    mine arrived from DWI today..
    got it from their ebay store, so I get the 2% ($9.50) back from cash rewards.

    I ordered it late monday afternoon, and it arrived today.

    something to note is that this comes with colourOS (chinese OS) on it, and you need to flash cyanogenmod onto it… this is very very basic.

    • CyberMurning on 07/08/2014 - 17:18

      why not using colourOS but change language to english? or cant?

      • Ronnnie on 07/08/2014 - 17:34

        because color os has no playstore

        You can set the language to English in ColorOS. That's the very first thing it asks.

      Strange, I thought they were preinstalled with CyanogenMod?

      • Scaregdearimasu on 07/08/2014 - 20:10

        Should come with a custom Cyanogen mod installed on it. Or at least the one Jason on twit received had that on it. Perhaps theres an os difference for the chinese model? I don't see why exactly unless it's a fake version of the phone.

        • Ronnnie on 07/08/2014 - 20:21

          Yeah the Chinese version comes with color os, some sellers are flashing cm before they send them. You need invite to buy international version with cm as standard.

        • Scaregdearimasu on 07/08/2014 - 20:35

          @Ronnnie:
          interesting is it a marketing or legal reason they're selling the phone with an inferior os in china I wonder.

          @Scaregdearimasu:

          I believe google is blocked in china, so the playstore aren't allowed on their phones.

        • sridhar on 09/08/2014 - 23:39

          @Ronnnie:

          You do not need to buy the international version if you are going to use the phone in only Australia.

          From http://whirlpool.net.au/wiki/mobile_phone_oneplus:

          "As far as Australian users are concerned, there are NO important hardware differences between the Chinese version and the International version. If you would like more details please read ahead."

    • ployer on 07/08/2014 - 20:38

      Hey mate, is there already a custom recovery on the Chinese version such as Clockworkmod Recovery? Also is this the correct link for the Cyanogenmod 11S?

      https://cyngn.com/products/oneplusone/
      so flash the "cm-11.0-XNPH25R-bacon-signed-fastboot.zip" file?

      There's a DIY fix for the yellow tinge. Use the missus UV nail polish dryer to dry the adhesive that bonds the glass and the digitiser. Not justifying the defect but it's a quick fix if you CBF dealing with the return procedure, etc.

      Be warned.. comes with the Chinese OS … although it can be easily flashed. I believe the Chinese version also supports different frequencies?

      There are quite a few who bought from DWI and T-Dimension which have arrived all good

      Oneplus of course wouldn't want people buying from places other from then… but until they can get the invite system sorted (and actually post directly to Australia), it leaves us with little choice

      • andyken on 08/08/2014 - 10:17

        it is invite only phone, how dwi and other retailer can get massive stock without invite?

        • davohatcher on 08/08/2014 - 10:53

          Because this phone is for the Chinese market, not international (which needs invite). Comes with Color OS, International OnePlus One comes with CM11. Got mine yesterday amazing phone for the price.

    Got the original direct from OnePlus One via a US based mail forwarder, total cost was approx AU$440. It is really not that hard to get an invite to buy the international version, I wouldn't recommend dealing with an unauthorised third party reseller for the Chinese version (and paying a premium for it too).

    • msmhw on 07/08/2014 - 17:54

      have invites? share with us or tell us how to get invite in easy way!

      • Ronnnie on 07/08/2014 - 18:19

        WP has an invite list you can add your name to, but really there's not much advantage getting the international version over the chinese version. You are more than likely better off just paying a few dollars extra from t-dimension and more than likely get the phone faster.

        • msmhw on 07/08/2014 - 18:48

          yeah I saw the list, no way I am getting invite from the long list hahah. I am going to place an order soon but thinking about to take the risk and order it for $339

          +4

          The only advantage of the International model is that it can be used on American LTE bands. Band 4 and 17 if i remember correctly.

          The phone works on 1800/2300/2600Mhz LTE bands in Australia along with all 3G bands.

          It doesn't work on Band 28 700Mhz LTE which is what Telstra and Optus are deploying from end of this year, so everyones going to have to get new phones to run on that network.

          @crazycs:
          This is important to note. The absence of band 28 (and other low frequency LTE bands) means that this device will never get good regional/rural LTE coverage.

          +1

          @crazycs: So if I was to get this phone from the t dimension website, and I am currently on Virgin (which uses optus) I would not be able to get 4g coverage next year but only 3g?

