Ordered mine on Sunday morning with express shipping, hit parcelmotel in the North yesterday and in my locker tonight. It's going to arrive before the case I ordered from Amazon late the same day.

Yep mine came tonight in parcel motel along with all of the accessories I ordered. It also came with a UK plug which is grand given that some people in the UK didn't get the UK plug.

Did you go with standard or express delivery?

Trevaldo

Express. According to DHL it arrived in Newtownabbey 12:32 today. So it's on it's way to dublin now via parcel motel.

Trevaldo

Hi,
There are three separate threads on the oneplus one and I don't have time to read them all. Can someone answer these questions for me please:

1. How to avoid import tax-is the phone shipping from China, so parcel motel is what I need to use? I've never used it before but I'll figure it out as long as this is the right way to go about it.

2. Will the phone work on Vodafone pay as you go?

Thanks in advance.

If you are ordering from Oneplus.net then you dont need to pay customs and import tax. Parcel motel basically is a northern ireland address that would be like a po box number and they will deliver it down to your nearest parcel motel kiosk * usually near shopping centres or petrol stations, so check if there is one close to you.
Thats if you order from Oneplus.net uk branch. The eu oneplus allows you to ship to Germany but I have never used that

If however you order from any of the other places like amazon or aliexpress etc then I am afraid I cant help, sometimes they get stung for customs, sometimes they dont


2. Will the phone work on Vodafone pay as you go?
It will work afaik but I am unsure if it will work on vodafones 4g service. It wasnt supposed to but I think I read that it now might

I have had it for 2 weeks now and I like what I have seen from it so far. No major issues from it so far.

daytob

Love it, still to this day, have it a few months and cant fault it, sure there has been the odd issue but I can ignore that, when i soon realise I have a phone that has the potential to last me a few years. It wont mind, but it is a phone that you could buy and still feel pretty chuffed by it 2 years down the line when you think how much you have saved.
Camera is amazing * for what I have taken and need
Sound - stunning
calls - nowt dropped so no issues there
screen is stunning
speed - this phone can handle everything I throw at it with ease
gps - even in the arsehole of tullamore or carlow, other phones have struggled, this one does not

overall : a class phone. buy it go break out of the contract and never look back

Similar to the other replies I can't fault it at all. Switched over from iOS and the improvement with android is just staggering. The little things like a working notification center and ability to control 3G/LTE at the touch of a button are such a welcome change.

On the phone itself it is pretty hard to describe how good it is without sounding like a fanboy. It really is brilliant. Any problems I have had are either fixed with a reboot or with one of the regular updates. Stupidly fast, audio clarity is amazing, UI easy to navigate, charges very fast when plugged into the mains, battery is second to none, screen size makes watching anything a pleasure.

I have a long journey in the mornings and I have started to put episodes of TV shows onto my phone to watch. The literally takes two clicks when it is connected to the laptop.

The only minor complaints I have is when I hold the phone in one hand I cant reach the button on the bottom left of the screen with my thumb. But I wanted a big clear screen so it's a trade off I had to make. I don't like the Gallery on the phone at all. Hows it laid out is annoying and unclear so I just use Photos. I have actively looked for faults in it and so far they are the only two I could find. For the price there is absolutely nothing that even comes close to this.

Does the phone handle 4G on vodafone? I've heard that it doesn't, can anyone give me first hand experience on this?

Nonoperational

It doesn't have the 800Mz band which Vodafone uses for most of it's 4G.

CathalK182

Will it work on o2 Ireland?

daytob

yeah as far as i know it does
it certainly works on tesco mobile and that piggybacks on o2s network afaik

Nonoperational

Works on all Networks for 3G. O2 don't have 4G yet.
