Runs fast, menus flick through quickly.
Phone call quality is good, better than my htc.

So far so good! Was a toss up between this and the htc dude. At present believe I made the right choice, time will tell I'm sure.
Sounds good, will go and have a play with one then decide!

Love the idea of ps4 remote play, but i don't know how long it will actually take to work flawlessly, and the next xperia phone might be out by then!

I wouldn't get a phone just for remote play. Someone has ported it to other phones

Nexus 4, so I'll be expecting a good step up. How you finding it?

Your making the same step as me then.

Just a few thoughts

I love the aesthetics, looks and feels excellent. The screen is massive, however I'm not blown away by it, could this be the PPI? Maybe I'm just a bit blind to these things.

Cyanogen is pretty decent gives a few more options over standard android which I like.

Keyboard seems a little slow IMO but again that could be my fault.

The back buttons are on the opposite bloody side a little confusing.

Overall I like it and will keep it, a good amount of bang for ya buck.

My 1+1 arrived today, spent the last hour or so setting everything up. I like it!

The CM build is surprisingly tame. I expected all sorts of added cruft, but it's nicely polished
The camera is fantastic (but I'm coming from a Nexus 4)
The screen is HUGE but not overly massive. It definitely feels similar in size to an iPhone 6+ just with a smaller bezel at the side and a feeling of more space on the display
The capacitive buttons are ok, having the menu/back switched isn't a huge deal. I suspect I'll revert to onscreen ones at some point just because that's what I'm used to
It doesn't feel as "premium" compared to the glass back and weightier Nexus 4 but the screen is considerably brighter
There's no yellow band or multitouch delay
Wifi seems faster, not sure if that's subjective
Having 64gb is brilliant - I've downloaded all my Spotify albums & playlists just in case
Did I mention the awesome camera? :smile:

Those cap buttons are the only thing that pissed me off for a while, because you can accidentally slide your finger across them when typing (when you press a button towards the bottom of the screen e.g. the space bar). The amount of times I was typing a quick message, only to brush the home or back button is ridiculous. Definitely took some getting used to.

Other than that, glad you like the phone!

I have a mate who's definitely interested in getting one, does anybody have any invites going spare?

Glad people like it, looking forward to mine arriving. Assuming from what you guys are saying it just turns up at your door and there is no prior dispatch email like the said?

Oneplus One has landed, an hour after I got the email saying it had been dispatched. :lol: First impressions are awesome, but got to go out so will have to wait till tonight to set it up.

Mine was £269 for the 64GB version.

You'll need an invite.

So first impressions so far, very good. Great feel and build quality, actually prefer it to the Nexus 4 which I always worried about breaking or scratching. The back is different but I like it, especially as it doesn't slip off surfaces. I got one of their leather flip cases which I must say is excellent. Low profile and doesn't impact on the size or feel of the phone very much.

Was surprised with how excellent the packaging is, unboxing everything was an experience in itself.

Not too keen on the charger, pretty ridiculous design for UK customers, I assume I can just use a regular micso USB charger and cable with this?

Also, a few of the app icons are displayed as little Android guys. Is this due to CyanogenMod not having all the icons for every app yet?

That aside the OS is very polished and snappy, really pleased with it.

eta: icons resolved with a quick reboot. :smile:

Tbh I switched to the stock Android (kitkat) icons straight away. The stock cyanogen icons look so chit. :lol:
