Damn that's a big-ass phone

If by ass you meant value, then hell yes.

It's still smaller than the Nexus 6

Hmm yeah. My point is I think my S4 which is 5" is perhaps a bit too big even though it has a very slim frame, compared to the wife's HTC One M8 for example. But you get used to the size quickly I guess

 

[Sheik Yerbouti]

That too

I just did a paper cutout based on the OPO's dimensions, and it IS a big-ass phone! I'm having second thoughts about buying it now.

Looking at the pics I thought it looked huge. Might be different when you hold it and get used to it

Does it ship internationally? I ask cos Amazon.in is gonna start selling it next week, and I've signed up for an invite. So I'm not sure if I should go for that our your invite. :confused



AFAIK, it was only compatible with Nexus phones. Also, I thought it was withdrawn by Ubuntu cos it didn't do well. Either way, I wouldn't have installed it on your phone.

yes i see Ubuntu devices

how about Other versions of Linux?
i use Virtual Machine on my pc i think chroot allow linux(fedora or kali linux or ..) to run on top of Android without losing Android
Not sure though that's why I'm asking.

 

[Sheik Yerbouti]

I don't know. I've never used anything but Android on my phones.

@radekas so you have an invitation but can't use it because they don't ship to Poland?

You can use it. You need to ship it to Germany and use a shipment company which will then ship it to Poland. There are some manuals how to do it on Polish OPO sites. I gave my inv away to a random guy because I have already bought LG G2.

I never thought I'd get a phone >4.7 inches cause I have tiny hands (hold the jokes) but the phone is really slim and the back side of it is made of, what I can only describe as very very smooth sandpaper, you can't even tell it's a 5.5 inch phone and it's very easy to handle.

There is a dick joke there somewhere

Dick move by Cyanogenmod. The 'other' company mentioned is Micromax.

So lemme get this straight: cyanogen sold the rights to CM in India to Micromax?

Something like that. Exclusive rights sucks balls.

Why would they do that? And how will it affect the phone itself? No OTAs?

It'll ship with CM11 I think, but will be updated to One Plus Ones own OS later in the month. They'll probably use something that's close to stock Lollipop. You can always root and add CM since the hardware is the same regardless of the location for the One.

Man, this looks like a job for HopShopGo.
