Kinky, how does the fingerprint sensor perform for you?

The one on my iPad is amazing, it very very rarely fails to recognise my grubby digits, but the one on my S6 is crap and only recognises my fingers less than 50% of the time. I've heard that the one on the OPT is good but then reviews were saying that about the S6 as well.

biggrin just literally clicked on the thread hah.

Thanks! I was meant to buy the oneplus one from the beginning, just never did. I now have a 3yr old note 2 that doesn't charge, crashes and a crack down the screen that happened last week! grumpy

I decided to go with just the OnePlus Two, was very tempted by the Kevlar back but decided against it since it will be in an Orzly Flexislim case which should be with me tomorrow. I've also ordered an Orzly tempered screen protector. I had both the Orzly case and screen protector on my OnePlus One from day one and it still looks like new. Bargain prices from eBay for Orzly products as well with free delivery, would recommend them to anyone.

I've gone with the wood backs, and won't use a case. Many thanks to Kinky for getting my order sorted - was a faff and he was a gent.

I've had absolutely no issues with it whatsoever. Really really quick. I've seen the comments about people having issues with it, non-responsive, slow, etc, etc. But works an absolute treat for me. I really can't fail it at all.

Am I right in thinking these aren't compatible with UK O2 on 4G? I don't see the 800mhz band listed on the site.

I'm desperatly after finding a dual sim phone so that I don't have to carry a work and personal one. All the phone I look at are either a backwards step from my Nexus 5 or don't support this frequency that O2 use. frown

I'm pretty sure it supports band 20 LTE which is what O2 use unless I'm mistaken. You might be looking at the GSM bands and hence the confusion?

Got an invite today for a OPT, kinda convenient as my Nexus 5 got smashed (again) a couple of days ago.

Interesting, I just got (and used) my invite about 10 minutes ago, however it came to the email I had used to buy a Oneplus One and not the email address that's sitting at about 36,000 in the reserve list.

I'm impressed. I was sure it would be the end of September before I saw an invite in my inbox, fair play to Oneplus, they proved me wrong big time.
Hope it ships tomorrow, I'm getting a little impatient. I had forgotten that it took a while for my OPO to actually get sent out, but once it did it was here in a day(with the standard shipping too).

Has anyone else aside from Kinky got one?

I'm still waiting too, it says "processing" on their site but that was the same with the OPO when I ordered it.

Some guy on their forums reckons that he ordered on a Saturday, and received on the following Wednesday which I find a bit hard to believe but then again, they might only do a dispatch once a week, so if they do the courier paperwork on Monday, pick up Tuesday, possible delivery Wednesday but I'm only guessing with that.

The Orzly gel case I ordered last Thursday has come though, so at least it'll be somewhat protected when I get it, I've got a Diztronic case on order too but apparently that won't be here until the end of the month.

Possible. Mine says pending shipment, but I can't remember if processing came before that or not. Either way, the single shipment a week sounds unlikely, I ordered mine on Monday.

Maybe it's all part of their plan. They are very, very good at marketing and generating hype.

Click on the link it sent you and that will show you exactly where you are.

Although I already have a 2, and have received 2 invites so far, I'm still on the waiting list: 63,289 / 4,921,938

Unless someone has an invite in solid form, on a card then no one will have one to share. The shareables haven't started going out yet, to anyone.
