Just reporting back that I received my phone yesterday. Wanted to post a little review:
Phone arrived from China in 5 days (USA) via DHL. Phone was packaged fantastic and the boxing quality was like something you would expect from Apple. After opening the package and charging it full (Only 1/2 hour) I finally sat down to play with it. I must say it is a fabulous phone. It feels quality and the screen looks great to me. I have seen reviews that say the screen is sub-par but I think those reviewers are crazy or have eyesight way better than mine. I am really pleased with the screen. Next I loaded up some apps. The 820 qualcom processor is extremely snappy and everything but large games load instantly. The phone has 6gb of ram so when you switch between apps it is also instant. I have seen some postings at XDA forums showing how to utilize the memory better with a simple script edit and I plan on doing that shortly. I have also rooted the phone and installed a new recovery. The oneplus operating system (Oxygen OS) installed is basically vanilla android with added features. No bloatware or unnecessary garbage. I am pleased with Oxygen and at this time going to leave the ROM as is and not install any third party ROM. Mainly because the fast charging binaries are not open source yet and ROM developers can't drop it in their code. Soon as OnePlus releases it I am sure the third party roms will flourish. So far I have not tried the camera or video recorder so I cannot comment on them. Most other reviews have spoke highly of the cameras so I am sure I will be happy as well. Now the only thing I am a little upset with is the availability of cases and accessories. Since this is a new phone, the accessory manufactures have not had time to crank out cases and other goodies. Ebay and Amazon have slim pickings of cases and some of the items are not even shipping yet. I bought a cheap case to get me going but it will take 2-3 weeks to arrive from china. I am sure in a few months when there is a better selection of items to choose from I will upgrade my case. Anyhow, Phone is fantastic and I am extremely pleased with quality and build.
