Hi guys. Been lurking around here for a bit.
Made a purchase for the OPO 64GB White from Taobao scalpers for RMB 2565. Seller says going to ship out in 72hours, but not going to hold my breath.

Here is the link.

The seller review is not perfect.
Buy at your own risk
Do not blame me if anything bad happens.

I have not even gotten the phone

You can search around and there are more sellers in taobao selling it.

That's one of the risks you take with these kind of purchases.
Local warranty is one thing. If I can fix it, then I will just order the parts from Taobao and change it out, unless it is too hard to replace.

For the tax, it is much safer to get a forwarding agent to help you than to have seller ship through FedEx/DHL etc. I have gotten routers, PSUs and other electronics from Taobao, no tax issues.

That's fine.
It's only a matter of time. Once the word get out that you can get the China set and put CM11 on it (which it is right now, but just a trickle), the experts are going to do it. This is a very sought after phone after all.

The only thing that worry me is the yellow tint, and possibly the call volume issue.

If you have bought many things from Taobao via forwarder, they are save. My record is 100%. *touch wood* Don't even have to worry about SIRIM sticker. If I did kena, I would have kena when I bought that router. My total purchase from Taobao over the years (3 years) is probably a few thousand RM. That being said, this is the first time i have gotten a phone. The 2nd highest value i ever spend was RM1k.

For warranty problem, you can ship it back to the taobao seller...ain't gonna happen. If local seller has a shop, maybe it could be fixed, if they don't, then I doubt it.
If you have send a phone for AP warranty before, they try to fix it with their own technicians, instead of sending it back to the manufacturer. At least, that was my experience.

Each option has its pros and cons.
You can fix stuff, you buy from Taobao.
You cannot, go get from local seller.

Good luck guys, hope to see more users in this thread.

Taobao scalper just shipped the 64GB white to my Guangzhou address.
Gonna have my hands full next weekend when it reach Malaysia

Currently, China LTE is only on TD-LTE.
FDD-LTE works if you are outside of China for the China OPO. If you put in China simcard, WCDMA/FDD-LTE will be turned off. Since we are overseas, it does not matter.

Original Charger cost RM75.
I rather wait for my battery to be full.

Looks like Chinese OPO and International OPO share the same baseband IC WTR1625L
Perhaps flashing the Chinese OPO with Cyanogenmod would allow something like US LTE with 1700Mhz be supported?

Thats how much i paid to chinese scalpers including shipping to malaysia

Now you can queue and buy the one plus one at the Chinese site.
Just pay and wait 15 days for it to ship. One account can only queue for one phone.

http://oneplus.cn/
RMB 1999 16GB
RMB 2299 64GB

Just need a chinese mobile phone number and Alipay account.
Alipay account is easy. Chinese mobile phone, you might want to ask whether those agents want to help you or not.

Or you can add RM150 and buy from your 'preferred' Taobao scalper.

Problem is chinese phone number.
I think you can grab a simcard from taobao easily, but not sure about turning on the roaming.

If you think that the problem is to ship to Malaysia, then you should get international set or get it from local scalpers.

Just got my OPO 64GB

Phone is as great as everyone say it is.
No sign of yellow tint *touch wood*.

ColorOS has horrible english. Gonna figure out how get CM11 into this.

Better if you have Drillz

All done flashing to CM11.
Seems like CM11 screen color is warmer and less bright than ColorOS.

Probably would be fixed in future updates

Use the method where i posted the pictures. 5 minutes kaotim.

Why you ask this kind of question?
If you free you try mah. I just want a nice phone to use.

Orait.
Probably look for screen color settings change.

Should be fixed once more people have the opo. Nothing to worry about.

Here is OnePlus response regarding the warm screen. CM11 settings causes the screen to look warmer than ColorOS. It is working as designed.

But for the yellow tint, I can't find any response.

There are 2 yellow issues.

One is warm screen. People say yellow hue throughout the screen. This is working as designed. Just some people don't like it.

One is yellow tint near the bottom of the screen. This is due to glue I suspect.

It's the Hue. You can change it.

Scratch front?
The white back gets dirty so easily.
