Strange .. Seems to be white back, which would make it the Chinese version running color OS?
Actually it allows you to choose color which is stranger ?
If you click on the photos they show a black and white, black is $10 more.
Is everyone just getting white?
just asked on chat and got this:
Yes this is a Chinese version as this phone is mainly intended for Chines customers
Important Information Please note that this is the Chinese variant of the mobile, with CyanogenMod and Google Play installed prior to order fulfilment.
Comes in black and white.

Lol. Yeah it is a good position to be in. Just hope i dont have any yellow tint issues.
Official international version in 64gb is Black only.
If it is the Chinese version that has been flashed with Cyanogen - OPO have stated that you may have an issue with your warranty being honoured.
Basically this is a scalped Chinese version ....
Still waiting on my invite. Don't really need the phone but since I've been waiting this long, might as well buy it if I get one.
Here is something I found at XDA. I have tried it as I did mine through a win7 VM on my iMac. But look through it and see if this will work for you....

Thanks i'll save that link for later. Some how I figured it out through trial and error on my surface pro. Finally free tethering on android!!
Done! Just sent you another one after the first one!
By the way, how's the GPS performance on the OnePlus? That's something I'm really interested in.
Does it find your location without problems in Google Maps when your inside your house for example?
And how fast and accurate is it outside?

It does great on GPS...i have not had a problem with it......It picks up location fast and get a lock....no issues so far!
The whole invite disaster crap aside, what else is a compelling reason to get the OnePlus One ?
- Price ? Ok, you can the Nexus 5 for the same price, but it is outdated compared to the OPO. But the Nexus 6 is just 2 or 3 months away, will be the same price and newer better hardware.
- Most people buy a new phone on contract, for typically like $149 or so. A brand new Galaxy S5, HTC One M8, or LG G3 or Apple iPhone 5S, will only run you like $99 to $199 at ATT, T-Mobile, Sprint, or Verizon.
- Screen seems ok, but that large size of 5.5" at 1080p I think will be outdated quickly, it seems all newer phones with large screens are going 1440p.
- Size, I think the LG G3 form factor is way nicer for the same sized 5.5" phone, the G3 is more compact and smaller bezels.

I've only had this phone for a few days and the yellow tinge issue aside, this is the best android phone I've used. No crashes yet, FAST, great form factor, comfortable to hold for such a large phone. The buttons are well place unlike the Note 3 I had.
They could give it away for free or pay me to take it and I still wouldn't touch anything by a Chinese company.
Damn.
I thought I was registered at the OnePlus One forum website, but I wasn't!
Just registered now to see if I get an invite somewhere along the way
Might sell my G2. Love the phone, but the GPS is terrible, and I need a good GPS. Gonna check more options, but the OnePlus is right now the best alternative IMO.
Just saw a OnePlus on eBay being sold for 330 euros, which is not bad.
