Figured I would start this early. Please post why you deserve an invite so those that have may share with you. Per forum rules please no exchanging of money or goods just sharing out of the kindness of your heart.
I deserve an invite because ...
I started this thread
Invites are needed again?
Sent from my LG-H815
I genuinely want this phone and hope someone is kind enough to throw me an invite!! Paying it forward is an awesome (and rare) thing to do these days.
I have gone mad by using HOX+ and his 3 hours SOT battery and now I am looking for something new but cheaper. I wanted to buy Oneplus One but thetn I read that Oneplus Two is coming. I would be very happy if someone is good enough to share invite with me.

I deserve it because.....
I'm really cute
And I'm giving up on htc One X and htc one m8. They are great phones...but I want more!
Please, share the invite with me too....
Thank you in advance! - And now you are cutie too :good::fingers-crossed:
*sigh*
this again... I would like an invite but even more I'd like the ability to just order the phone... without this invite game. No one liked it the first time (well no one without invites) so why repeat it? I have to earn the right (lotto or sweepstakes style) to pay full price for a phone... really? Only thing that will help is if they have a crazy number of invites. I would actually prefer them wait until they have enough stock before selling the phone and just have a normal preorder then regular order system.... even if that means it wont come out for another 6 months.... think I'm crazy? You probably wont even earn an invite until then anyways.... I wasted so much time trying to get an invite for the oneplus one that eventually I lost interest all together.
If this phone is priced the same as others ($600-700) I think sales will suffer due to this invite system and there wont be a one plus 3. I hope I'm wrong... but doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result is insane... Oneplus one launch was NOT a success but a failure... so repeating that is a bad idea (the metric to judge this is it was a desired phone by by the time everyone could get an invite they were so pissed that they didn't want it even when they had invites... I couldn't give my invites away). I'm hoping this time they will be more prepared and send out 200,000 invites a day at LEAST.
Sorry had to be said
*drops mic*
From a buyer point of a view the invite system is as annoying as it can be, but from their POV it was a success.
They did not antecipate or have the resources to meet the demand without cutting it with the invites.
They also do not spend money on marketing so the invite system is free publicity, hey arent we doing it right now?
Im looking for a replacement for my N5 so maybe the OPT might be it, we'll see when the specs are out.
I'd like an invite because I'm curious about Oneplus phones. While I won't just go get the One because the 2 is right around the corner, I'd like to give it a try. I've been forever stuck on brand name phones, changing phones out every year, I'd like a phone that has a great price point.

I think the price was what made them successful not the invite system. The big thing that hit the media was a top of the line phone with midrange price. The invite system brought frustration and the same media outlets that praised them at first turned against them. Now their name is out and they do not need to play with invites... Bringing that back would be a mistake. Maybe as a pre-release - get your hands on the device before launch thing but other than that I see it as a bad idea. If they just release normal they will probably win the market. If they keep playing games it will be their down fall. Yes, I agree from their POV they may think it was a success but it brought frustration. I do know they did not have a choice but this year they do, if they anticipate high demand put off the launch until they can fill most orders within the first or second month. If people know a decent ETA of when they can have the phone in their hand it will restore faith in their buyers. Problem solved. ☺

My OPO was just stolen yesterday, have had to go back to using my old S2..
Cant wait for the OP-2.. but of course wait for the dreaded invite.. hope to get one in the first batch
Australia shipping maybe?
An invite and local Australian shipping would be great. Don't like having to give other people money just to get phone into Australia when they could just list it as an option.
I deserve an invite because my dad is still using a laggy Nokia c7.
I'm looking forward to getting one too! If someone ever got one, I'm already in the line ahah
Give me an invite, or don't, doesn't really matter to me. It would just be nice to have a phone that isn't locked down tighter than Guantanamo (current Verizon S5 user).
I would love an invite as I'm currently running an HTC One M7 with the horrid pink/purple camera issue. I don't have a spare phone and use it for work so I couldn't deal with sending it in for warranty repairs, and I'm waiting until August before my contract is up with AT&T to get a new phone without paying full price. Either way, all of the current options this time around just don't entice me, but being able to get a flagship-level phone out of contract for (assuming) not $600+ would be great.
As an upcoming university student this fall, budgets and money is very slim for me. It sucks because my hobby and passion of having the best devices is very expensive. I love my Nexus 4 because it provides great experience and was very affordable, and the One Plus Two will continue that for me. Would LOVE an invite Thank you !
hi, I would like to receive an invite because I'm fed up with these brads that are selling in my country. you could only buy samsung, HTC, LG, Apple,... no other brads. Can you please send me an invite?
thank you.
I have an iPhone 5 and want to give a chance to the android system.

