    Might shed some light on OnePlus .

    "OnePlus was founded in December 2013 by Pete Lau, previously Vice President at OPPO."

    Price is very good, the companies ethos is similar to HTC's which I can get behind. Will 've picking one up.

    Seems good, but it's a software company crossing over to hardware so il sit back and watch how it develops.

    Its actually not, they are former OPPO vice president and employees that have teamed up with CyanogenMod (Just like OPPO did)

    There may be some bugs though

    If this delivers it has the potential to be an extremely disruptive device.

    It says global LTE. Surely that means all frequencies for global coverage?

    I think some LTE bands are not supported for either Ireland or the UK. Let me see if I can find a link.

    I'm in no hurry to change but this looks like it could be my next phone. I'll see how the early birds get on with it.

    Going by the spec sheet, this has piqued my interest. How easy will it be to buy?
    Were the Oppo phones easy to get here in Ireland?

    Like all High spec chinese phones they will make very small numbers until the cost of the chipsets come down. It could be 6 months before youll be able to get this phone

    The first lot will be available to buy by invite only, which I'm getting but I've no idea how that will work as they won't be for sale in Ireland. Will probably have to get it from the UK or Germany. No idea when either.

    There is as already pointed out the issue with it not having band 20 but that shouldn't affect me on the Three network. I'm told you'll be able to send the phone off to the UK to have it modified for band 20 if you really want it. This should only affect the first run of phones and is expected to be fixed in the next.

    Of course you always take a chance with a first run of phones that there's going to be bugs, hopefully there'll be no other hardware related ones.

    How come Eircom have two separate LTE bands?

    Some, if not all, of the bidders were awarded multiple bands. Vodafone do have licences for Bands 3 & 9 but have been getting 30 up and running first. Apparently they are starting to rollout band 3 next but don't know if they've started. I'm in the hunt for a new handset but don't want to leave Vodafone. Might just go for the Nexus 5 for now, could be waiting all year for this.

    Love the look of the new one plus one phone! Just wondering if anyone knows, is it 4G ready and will it work with Irish networks when released?

    Yup, we use 800, 900 and 1800 MHz here so it will work fine.

    2G Network GSM - 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900
    3G Network HSDPA - 850 / 900 / 1700 / 1900 / 2100
    4G Network LTE - 700 / 1700 / 2600 / 2300 / 2100 / 1800

    have had my eye on this for a while.
    Looking forward to it being released.
    I wonder if we will get it over here or have to order from UK or something.
    If it delivers on what it promises it should be a cracking phone.
