Received mine today. Ordered on Tuesday morning, standard delivery.

Impressed so far, not too concerned about the size, but it's going to take a while to get used to Android.
My exact experience, 4 years with iOS is gonna mean some things have become engrained! Still very impressed tho, enjoying the freedom!
All seems chipper so far.

The world's not ended yet!

Many thanks! 64GB Sandstone Black ordered. I still like my Nexus 5 so I hope it surpasses it.

Invite received Tuesday night, ordered Wednesday morning, despatch notification email received Thursday and phone delivered Friday. (Normal delivery).

Up and running immediately, just swapped the micro sim over from my S4 and it was ready to go.

24 hours later and I'm well chuffed with it. Great piece of kit at an amazing price. I had been planning to get the Samsung Note 4 which was released yesterday so my invite arrived in the nick of time and has saved me over 300 pounds.

I'm just over a week in and love it, not really looking back at IOS with any regret so far!

It seems very quick with no lag that I've detected, calls seem pretty good, and love the sandstone finish (tho I'm awaiting a case). Battery seems great too. Also like the little notification light, such a simple thing but very handy!

Negatives; Don't get me wrong, I love the size of the thing but it really is a bit big to try to use one-handed, and it feels a little top heavy when holding it nearer the bottom. Also I've had some issues trying to zoom on maps but think this is an android thing (any tips?).

Generally very happy!

I ordered last Saturday, the order was processed on Tuesday and delivered on Wednesday (standard delivery), but I couldn't collect it from the sorting office until yesterday.

It's not an Android thing. What problem are you having?

I have occasionally had an issue zooming on pictures and web pages due to a known issue with multi-touch on the screen. A reboot of the phone has always sorted it out. It's only happened 3-4 times in the two months I've had the phone.

So, the screen is wreaked on my Nexus 5, the 6 doesn't look that good.

Worth going for a One for a new phone?

If it is, and I think it will be, anyone have an invite?

Ordered mine on Wednesday, and it arrived today (Express Shipping).. I guess it took longer due to the fact I ordered a case, no matter.

It very much feels like a premium phone, the packaging is a lot better than I was expecting it to be for a Chinese startup (no offence intended). Although I'm not a YouTube-unboxing-videos nerd, I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of it all. Thick, bright cardboard that is all bespoke, and some really nice touches too. Won't spoil it for anyone buying one.

It dwarfs my Nexus 4, and is a bit unwieldy to operate with one hand, though I guess I'll get used to it. So glad I didn't order a Nexus 6 instead now.

EDIT: I don't have any invites I'm afraid, they are given a random time after you purchase.

Was looking to replace my Nexus 4 with a 6, but looks like the prices are going to take a significant jump... Given how well received the OnePlus One has been, I might swap to one of these instead if anyone ends up with an invitation going spare please!

This looks like a viable replacement for my Nexus 4.

Could anyone send me an invite?

Got one last week but haven't received any invites to give out yet.

Put a tempered glass screen protector on it and nothing else.

A reminder to everyone that you can pre-order these today from 3pm to 4pm GMT.

I'm going to take the plunge!

Yeah, not the smartest. Seems they have extended the pre-order period by two hours.