Is it just because you don't like KK? I know there is some sentiment on the forums about KK and there is some type of a flame war. Maybe some dev will pick this up.

Haha, dude.. If you where a developer wouldn't you want done type of compensation for your efforts? If you want something that bad just party for it. We are lucky more of these guys do all of this for us without asking for anything in return. That said, 5$ for a rom is not that bad man.. Thats less than 1 meal at a fast food place.
Support android, support our phone and the developers who make it better and better daily. I don't know, just my take on the situation.

Just asking but how much are you paying for cell service? How much did you pay for the phone that came not fully functional? Seems if you want to OC to 1.3 and have it fully functional $5 is a small price to pay considering the amount of work involved.
I'm with the OP on this one. I think it's retarded to pay a subscription to be a "premium member". I don't know why people felt they needed to attack the OP....to each their own I guess.
I dont think they attacked the op, but most of this community knows that developers put alot of hardwork and effort into kernels, roms, ect. They have to put up with complaints, and people whinning. They have to offer assistance for issues, and asnwer thousands of questions. 5 dlls is a small fee to pay

I'm sorry if you feel we are attacking the OP. Do a quick search and you will see he has posted this same topic several times in the last 24hrs. Maybe that's part of the reason. In my opinion, if he want's that extra bump it would seem like a small price to pay. Phone is plenty fast enough for most users at 1.2 and that's free thanks to the contributions from users and the kindness and dedication of the developers here. Just my 2 pennies.

Yeah, at least for me, I have no problem paying developers for their hard work, but over the course of a year, 5 dollars a month becomes 60 dollars which, yeah, is really more that this is worth, especially if we want to spend it on other things as well (other software, etc). Just saying. 5 dollars once is one thing, 5 dollars / month is another.
I don't really understand what the problem is here, ask king for his code. It's the beauty of the GPL. It would be nice to get that code, Eugene's 2.2 kernel source and that nice I9000 filesystem mod all together in a neat little kernel for 2.2 on the vibrant.

the way things are going with htc, motorola, etc. locking the roms with acutal hardware - whats the point.
if we keep gabbing over 5 bucks what is going to keep devs willing to spend their time and brains, if people are going to cry about it once they release it.
pretty soon it won't be the developers or google we are yelling about it will be the handset manufactur and the provider.
What gets me is there are several people over at KKs board right now that have paid and have received no password for platinum access nor has anyone even tried to help. That isn't right.
If you head over to kks forum under the Vibrant development you'll see several people that have paid days ago with no password nor any help. Not cool.....

My thoughts are scattered. At one point i'd say a 1.2 oc is not going to pale much in comparison to a 1.3. My other thoughts would be a one time fee is more reasonable but also harder to swallow. Would you rather pay fifteen dollars straight up or monthly cost. I can't see anyone paying fifteen straight up.
Other thoughts. It's disappointing how much well get for free and are not satisfied. However I think donating is a good way to show appreciation I do not believe these things should be done with the intention of making money but if they at putting this much time into it and not getting enough donations to make it worth it to where they have to feel the need to charge. That's just too bad. In the end if you don't like the cost of a product don't buy it...

Yeah but you also have people over at kks forum that aren't receiving what they paid for nor any support on the matter so why would anyone that's been to that thread and seen that pay knowing they won't receive any support.

Unoffcial manufactures and carrier dev's
Yes let's not tinker with our electronics let's all run stock software on all our devices from smart-phones pc's sat receivers ect. Let's all pay out the ass every year for new hardware/software like I really need my phone oc to 1.5ghz I like being locked to a market and have to buy apps that the dev's of apps get taken for 20% by the market (apple, Google, ms) ect. I love my phone locked to the carrier that charges 10 cents a sms for 160 character e-mail. Let's just assume that a 1ghz smart-phone needs to be a quad core 4.0 with 2 gig internal ram. So I can play 3d games on a 4" screen while I work in open office on my power point pres. and sms and make a call at same time while my nice 27" computer is 20 feet away. I love having 10 old cell phones lying around love figuring out what the hell is this charger is for. For god sakes man please let me give US $$$ to the Asian countries instead.............. (they actually own everything anyway)
PC's get smaller Phones gets bigger and tablets are just baffling me. Cant's we just get an implant in our brains for all of it?
Sorry recieving an OTA update to my head have to lay down 8 hours so I have to end this rant....... Sure hope the gas.lib gets fixed this time it's been hell farting out of my ears........

Hey at least your getting your sleep OTA update. I'm still lost due to my bad GPS update and don't get me started about my frozen yogurt. I'm just trying to get a better taste in my mouth!
I don't see the point of OC-ing any more. We only have one dev doing kernels. Also because once we like 1.4 GHz stable, then those same ppl asking for that kernel is gonna be complaining about the battery being drained too quick.

Guys, who all have got sgs2 today as promised by handtec in uk ?
R u guys happy with their delivery service ? Why no one has posted their new experience with this phone ?
One strange thing is bugging me, eventhough sgs2 is such a popular device around the world, why handtec still has huge stock left ? Is it because they have too much of stock or no one except few crazy people like me have bought it from them ?
I mean this is very strange for handtec, as new device gets released arlest we have to wait for min 1 month until we get the devices in stock. Atleast that's what happened to me last year when I ordered htc desire...
I guess the reason could be because of the samsung's thoughtful plan of releasing it throughout the world at the same time or around a minimum duration.
Or it might be because of lack of NFC which is preventing people from buying it online from uk ??? I think it's the least cause for the people to do it that way for such a master piece in the whole mobile industry till today....
This is what I guess whenever I see " in stock next day delivery" on their website now....
Anyone could possibly know what's the genuine reason for handtec still having the stocks in ???
no its because handtec is HUGE and they ordered a huge supply..

I just hope there is stock left at the end of the week. Because if AT&T/Samsung do not announce the S II U.S. launch date at their press conference Thursday, I will be ordering from UK.
It sounds like they are launching in 120 countries this week and next so I assume they made sure to have plenty of stock.
Any chance of them reducing the price of sgs2 to promote the sales ?
If it's like that, then I am here to wait for another 2 wks..... You know competition is always good for customer....
Samsung has really done a great job by decentralizing the availability of their master piece till date.....
I think it's foolishness tobexpect the price drop atlasest for another 3 months....
My bad..... I will order for one from them.... It would have been nice if the UK model carried NFC chip along with it.... Too bad that samsung played a dirty trick to boost their sales figures.....
Hmm.... Pls don't repeat this trend samsung.... No one likes it .....
Can we have some unboxing pics & new hands on experience from UK buyers.... Pls many people here like me are dying to see this sexy showing off it's true collies until we all have one in our hands.... Pls.... It's a request to those who have already bought it... Tease us with pics, not by just asking or commenting about new feature or doubts..... We as fed up of seeing those threads with questions about new features & unknown things about sgs2.....
Come on guys..... Do us some favour by posting things what we would like to see here....
it is actually a interesting question, why wouldn't they have stock?
They know how many are pre-ordered and they just got it from samsung, that's it
After all handtec is a big business, I trust their ability to fulfill all pre-orders and having a handful handsets left for sale.
Yeah I hope so.... Over a period of years they must have learnt s lesson on his to stay ahead in the market with many new competitors introduced.....
Actually it's a good thing gig them as well as for us....
I wish they have enough stick till I order one for me from them... way to go handtec.... Keep it up
Also I am dying to see someone post screen shots of unboxing & hands on review pls ... Only pics would suffice our desires to see this beauty flying in colours....
you'll have to wait for tomorrow for that...

