As far as I understand on Invite system.

1. Once received Invite, within 24 hours you must purchase OnePlus One or else it will be revoke back to inviter.
2. Once placed order, it will be ship within few days.
3. You may not receive invites for give away after you purchased.
4. You may not sell invites, as it expired too quickly and it might be bond to your account etc.

It does clear out my doubt about their Invite system. As first I thought Invite can be blast to as many people as possible, and maybe half or less of invites will eventually turned into purchases. And I thought that Invite was for them to accumulate how many devices they should produce and order this amount of devices to be manufacture.

As it turns out, if my understanding wasnt wrong; OnePlus invite system works like premium products. They had this amount of devices on hand, and they will give away this amount of invites to someone they picked. If all invites give away turned into purchase and no stock replenish at the moment, then no more invites will be available. It's good and bad, good as in there's no overstock and thus no unnecessary warehouse cost etc; bad as in future stock replenish depends on current purchase rate.

agreed on most points.

but selling is still possible since original invite holder has got about 2 weeks to give out invites. he can still sell it... arrange a time with buyer and then sell the invite.

I still prefer Groupon or Kickstarter method instead.

guess its time to break our bubbles, we wouldnt get this device any time soon!

they sounded very confident everyone in the launch countries can get their device June. meaning everyone can get invite. so, I don't see an issue for anyone to hop into this. warranty will of course be an issue, but that's what happens for unofficial sets anyway.

waiting for it to come to Malaysia, I think it'll be at least a few months... by then, better wait for 2015 - their next product.

Ya, I love kickstarter method. Early backers get it cheaper, or buy in large batch gets better offer. It's much easier to track how many devices need to manufacture since backers already paid for it.

anyway, seems quite a few already received their OnePlus One. these are from the smash contest. but they are shipped without charger, etc... seems the chargers, etc are not yet out of the factory.

Ya, I read one owner didnt have pin to remove SIM tray as well, LOLz sweat.gif And since it's not possible to eject SIM tray with usual SIM pin, need to use long needle.

they explained to the winners... they didn't want to let the owners wait any longer, so they just sent the phones first. they mentioned that chargers -- can use any. and for the sim ejector, can easily use anyone... it's not anything proprietary. at least they can get the phone now... coz the other items, most likely only available month end.

good for you and your mum...

seriously, if one cannot wait for official launch or consider the AP method (be it self import or via dealers), then ya, get something already locally available.

looks like the first batch shipped to the SMASH winners... lots of "issues".

read that some issues includes:
* missing phone (someone stole it during shipping?!)
* wrong recovery (OPPO recovery)
* buggy software (WiFi not during properly, etc)

not very good sign...

Hope it resolve in next batch.

New company + first batch, more or less will have small problem.