        • 11112007 on 07/08/2014 - 20:51
          +1

          @jonkhorne: Yes you will be fine as the phone supports Optus 3G 900/2100Mhz 3G and 4G FD-LTE 1800/2600Mhz and TD 2300Mhz.

        • jonkhorne on 07/08/2014 - 22:10

          @crazycs:

          Great! Thank you, I am just a bit unsure about all the bands and that and while I don't have 4g coverage at my house, I do go into the city a lot (Perth) so I would be able to get some coverage there, so might as well utilize it! Currently on a Galaxy S so a upgrade is needed just the pricing on phones now is way to high and this looks pretty damn good!

        • Yapapi on 07/08/2014 - 22:41

          Also an Aussie Invite Club on the OnePlus Forums, plenty of Australians getting invites. https://forums.oneplus.net/threads/aussie-thread-invite-club…

          @jonkhorne:
          You may - already - have 4G coverage at your house, but are just unaware of it.

          The national rollout by both Optus and Telstra of 700MHz services is, I believe, set to happen quickly and will become the lynchpin for people who want 4G in outer suburbs/regional/rural all around Oz.

          Some significant 700MHz service already up and running in several regional areas, and Darwin, AND Perth.
          Something that you might be interested know…

          If you want access (in a month or so when it actually gets released), on the cheap, the biggest selling point (at the price) of the newly announced Kogan Agora phone, is its 700MHz compatibility.

        • SaberX on 08/08/2014 - 01:25

          @crazycs:

          So the chinese version for sale on this deal does not support the american bands, but does that refer to your comment that this will work on aus LTE bands of 1800/2300/2600mhz?

          I thought 4G on telstra and optus were 850, 900mhz bands, or are those technically 3G? abit confused with the bands…

          Is the OS the same for chinese variant versus the international? Just language is in chinese?

          +1

          @SaberX:

          Correct - the chinese model works 100% in Australia as of August 2014. However it will not work on Telstra/Optus 700Mhz LTE (Band 28) which begins deployment later this year.

          The phone will work on all Australian 3G bands, so you will have no problems.

          I've answered your question about the differences in a reply to your latter post below.

        • sridhar on 09/08/2014 - 23:48

          @SaberX:

          Chinese version's OS is ColorOS. Language can be set to English in this.

          International version's OS is CM11s.

          It's a large Chinese company pretending to be a startup. There was a big controversy with Oneplus One being discovered to be a wholly owned subsidiary of Oppo, though the OnePlus CEO went on to say that being a subsidiary of Oppo does not necessarily mean a relation with the Oppo Mobiles division, though if you compare the Oppo Find 7 with the OnePlus One, you'd find that the designs are very similar. It also doesn't help that the OS skin used in China for the OnePlus One is the same one found in Oppo's phones (ColorOS).

Due to nature of the CM rom this phone runs so fast and efficient that i almost feel like I'm using an open source iPhone 5s. (Well at least with the help of theme engine :p). Oh and don't forget the privacy guard as well.

          Been using mine for ~3 weeks now and I'm very impressed with the battery life. I play games, stay constantly connected to wifi at uni all day, listen to music and after a full day I'll be at around 60% (at the lowest). If you go out of your way to conserve battery, e.g turn wifi off, set power mode to save battery, then I might only run it down to 75%. Can easily get 2 days and I'll see how I go for 3.

      • hellrazorone on 07/08/2014 - 22:30

        I'm looking at the Xiaomi Mi4 or the ZTE Nubia Z7 Mini. Hopefully there will be some reasonable prices on both of these phones soon. Worth a look for those that want a 5" phone instead of the One Plus One which is 5.5". Be interesting to see how far off the Snapdragon 810 phones are from making it to market (Adreno 430 graphics) and a few other goodies.

  • striker5950 on 07/08/2014 - 20:50

    @hweita well looks are subjective but the thing i like about the mi4 is the sleeker design, yes it does look like the iphone 5/5s but still differentiates it self,
    also the capacitive touch buttons instead of on-screen ones. and the 5" screen, 5.5" might be a bit too big for some, btw I have a gs4 from day one, so unless something really good comes along ill hang on to the s4 for a while

    • TheContact on 07/08/2014 - 21:09

    I gave up on this phone long ago as I believe it is impossible to get such 'invite'. Wouldn't have thought that it can be purchased off ebay though, seeing this on OzB did surprise me.

      I got one, as a matter of fact, I've had 2 invites, the second I shared with another Aussie.