i'm utterly confused by this thread
Statutory Warning : This post is SUPER long! May cause delusions, dehydration, rage towards Motorola and/or VZW or depression! For those who can't withstand this post, skip to the end for a one line summary.
So it has been over 8, dreadful and painful months with the DX2. And to dull this pain, I had you guys to follow and read up on. Great devs and their ROMs, Pepperm1nt, Nitro, the_guy_who_made_liberty (Oops, I dunno the name of the guy), Ryman222 for his Molten (which incidentally was my first ROM) and then comes mastafunk, aceoyame and the one and only Dragonzkiller!!! He was THE guy who let me have hope over the last few months (of course, with respect to my phone! If he was the sole reason I'd have hope in my life over the last few months then something is SERIOUSLY wrong with me... ).
There are many others like Moonshadow, TransX2, TravisdroidX2, iBolski (who was the inspiration for my BBB Moto attack), gaad0701, antp121 , Sandso9, ashclepdia(OMG! How did I forget you!) ad infinitum! All of you guys helped me have fun around in these forums and gave me numerous thanks as well. I am very grateful to you and will definitely miss you when I leave. So I'll still pop in every now and then so that I don't completely miss you guys!
Anyway, coming to the actual news! I got a Droid Incredible 2, currently being shipped by VZW with a back plate and a battery as well! Swell! Here is how this happened.
Over the last 1-2 weeks, I got very active in pursuing my Moto and VZW complaints. So, many phone calls, emails and chats have been exchanged. But in short, nothing significant emerged. Then I heard people complaining to VZW and getting a call from an engineer and being offered a Gnex!!! Naturally, I was jealous, but also inspired and motivated to attack VZW to score a new phone.
I got a call from VZW in response to my online complaint. I seized this opportunity to get in touch with a Tech support rep and elaborated and bemoaned about my phone's countless issues. She was sympathetic and TRIED to check if I could possibly get a different phone. Unfortunately I couldn't. BUT she said something that intrigued me! She said that I did not hit the threshold that would make me eligible to getting a different phone. I was told that I needed to order ONE more DX2 replacement device before I can get a different phone. You see, I only ordered one replacement so far. So I hatched a plan.
I ordered a second replacement DX2 (making it the third DX2 I had, the first being the one I purchased and the second and third being the replacements). I ordered it yesterday and I received it today.
Then, I didn't waste anytime tinkering and checking this phone. Instead I activated it and immediately called VZW claiming that this phone had all the issues my previous 2 phones had as well. They lied to you (Moto and VZW) so why not you lie as well! I told them I was not happy and that I was sure that getting another DX2 as a replacement will not help either as it seems to be an issue with all Droid X2's. I added that I was told if I had issues with this phone too, then they may be able to offer me a different model. She looked into it and said, YES, they can offer me a different model!!! Huzzah! Success, finally!
I went through the process and was told that I can have either the HTC Dinc2, the Motorola Droid 3 or the older Samsung Fascinate. Samsung fascinate!? Bleh! No thank you! Droid 3!!!??? Are you ****ing serious!!!??? It is like from one hell to another!!! Not only does it have a locked Bootloader, but it is not even confirmed to get ICS as of now! Plus, I will not go for Droid 3, purely on moral and ethical grounds. I will NOT be doing business with a company that plainly doesn't give a **** about its customers, like Motorola!
On the other hand, HTC has unlocked the Bootloader for the Dinc2 AND it has added Dinc2 to its ICS upgrade list!!! . Plus as per XDA forums, Dinc2 has LOADS of ICS ROMs. Now that is my sort of company!
So sign me up for a HTC Droid Incredible 2 I said to the customer care rep. And she did.
To others wanting to ditch this phone and get a new one like me, the following are some tips and tricks.
1. Complain to VZW. CALL Tech Support: 866-221-4096.Tell them all the faults of your phone you can think of. Refer to this list if you need help : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=24528918&postcount=12
2. Tell them that you checked online forums and it appears that ALL DX2's have this problem. So, request them to give you a different device.
3. Now, if you had one or less replacements so far, you MAY not receive a different device. Still, try your best to push for it by stating the systematic issues with it and claiming that ALL DX2's have it. No harm in trying. If not, do what I did and order a replacement DX2 first. It won't cost you anything and you can order another replacement the very next day once you receive this one.
4. After you crossed the threshold of 2 or more replacements, repeat Step 1 and 2. Clearly mention that you have talked to a customer rep previously and that they told you that if you are still facing problems with the device, and if you have had significant replacements (the magic number is 2) then you can be considered/will be eligible to get a different device. Even though this may not have happened, the fact is true and I can confirm it. So, no harm in claiming that you were told as such. Repeat that you are sure and 100% positive that the problem won't be solved by a replacement DX2 and that you really want a different device.
5. After the VZW rep agrees, which I believe he/she will and should, go through your replacement options, choose the device you like best and proceed with ordering it as a replacement. Thank your lucky stars you reached this step. Go to your favorite church/temple/mosque/other spiritual place and pray/donate/do social or community service if you got REAL lucky and got a Gnex or may be even a Razr (though it is Craparola's Razr!!!)
6. Once your device arrives at home, close your eyes and return Craparola's DX2.
7. Profit! Sit back, relax and enjoy your new phone and the new found freedom it provides you!!!
The end!
Once again, I am glad I made SO many friends in this community. I am grateful for the entertainment, fun and thanks you guys gave me! I will pop in regularly and check up if Moto did anything right OR if you guys got CM9/ICS via DZK, some other dev or Moto!!!
May you survive this ****storm and hopefully emerge victorious by making Moto do what you want or be bailed out, like me, via VZW!
Cheers!!!
TL;DR? Well read this: Pained by Motorola and its DX2, I got bailed by VZW. Got myself a HTC Droid Incredible 2, yippee and Woohoo!
If Cspire had better lineup of phones then I would take the same route as I love to hack and fiddle with my devices. But I can't so I'm stuck with it. The phone itself is honestly the best I've had. I'm just disappointed that I can't toy around with it much.

