Nope but I'd say its 100% safe. Aliexpress is like ebay, has buyer protection etc and the seller doesn't get the money until you confirm its received and in order.

The only catch really is that its the Chinese version which has been flashed with CM11s. There is no cyanogen words on the back cover (as it comes with color os by default in china) and OTA updates might not work. Other than that its the exact same phone and you receive it exactly as you would if buying direct from OPO

Couldn't give two hoots about no "cyanogen" on the back. The lack of OTA updates is a whole different kettle of fish however. I've been doing a spot of reading on reddit and there's a lot of people saying the updates work fine. Hmm decisions, decisions. Patience is a virtue, seldom in a woman and never in a man.

Also I see from the Chinese phones thread you're rather notorious for your predilection towards aliexpress! Not that there's anything wrong with that. Moreover it probably makes you more qualified.

They could work fine, I was just assuming as its not unusual for OTA to not work on imported phones.

I say go for it if you cba waiting.

I like aliexpress that's all, nothing sinister

. They usually have the best prices and all the sellers feedback is out in the open, unlike stores that operate their owns sites where you have to guess if they are legitimate or not.

iwantthat · 25-08-2014 6:02pm

so who is next in line........???

my guess would be Zagato but im not sure

i think the doc could be clearer, moving all those who have gotten an invite already to the right hand side of the spreadsheet would help, as would a strike column for people being offered an invite but not executing on it, so we can manage people who are inactive and move them to the end of the list

EDIT: looking back, Zagato got a PM about an invite but didnt respond in time. not sure if he responded within the 24 hour deadline, if he didnt he's supposed to be removed from the list.

davelawlor · 25-08-2014 7:22pm

Hi, if someone hasn't used boards that much, ie. me, Am I basically shunned for an invite. Be as blunt as you like!

yabadabado · 25-08-2014 7:42pm

OK folks,I have updated the list.
On sheet 1 I have removed anyone who has received an invite and now there is a copy of the original sheet 1 showing everyone who was on it.
I hope that clears up any confusion ,anyone who is on Sheet 1 is still waiting for an invite.

You got it in one!!

From the first post

"A few conditions which will hopefully keep the system as fair and transparent as possible.
*You will be added to the list by your post here,first come/first served(no PM's)
* You must have been a boards.ie member before May 2014 and have a minimum 50 posts.This is to keep the invites to boards user's and prevent smash n grab."

SK1979 · 25-08-2014 10:57pm

Hi lads

You can remove me from the list. Decided to order Chinese version from Ali express.

Will post details etc when I receive it in the owners thread.

Cheers.

iwantthat · 25-08-2014 11:06pm

I am still unsure... Who is next in line. Maybe the mod can clear it up and i will pm that person with an invite.

iwantthat · 25-08-2014 11:11pm

Next 2 people in list are dubal and tipgirl
Can you guys pm me. Please.

yabadabado · 25-08-2014 11:15pm

The link to the list is on #1.

Zagato is next inline.

Do you have an invite to pass on ?

iwantthat · 25-08-2014 11:18pm

Yes. I have three of them. One is kinda reserved for someone but i might give that away too. So for now i have two of them to give away. The previous poster said zagato did get an invite but never replied so i assumed I will just go to next two people.

yabadabado · 26-08-2014 12:29pm

Invites accepted by Dubal and Tippgirl passed on by Iwantthat.

tippgirl123 · 26-08-2014 12:38pm

invite used from Iwantthat, Thanks so much

BionicRasher · 26-08-2014 1:13pm

OK - Maybe I am lucky but after giving yabadabado the first invite to kick all this invite thread off I have somehow gotten another one to pass on

I cant access Google Docs in work so I cant see who is next in line. Can someone PM me the details and I will pass on this invite too as I cant afford to purchase at the moment.

BTW it says in the email
To use this invite, please follow this link to claim it as yours (you have less than 24h to do so) and I got the email 18hrs ago so whoever gets the invite needs to act quick

yabadabado · 26-08-2014 1:26pm

Aodhagan next inline .

blocparty · 26-08-2014 3:38pm

I love this community!

seems to be moving along nicely as more and more invites hit the ground!

tomorrow could be a monster day with the 10k invites coming on stream for the photo contest!

justsomebloke · 26-08-2014 5:09pm

Have sent él statutorio a PM asking did they want an invite, will let you know if he gets back to me

BionicRasher · 26-08-2014 5:14pm

I sent Aodhagan and El statutorio a PM with invite but neither replied so I gave the invite to WezzyB

My invite had a tight expire date on it so needed to be acted on ASAP

safetyboy · 26-08-2014 7:50pm

I just got another invite to hand out who's next on the list that's gonna use the invite

yfaykya · 26-08-2014 7:54pm
