OnePlus 2 - Invites and chatter
Discussion
So, its finally here. Like the sad geek i am i watched the launch in VR. Apart from a lot of waffle to begin it was very impressive. Quite a shock that NFC has been removed and with that i assume touch payment but i can probably live with that.

The product video is here
Price reveal video is here. But its 239(16GB)and 289(64GB)
We had a thread about the OnePlus One for invites so i thought it would be good to start one for the 2. We had lots of invites given out in the old thread and its great to help out a fellow pher.
You can register for the waiting list here (and it helps me out
Once you have registered on the waiting list you can share you unique invite code to jump up the list. From what i have read it seems that clicks work so you can click on a link even if you are already on the list but i have not confirmed that. If someone knows feel free to correct me
To get an invites quicker than the reservation list you need to be a bit of a social media w

on Tuesday 28th July 10:26In simple terms its as high spec / upto date as the Samsung S6 or HTC M9 but a few hundred quid cheaper. Its not better in real terms, just cheaper but while maintaining a high build quality (at least the original Oneplus One was well built).
It runs a relatively pure version of Android with very little bloatware which plagues Samsung devices in particular.
I think a lot of people get frustrated by their marketing techniques, especially the invite system but i think they had to make their mark in the Android world somehow.
In summary, Its just great value for a flagship smartphone

d it appears to be missing a few things that are now common, for example NFC, Wireless charging and quick charging.

on Tuesday 28th July 19:45Werhooo!! I just got an invite...right after i decided that i might actually wait for the Nexus 5 or even try the Huawei P8. 
Its not transferable which is annoying so i did what any man would do and ordered it anyway......with a kevlar cover.
I was pretty miffed at being charged €20 for delivery as well (standard). Total bill was €445.
For info. I ordered my oneplus one in August 2014 on an invite from a fellow pher, i was about 40,000 in the list for oneplus2 invites, both on the same email address. Not sure which one of those got me this invite but maybe it will help you get some idea.
Oh well, i shouldnt complain about getting the invite (i was really curious about the nex5)otherwise i risk being lynched on this thread. Ill update when it arrives.

said: UPDATE - I ordered on the 8th, this morning my status has changed from "pending shipment" to "processing". That seems a bit backward to me.
2nd update. Overnight it changed from processing to sent. It's appeared in Heathrow for shipping out to Germany. I'm not sure if it's come from China or the UK now. 
If this actually happens this year mine will be going on ebay as well
