone fast responsive and great build quality.

Sweet, thanks. Wished I was a little more patient in getting the G3. Oh well, I can always resale if I don't like it.

How long did it take for you to receive it. There were no other shipping method than Standard shipping.

I got it in 5 days using express....but they say standard is actually faster. It uses USPS 2 day I think. I would put the build quality right there with my HTC M8.

What are the options(normal price) for people wanting one who haven't tried getting an invite? Are these eventually going to be on amazon etc?

I think they expect to be able to meet demands in Sept or Oct. for mass sales/production.

Yeah, it's a ridiculous system. I am just hoping to get one by next week (Member# 8178) because if I don't I'm either going after a GPE M8, G3, or I'll say screw it and use my Nexus 5 until the iPhone 6 is released. I would like better battery life out of the Nexus...

You're number #6341. You will probably get a invite next week......
I don't think likes or posts or points have anything to do with it. They are going by date registered on the site.

Some were reporting they have a yellow line at the bottom of the screen. Mine does not have it.
Here is an interesting read at the OnePlus forums.....

https://forums.oneplus.net/threads/re-yellow-screen.40239/

Yeah I think its the entire screen, I’ve played around with the settings to try to get it as white as my nexus 5 screen... close but not there yet hopefully they will push some more updates, and I still haven’t found the HDR option so I just downloaded google camera.......I don’t want to RMA the phone so early so I’ll just give it time have you bought any accessories for your phone ( cases, screen protectors

They have a few accessories on their site. But they are always out of stock.
This site has a few cases. But really i don't think you will need a case with this phone. The back is very scratch resistant and very easy to hold on too.

That's the theory bud, but seems I've fallen into the skipped pile. There are any users who have fallen into this void despite having everything set up correctly..

It is the most horrid system ever implemented.

No argument there MRU......this startup has made so many mistakes.
