Both models out of stock already.

Simi · 10-03-2015 10:02am

Absolute bargain. Only downside is that it's going to be recommended constantly whenever anyone asks for phone advice on boards!

TitianGerm · 10-03-2015 10:02am

That's a great price.

MayoForSam · 10-03-2015 10:03am

Yes, good deal alright, I ordered one from Germany last week using mailboxde.com, still waiting.

CantGetNoSleep · 10-03-2015 10:18am

I'm assuming these are shipped from Europe yes?

From the UK.

GottaGetGatt · 10-03-2015 10:21am

No stock

ct5amr2ig1nfhp · 10-03-2015 10:21am

Both models appear to be in stock at the moment.

Didn't see it mentioned but 16GB model (white) is 269 EUR, the 64GB model (black) is 299 EUR.

Edit: tried it again and both showing in stock. Am able to get all the way through to checkout. It says on the page "Every Tuesday. 24 hours. No invite needed".

marcbrophy · 10-03-2015 10:41am

2 shipping options, nice to see.

€18.99 or €19.99

WTF?? :mad:

Has anyone tried their Silver Bullet Earphones?

What about shipping to parcel motel?

Think you might have to use the UK site then, meaning higher price for the unit, but you'd still have to pay shipping to 1+ so it would be way dearer.

Correct me if I'm wrong

Also, I though that goggle charging £10 to ship the Nexus' was a bit steep, but turns out it's cheap

kingstevii · 10-03-2015 11:12am

ordered!

marcbrophy · 10-03-2015 11:17am

Ordered too, thanks OP.

Bit the bullet and went for the posh 19.99 delivery

Thargor · 10-03-2015 11:37am

OnePlus are going to corner the market at that price tbh when it sinks in.

Sadly, not all earphones are created equal.

Ordered... Damn it... I didn't need a new phone.. Oh well, Another Nexus 5 will be hitting Adverts :P

machalla · 10-03-2015 1:32pm

Tempting but I just realised how large the screen is. I've a nexus 4 and I consider that verging on a bit too large for ease of use. A comparison tool below for anyone wanting to compare screen sizes.

I went from a Nexus 4 to the Oneplus, at first I was worried about the size but you get used to it in no time.

This +1. Went from N4 to OnePlus. No bother with size and you don't notice it after a few days. Great upgrade. With the pricing, make sure you pay the small bit extra for the 64gb over the 16gb.

Same here, In fact using my work phone (HTC One M7)

It feels like a child phone now,

Go away childs phone!!!

5star02707 · 10-03-2015 2:32pm

Great price for 300 euros. But for me too late as I recently bought an S5 in January

couldv'e waited a bit longer for this 64gb O+O

conjon · 10-03-2015 2:46pm

thanks OP.. ordered.

Sappy404 · 10-03-2015 3:27pm

The Oppo Find 7a - a very similar handset - is on sale for €349 at present, including delivery, bluetooth headphones, a 32gb Micro SD card, a screen protector, case and charger. The battery isn't as good but it is removable, as is the storage.

I have z3 compact which I really like but it overheated and the rare glass cracked. I need to send it away to my insurance company when I get back to Ireland and I'll be without a phone for about 10 business days while it's repaired. I'm considering just getting this and selling the Z3 Compact when it comes back from being repaired.

Anyone think I'm mad? Z3 gets slightly higher reviews and has a ridiculously good battery but I'm really annoyed with the screen cracking.

jackoire · 10-03-2015 4:15pm

Cant signup to the site, guess the site is swamped

I've heard you can't get 4G on it in Ireland due to it not supporting band 20.

Evac101 · 10-03-2015 4:20pm

I couldn't get an invite when I was looking at purchasing a new phone back in December and, after research, I had decided on a OnePlusOne. Eventually I ordered it from Onepulsone.eu and it came in at about €350 at the time inc delivery.

I will say however that it's not a decision I've regretted - excellent phone with phenomenal battery life (i.e. rarely less then 50% when it gets charged at night and I've never had it run out).

Only true for Vodafone and o2.

Ao · 10-03-2015 4:22pm

Thanks op.

I'm seriously considering replacing my iPhone 4s with this. I find the 4s to be a grand size to fit in the pocket and hold/use with one hand. Am I mad to go up in size to this ?

Any ideas as to how long delivery takes ?
I saw somewhere that it was up to a month before.

Cheers .

It got so hot the screen cracked? What happened?

both phones get great reviews tbh, I do like the look of the Sony ones but would never spend that much on a phone, if I could get a price of a Oneplus plus a nice chunk of profit from selling the Z3 thats what I would do personally.

Just plugged it in to charge, came back two hours later, gave it a rub before putting into the case I use and noticed a crach in the top right of the rear glass. googled it and its pretty common, most common cause seems to be leaving the torch on which is possibly what I did but I don't remember turning it off at the time...

marcbrophy · 10-03-2015 4:32pm

According to the features page, 4G works on 3 and EE in this country!
Didn't know we had EE in Ireland

@bmm I'm wondering myself if pocket size will be an issue with this one !

jackoire · 10-03-2015 5:02pm

Ordered mine, damn you Bargain Alerts. It will be a nice upgrade from the Landvo L200G. A cracked screen is my excuse.

marcbrophy · 10-03-2015 5:16pm

Anyone know when we can expect shipping?
I saw 4 business days on the order email earlier, but will it take that long?
I'm too impatient for my own good haha.

Can't see why not. You get an invoice and as far as I remember it had a Vat number on it. Now that there selling in Ireland I'm sure they will have an Irish Vat number.

Does Irish consumer law apply to purchases from them now? i.e could I take them to Small Claims court if they were being difficult about a repair etc.

Most people who've had a problem have had very few complaints.
And most who complained, complained about the hassle of sending the OnePlus back to the UK to be sent back to Hong Kong for repair.

Ok, but does Irish law now apply to them, as they are selling in Ireland?

I assume it would. But why are you asking this now before you've even bought the phone ? Don't be expecting the worse

I'm a worrier

When its this amount of cash, I'm always wary.

The non-expandable storage is the only thing putting me off. I love my 64GB MicroSD card!

I have the phone about 6 months now and it's never missed a beat. I've had an iphone 4s, an HTC M7 and a Samsung Note 3 before the One Plus and for the money this costs it easily beats all the above.
You hardly need 128gb of space on a phone anyway.

If you can wait a couple of months more, don't buy this phone. The oneplus 2 will be announced at the start of april. Then you just need to get an invite to buy it. getting an invite will take about 4-5 months i think unless you are extremely lucky

I'm holding out for this too, hoping it is around the same price

.E_C_K_S. · 10-03-2015 6:46pm

Just picked up one, presume next week or thereabouts for deliveries? Cheers OP!

Eazzah · 10-03-2015 7:13pm

Was actually going to upgrade this week since my contract is out. You'd hardly think meteor would order this in it I paid them part? Otherwise HTC one M8 will have to do.
