OnePlus One Available Direct to Ireland (Back to €299 + €18 shipping)

The yellow screen thing was a problem with the first couple of production runs a while back, a problem with the glue they were using between the screen and the glass, its just not an issue anymore so dont let that worry you. Even when it was an issue leaving the phone in sunlight or just letting it fade away through use or the heat of your pocket usually fixed it.

I took the plunge. Debating it for a while but that price sealed the deal.

I didn't hang around in case its an introductory price.

E299 is the price all over Europe, I got one from Germany last month and it worked out about E50 cheaper than the UK.

Current exchange rates and better shipping options have made ordering via UK redundant. It was always slightly cheaper to order via Germany but delivery was taking a week longer. I ordered two via UK in November and December when exchange rates were better for us and paid EUR350 roughly for each one. At the time I could have saved a tenner or slightly more going via Germany but preferred faster UK delivery.

The LG G3 32GB seems to be €541 before delivery on Amazon - Assume prices quoted are for 16GB? Which after OS leaves v little storage...

- Can anyone confirm that a 16GB LG G3 with a 64GB micro SD card is essentially equal to a 70GB phone? ie no issues with installing apps to Micro SD or other annoying impediments to a happy life?

Get that one from Germany http://www.amazon.de/gp/offer-listing/B00KKM2UZG

It works out for me at 351.55 Euro including shipping to Ireland.

That's used. New is €385, before shipping.

Anyone know if VAT can be claimed back for a business purchase?

Emailed them a while ago with the same question, VAT is billed in the UK so it's not possible to claim it back unless they sell it without VAT to a vat registered business - but they seemed unwilling to do this.

Thanks to the OP for posting

O+O does seem to have a lot of complaints over screen issues - A yellowish tinge, and unresponsive touch screen/phantom touches etc in certain cases.

Am tempted to buy but very concerned re this?

Yeah, with the G3, you can install apps to the SD card easily. Most apps/ games have the option to use that function.

A little warning for those of you who, like me, dwell in areas of questionable coverage. Where I live, I don't get 3g very often, so internet isn't happening on phones - and that's fine, I'm used to that, but for the first time in years I'm finding with the oneplus one that it's dropping off the network altogether and I can't make or take phone calls. I had no issue with htc one, nexus 4, iphone 4... but both my husband and I have the oneplus one and we both have the same problem Other than that, I love this phone. And really, who uses a phone for phone purposes :pac:

Order process change from 'Pending' to 'Processing'. Anyone have an idea how long delivery would take?

bikerjohn

I ordered one tuesday from the irish site ,it in processing at the moment,does anyone know who delivers and how long delivery takes ? thanks.

boardzz

DHL hold the stock and deliver from their hub in Heathrow Airport

Edit: Maybe this is only for Express Delivery option

moleyv

The normal delivery is by Royal Mail.

They say despatch normally within 4 days.

I would anticipate delivery 2-4 days after that going by normal royal mail / an post experiences.

Really thinking about this now. Is it worth buying at this stage are they brining about a new version soon?

Be sure to look at the specs for the flip cover, it's about the same weight as the phone itself. It fits on nicely and feels quite safe, but it really adds bulk.

I returned my OnePlus One under the 2-week no-reason refund policy, I found it dropping calls and connectivity a bit too often for my liking.

They would only refund the phone however, not the accessories, so I still have the flip case (which I got direct from OnePlus) and an unused screen protector (via eBay). Overall good service from OnePlus, fair play to them.

Lovely phone to use but connectivity was flaky for me - might be the individual handset, might be the cloud cover where I was at the time(s), might be solar flares or bad karma. I don't know, but I'm back to using my Galaxy S4 - which feels small - with a clean new install...

Cheers,
Eddie

Now that you have mentioned about the weight of the flipcover, I think I need to see and hold the phone to get the real feel. Before ordering on paddys day.
i will see if anyone in my office has one.

Thanks

Please don't turn this thread from a discussion of the phone into another 100 page snoozefest of delivery times, customs, DHL, status changing to out for delivery etc, nobody except yourself cares when your phone is going to be delivered.

I read somewhere that the One plus One has a problem with 4G for Vodafone in the UK, something about less bands on its chip.

Anyone know if that affects it in Ireland?

I think you should buy now, the 2 won't be out till Q3 and will be invite only for a while and then preorder, so might not be readily available till 2016.

It's a lovely phone (without the flip cover) - and the sandstone back on the 64Gb model gives good grip, but I'm not sure I'd want to use it with no protection...
