Anyone excited for OnePlus?

Yea why would you throw the box away right away?

The box the phone came in? Pffft - gone

People throw their phone boxes away?

 

[isekii]

the packaging is so nice on this phone. It's worth keeping

Well I kept mine because I've only had it one day. And if I won't be able to rma it, say it doesn't cure, I have to sadly sell it to someone who can live with the yellow so I would rather have the box.

Edit: I agree the packaging of this phone is unique. So is the power cord and little SIM key.

Yeah I always keep my box because I know that when I buy a phone, within two years it is going to be sold off, one year or less to be more accurate.

I always keep the boxes my equipment comes in. If I sell it or give it to someone, it's nice to give them the entire deal.

I can't tell you how many boxes I've saved over the years just to throw out later - I'm just saving a step by throwing it out after a week or two of use.

I've never thrown away an empty box (from electronic equipment purchases or trades).

forget the cheap stuff, wait for this:

Did that infomercial have a commercial inside it?

You know what is cool about cheap stuff? It is cheap, and so you can use it and then toss it out then you get something better.

Which screen protector did you opt for? I went with the Orzly ballistic glass and a cheapie Orzly case. It's coming from England so I have to wait another 2 weeks to get it.

Got the clear case with my order and also ordered the Orzly glass protector - same as you the protector has an ETA of weeks away.

So I also ordered this:

It's cheap and I already got a shipping notification with estimated delivery mid-next week. I'm super anal about my screens so running even a week without a screen protector is a no go for me.

how long does it usually take for invite emails to go out? someone sent me an invite a few hours ago but I haven't received the email yet.

Check your spam folder.

Check your spam folder.

nothing there

 

[sze5003]

I'm not sure maybe they typed your email wrong because I got mine in seconds.

So after letting the phone sit in the sun more today I still have yellow.

There's times it seems like it goes away until I use it more and it comes back. Very odd. Here is an example of me trying to read an article.

Notice the tint on bottom.

Now as I scroll up look at the difference. Same paragraph.

Another one, bigger paragraph on bottom now.

What it should look like:

Looks like sunbathing so far has done nothing.

it's really hard to see any yellow there. seems like the entire screen is pretty uniform.

You don't see any yellow on the bottom edges? Like bleeding out yellow? I guess my m7 camera isn't so good. In person its very distracting. I wasn't using flash either.


Here is one from my HTC m7. Taken with one plus camera.

 

[isekii]

i'm looking at it in 2 different monitors and looks pretty uniform.

 

[EvilYoda]

Hmmm, I don't know if someone sent me an invite on here and just wanted to do it anonymously or I actually got it through OnePlus.

Either way...score!

Yea then I can't capture it fully in pictures. I guess it just looks dirtier on the bottom than the top is the best way I can put it.

 

[openwheel]

I see it but it looks different than described by others. If you increase brightness does it go away?

It's a little less with 100% brightness but still there.

64GB ordered! Time to see what it's like to use a giant phone.

Just put on my orzly screen protector. I have a few bubbles that they say should go away after a day or so. I'm very impressed with it! I don't think I can use anything else from now on.

I also got the diztronic case, which I don't know if I like. It looks good, but the phone is very slick now.

I'm still waiting on my accessories. I guess i'll have to order a phone when I get an invite. I think by the time i get the phone my bumpers and screen protectors will be here.