it was a good run. gave me hope with all the work you did to try and get moto to fix this piece of ****. good luck in the VIVOW (sick codename btw) world. i would go for a dinc2 but my contracts up within the next month. thnks for the shoutout btw and you WILL be missed

Oh, CAN'T WAIT!!!
I picture MoonShadow-NM saying: "Patience, little grasshopper"!!!
By the way, all the time I was talking to the customer rep and then she said she can send me a different model device, my hand was shaking and I was giddy with excitement!!!
Enjoy and good for you. I have been currently watching swappa for another device. I agree with your post and you never know I will see what device I end up on next.
Yea I'm waiting on my BBB complaint right now. Its been only a couple days but I'm holding out hope that I can get something better. As it is now, I love this phone but all the problems make me want another kind. I have a year left on the contract and don't know when early upgrade is but I don't plan on buying another device outright.

I was offered the Droid Incredible 2 as well, but sent it back. Rooting is complex, and S-Off? What is that? I read the sticky threads, and found out that you actually need to downgrade the phone to root it.
The phone is slow in comparison to the DX2, the stock launcher/homescreens are not customizable, no Bluetooth auto-answer, and I would not be able to tether it without paying another $30 for data that I am already grandfathered in for unlimited.
My phone was fine until I paired my Bluetooth headset, then all the issues started. I need a phone that can handle heavy Bluetooth usage and Bluetooth music listening.
I guess I will wait until August for my upgrade date.

