    Strong review here:

    http://www.engadget.com/2014/05/08/oneplus-one-review/

    Definitely going to pick up one of these on the basis of this and other reviews. Glowing praise so far. If anyone gets an invite be sure to share here ;-)

    I wonder if we will get it over here or have to order from UK or something.

    You'll need to order it from the OnePlus site itself selecting the UK and using Parcel Motel for delivery to Ireland. This section of the site isn't set up yet and the first lots will require an invite.

    First run of phones will NOT have band 20 which some carriers here use for 4G, so check that first. AFAIK it won't affect the Three network but may do some of the others.

    Will see if I can arrange some invites for Boardsies, but don't hold me to it!

    I would definitely be interested in an invite!

    I think it won't support Vodafone on 4G, for the time being anyway.
    Some good discussion on this thread about bands as well: http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2057195395

    Been watching this phone release unfold closely in the hope of getting one when they finally start to ship them. Seems to tick all the right boxes.
    I don't mind the invite system they are doing once it's not completely impossible to get them, which is my worry as demand seems really high!

    Boards invites would be cool!! :-)

    Fantastic looking phone but it's a bit of monster size wise. Check it out when compared beside a Nexus 4.

    16 is fine for me, I've lots of space left on my nexus 5, I mostly use the cloud

    Was interested in this as it seems fantastic value but I think it'll be too big compared to my Nexus 5.

    Unfortunately even if I can arrange some invites there would still be a few hoops to jump through. You can change the covers, there's some nice custom ones available and I'm sure more 3rd party ones will appear later. They are pushing production now more towards the 64 as they realise the demand for the 16 is low. Even if you think 16 will do you, I still think you should wait for the 64 as it will have a better re-sale value should you ever decide to sell it. Plus don't forget it can record up to 4K video which will take up a load of space!

    I don't think so. I'd imagine they'll be delivered via a European warehouse to avoid additional charges.

    Looks interesting alright, would like to see how it performs overall when its been out for a while. Not sure if I want to give up on the Nexus line just yet.

    yeah, that doesnt really suit me. nothings confirmed though? i think the one plus will be half the price of those high end phones, and in fairness my nexus was creeping up in price. 350 sterling delivered.

    No, the 32GB is €399 which works out at £325 sterling, Irish store is cheaper for both

    yeah, i got the 32 on day of release. early adapter tax:D. great that they're finally selling them over here. it would suck if they stop the cheap nexus devices after we get the google store:mad:

    its a good consolation that the likes of oneplus are selling phones like this though. it looks brilliant. i would buy one.

    I'm definitely going to pick up the 64gb version of this as soon as I can get my hands on it!

    I like my Galaxy S4, really I do. It's an excellent phone. It's just too good, I miss tinkering with my old Galaxy S1, trying to eek just a little more performance & functionality out of it. I know I could install custom firmware on the S4, but I haven't really felt the need. I just don't see myself sticking with it for another 2+ years, so it's probably best to unload it now while it's still worth something. Right?

    Anyone know what the best way to get invites will be?

    I've become a member on http://oneplus.net/ . Hope that helps.

    EDIT:
    Just found this: http://forums.oneplus.net/threads/2014-q2-production-update-updated-may-6.6854/
    Later in June - Increased general availability, people who want it should be able to get an invite without much trouble in June

    That's not too bad a wait.

    Starting to feel like the Gmail invite type of marketing. Make it hard to get and the masses will end up trying to get it.

    Good ploy.
