... but there is something about the Find 7 that I like... Not sure what that is though haha
The novelty of glancing at the battery percentage when on charge, then looking a few seconds again and seeing that it has gone up....then repeating the process a few times isn't bad

Hahaha, though I do wonder how much "good" this does the battery? I know car batteries didnt like to be fast charged too often and trickle charging it was a better option.
Fair point. It does reduce drastically the charge rate once mostly charged though. Plus 2800mah replacement batteries are 14 EUR from Oppostyle.RichardD said:

Has anyone with the OPO had the yellow screen issue at all?
The find 7 seems overpriced in comparison.
Indeed it is a bit more expensive, but the OPO seems to be having several issues that I have read about, but havent seen much about the 7 (yet)The find 7 seems overpriced in comparison.
I decided to screw waiting, and bought a Find 7. Had it a few days, and I really like it. Have had to install a very poor piece of software on it for work purposes, which is hurting the battery life, but overall it isn't bad.
Lovely screen, very snappy to use, and has some nice features (the tap to wake is quite good). It is almost getting to the size that you can't use it one handed easily, but I can get by, any bigger and it wouldn't be possible. The pulsing blue light for notifications is rather nice as well..simple things.
Edit - One annoyance though, you have to take the battery out to swap out the micro sd card (also applies to the SIM card). This wouldn't be so bad if it wasn't a faff to get the back off (you need to push in a small button near the bottom to get it to unlock), so if you intend on swapping round sd cards a lot, this is definitely not the device for you.

Is it a 7 from China or a 7a UK version out of interest? Where abouts did you get it from? ThanksLovely screen, very snappy to use, and has some nice features (the tap to wake is quite good).

Well, I've had my OPO for a few days now and it's wonderful 
It was built 2 weeks ago, has no yellow banding, perfect call volume, etc, etc.
The only personal irritant is that the power button is lower down than most other brands; but that's only because I'm used to one that's higher up. Will take a little while to get used to it's location

Mine is the International version of the Find 7, and I got it from the Oppo Style store - http://europe.oppostyle.com/I agree with the power button. Took me a little while to even find it!!!! Luckily I really like the double tap to turn it on and also double tapping the notification bar to turn it off
It's a recent built phone too but don't know exactly when. It has no yellow screen issues or anything other problems

I haven't been sent any invites to share yet. The most guaranteed way was to have signed up to their forums awhile ago - they were sending them out in order of member number.
Their forums are full of threads to run share systems...but as hardly any shareable invites have been sent out they aren't working very well.
If I get any I'll send them to PH first. Their production has been ramping up massively so they should be more available over the next few weeks.
