If I'm correct, one person could send out 2 invites only. That's why I mentioned we need to work together, or else invites could end up at friends/people not really bother and wasted.

How sure are you that the dudes here will not sell it off (trader/etc)?  brows.gif

Went through the list, the country is strictly listed to those release countries and only flagships are listed. IMO it is not worth joining ... if you are from this part of the world.
*
Definitely there will be someone sell it here, but at first will be high price. It will deny reasons we want OnePlus One.
PS I did join the Smash the past contest, twice, counties as Canada so that my buddy there could send me back if I ever win.

From latest announcement on OnePlus forum.

QUOTE
The lucky ones of you who live in the following countries will have a chance to experience the OnePlus One before any other country: Austria, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Italy, Netherlands, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Taiwan, United Kingdom and the United States. Our e-shop will be opened to other countries in the months to come.


Months to come cry.gif It could be long . . . . I guess our best chances is friend from other countries or if resellers able to get invites.

I wonder who is stupid enough to do it.

I had submitted entries with S3 phone, 2nd hand price around RM600 now, if able to get faulty unit even cheaper. Small price to pay for new exclusive phone.

OnePlus One managed to get 2nd spot in Top 5 Android phone of Spring 2014

QUOTE
Regardless of the fact that we haven’t been able to get a full hands-on and review yet, the OnePlus One managed to sell us on its gorgeous design, high-powered specs, and commitment to great software through CyanogenMod. While OnePlus has yet to be tested in the mass market, it’s made some bold claims and we’re betting that it’ll stay true to them. That’s why the OnePlus One, even untested, manages to snag the number two spot on our list.

I was intended to put Lumia 920 as well since it's old and cheap, but given it's Nokia and Lumia, might break few hammer before I'm able to smash it, so plastic S3 it is.

suspect by the time it officially release in malaysia, they will already be launching one plus two.

That's exaggerating, OnePlus One is the only phone in 2014, while it's not in first launch countries, Pete does mentioned they had strong interest in SEA and did mentioned Malaysia. So worst come to worst, it's 2-3 months.

oh ya... seeing how the SMASH thingy will only get you a 16GB, i'm seriously not keen at all.

Yup that's a big let down, still I had 4 entries in the contest. Still a good thing to get first batch and first in Malaysia, if got chosen.

how did you get entries? I summited the smashing contest but no email reply from them? hmm.gif just some email telling me to on hold by checking my country eligible or not and phone that entitle to smash.
*
Summit but had to wait 8th May to reveal who wins the contest.

QUOTE(mydragoon @ Apr 28 2014, 09:52 AM)
i got an email asking me to submit my entry (URL given).

then just enter the details -- what device you want to smash, your details and your country (this is the sucky part coz MY is not listed -- so need to pick a friend's country).
*
First entry I put Nexus 5 my current phone, as I had refreshed like crazy once countdown finish, then only realize entries can be summit latest by 2nd May. So I slow down and think that I should submit cheaper phone, so after doing some research in LYN forum, S3 was cheapest I guess. Then submit 3 more entries with S3 whistling.gif

just saw this interesting thread about phone being detained by Customs.

according to Noobi3, Customs + SIRIM, etc... it should all be about rm100. this is DIY cost.

see: https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/3207457

I'm one of those lucky person to kena SIRIM for my Nexus 5 vmad.gif
Not related to custom, it's just SIRIM. One SIRIM could applied to 3 devices max, RM100 regardless 1 or 2 or 3 devices.

What I mean is Nexus program is ending soon sad.gif OnePlus One just came out about the right time, I'll definitely jump to that ship Google's Nexus phones will reportedly be replaced by premium Android Silver handsets

This 'Nexus ending' rumor has been there for few months but still yet to be confirmed. As a hardcore Nexus fans, I will hold my hope until Google confirm it.

i guess not. they are planning to use latest mediatek lte soc to sell much cheaper to consumers

Again, that is rumor news. It's just rumor of sub-S100 Nexus devices, nothing confirmed.

it looks like 64GB is only coming early June. *sigh*

but i guess in a way, its good... more options for consumers. personally, there is one major minus point for me with OnePlus One. lack of microSD slot. biggrin.gif
*
Haiz, hopefully when 64GB reach Malaysia, Nexus 6 ( maybe the last Nexus ) havent out, else am going to Nexus, always their supporter.

quoting Carl

so looks like first round of invites is only for 16GB. if so, and if i get it, i'm more than happy to give it away.
*
My thought, if received invite and if my friend over Canada or Taiwan able to bring in to me, will straight away buy it, although will be 16GB variant. If really it's not my cup of tea ( too huge ), sell it. If I like it, might be sell it ( as opened box item ) and wait for 64GB variant.

yea i know about the OTG (great feature!!) but i am slightly disappointed now with the 16GB
same goes for the 64gb because 64gb is not enough for me. My current phone has in-built 64gb+64gb SD card and still I left only 1gb currently. flagship killer without expandable slot WTH ~

I should have read the specs 5 times or more lol.
*
If 64GB also not enough for you shakehead.gif , no choice. Even iPhone only had 64GB largest, so you're special case will need wireless mobile drive or mobile-NAS whistling.gif
For me 64GB enough for me since my main file server had few TB tongue.gif , and the price of 64GB is unbeatable.

Watching 4K movie on phone is just pure stupid, screen cant display 4K resolution so it'll downscale to 1080P, unless get your hands on Oppo Find 7.
