    Seems to be a nice phone. Decent reviews too. Ships from within the EU. I have no idea how long this price will last. Oppo have a solid developer community and even link to available custom ROMs on the product page. In case anyone never heard of them, Oppo make high-end DVD and Blu-ray players

    Looks like HTC One, just another replica. Specs are good.

    Similar enough I suppose. I wouldn't really call it a replica though. I'd much prefer if it had on-screen buttons.

    oppo find 5 was both announced and released before htc one

    it is a very nice phone, but - screen could be better, brightness is ok but colors are not as vivid as on galaxy note (i know that those are completely different screens, but still...)

    bundled case is far from perfect, this phone is way too tall for flap to be opened on long side, it doesn't have hole for notification led (nothing that can't be fixed with hole puncher) but i have to say 'kickstand' feature is nice

    i didn't spent too much time with original oppo rom as i flashed omni rom right away so i can't comment on that

    de gustibus non est disputandum but why would anyone prefer to have ~150 pixels (almost) permanently (almost) blocked with buttons? ;)
    nice winter feature is that it's 4 core processor gives a lot of heat when you playing games and keeps your hands warm ;)

    OT but what do you make of Omnirom? I've wanted to give it a go for a while. I like on screen buttons simply because I like being able to customize what buttons I have (obviously custom ROM only). I don't really watch use my phone for anything bar web browsing and losing a few pixels wouldn't bother me, besides, on AOKP etc, you can usually change the height of them.
