Q2 2014. I believe they're aiming for April/May which sounds ridiculous to me, but we'll see.Looked good when I saw the original blog posts...I'd just like to know more about a timeline since I really need a new phone and will be going unsubsidized
I'm expecting the reveal would include pictures of the phone and all the rest of the nitty gritty details. The OnePlus One screen to body ratio is supposed to better than the Nexus 5 and it will have to be to be to be smaller physically than the Z1.
I'm coming from a Note 3 which is larger than the Z1 and I don't have issues with Note 3 size so the OnePlus will be smaller than what I am using with a screen only 0.2" smaller.
They specifically addressed it will work on T-Mobile and AT&T, so likely. But why is it DOA if you have to import it?Do we know yet if it's going to be sold in the US? If I have to import one then it's all but dead on arrival for me.
Are the screens on these things not physically 16:9?
I've been looking at some of these dimensions and they don't seem to match up quite correctly (or my math is way off).
Sony Z1: 2.91" wide. 5" screen. 5" x 9 / 16 = 2.81" wide screen. Those giant bezels come out to just 0.05" per side?
Galaxy Note 3: 3.12" wide. 5.7" screen. 5.7" x 9 / 16 = 3.2" wide screen. They fit a 3.2" wide screen in a 3.12" wide body?
Something is off. Non-square pixels?

Yeah it'd be interesting to see how things work. Are we allowed to run nightlies? Are the nightlies pretty much the same features that other nightlies have? Is this a fork of CM to provide some exclusive OnePlus features only?http://forums.oneplus.net/threads/its-official-were-partnering-with-cyanogenmod.76/
They are partners with CM providing the software and I would assume CM would provide the updates.
Verizon LTE doesn't help at all if it doesn't work on their CDMA, and Verizon is never going to certify some random device for their CDMA without a lot of carrier BS.I would get one, if it ONLY SUPPORTED VERIZON LTE BANDS.
WHY.
They have said you're allowed to run whatever ROM you want AND you get to keep your warranty (but not if you fry the hardware itself say, like by overclocking too much). I think it was in the Reddit AMA. So you can run pure stock if you like.
Incidentally, assuming the screen is a 5.5" 1920x1080 screen (and not something like 2000x1080 - something I'm wondering might be possible since they're being so coy about the on screen buttons) then the MAXIMUM side bezel size is about 2.75mm which is basically thinner than anything else out there. I REALLY want to see what this phone looks like now.
A 5.5" screen is 2.70" wide.
Diag: 5.5"
X: 2.70"
Y: 2.79"
This picture also better shows what a OnePlus would look like in a Z1 form factor.

Better than bottom right only and not bottom left
And ugh, power button in the middle (vertically)? why?