Yea If I'm only offered that I think I'll tell them to try harder, a lot harder. As if I'm going to take a device that has a smaller screen and was less money then what I bought my phone for.
YAY!
after much *****ing and crying to VZW, the lady offered me an early upgrade. not much to be excited for bc my contract was up june 18 but this weekend... the rezound is 50$. ordered and on its way! i told her all my problems with the phone, she asked her supervisor if i could get a different replacement. after she said no, (never had a replacement before) i asked if i could get an early upgrade. she said she had to ask her supervisor and 15 mins later she said i could! i then asked of i could have a free rezound she said no but i decided to spring because, well, I HATE THIS PHONE !! should be here by Tuesday if all goes well AND... i have off this week so a LOT of time to tinker. 50 bucks for one of the best vzw phones NOT made by CRAPorola? sign me up anyday. i guess this is goodbye dx2 family thanks to all the great devs we have (DZK, Ace, Nitro) the modders (motcher, MoonShadow, skwoodwiva) the themers (hedwig ) and the all around good people in this forum (Ash, Litetaker, BreatheALittle) ill pop back in every once in a while just to see if moto shapes up Good Luck in all your endeavors and hope you all are able to move past this phone
PS: Breathe i hope you do get the Rezound, that way we can fight, i mean share our passion for hockey some more lol

Dude I had the EXACT same feeling when the person I bought my nexus from told me they put it on eBay with buy it now at 350(I am doing a split payment on it, so he put the nexus on for 350buy it now and extended bat for 100 that I pay for next week) and after he told me I refreshed the page and it wasn't showing up at first I was like seriously if someone got it in that 15seconds since he notified me it was ready I would have flipped lol
But for the whole two hours I was conversing with the guy my adrenaline was flowing for sure lmfao

The downgrade to root and s-off is a one time deal
Once u have s-off u root easily any build u want usually
That's how it was with my buddies incredible
It was actually a LOT easier than I expected it to be lol

Hi everybody
I have 2 Touchpad's that have unfortunately died, there's no damage to them but they refuse to charge.
I've now bought a Samsung galaxy tab pro so they are are up for grabs.
I would prefer collection but am happy to post with a sae if necessary.
Basis all the support and advice I've received here I would like to give back to the community.
Also have a couple of touchstones that are only being used as stands for my samsung.
I'm not on line as much as I used to be (Health reasons) so please DON'T expect an immediate response.
I will obviously be looking at post count and number of thanks when requests are in.

My oldest daughter uses our TouchPad, and has for years. My son is old enough now to be jealous. I would love to have another touchpad. I'd be happy to see if I could get one or both of those working and set them up with KK so that my kids can be on equal footing. I'm not familiar with 'collection' or 'SAE', my wife deals with shopping and shipping a lot more than I do. Do you have any takers yet?

SAE stands for self addressed envelope, yes one the big contributers has also asked for one. I believe that shipping cost to the US /Canada are approximately £20 ($32).I'm happy giving them away and will probably chuck in a Touchstone with each but don't want to be out £40 ie 20 per.
I will check on the cost and report back .
Roland you definitely have one to play with, I can't believe that haven't got one bearing in mind all the tutorials you have done.
If you and Roland are OK with that I'll get it organised next week or when ever is convenient.
Please note that I can't guarantee that you are able to get it to charge. They haven't been dropped but just refused to charge. Hopefully if you can't get it working you can cover your costs by selling for part's.

Hey, I ran this idea by my wife, and while I thought it was a stellar idea, she didn't agree. I really appreciate the offer, so I won't be able to go through with it after all. Sorry
Hey buddy, i would be glad to take one of those off of your hands along with the touchstone, i live in Colorado, please pm me and I'll get you whatever you need to get it out to me, thanks!
I would like one please, I'm here in the UK west middle-lands which would make it easier for you.
Hi
If you still have one of these I would love to have a play with it. I am actually in Brighton so could collect from you as long as you are accessible by bus (I don't drive)
Have you left them on the charger for hours??? I had the issue a couple times where they wouldn't charge, but after leaving them on the charger for hours they finally came back to life. Also, does the little light flash across the home button when you put them on a charger?
I am also interested. Any chance either of the TouchPads are the white 64-gig devices?
I understand at this point I am last in line, so if other takers back out, please let me know. I can paypal you the money ASAP.
--McBean
I'll take one. I need it for parts.
@sstar Great thing you're doing, happy with my touchpads but would love a touchstone if you have one still. Contribution wise, my Touchpad Automated Installer has had 17500+ downloads so helped a fair few people!

Since i am pretty sure of NOT getting this phone anytime soon ( i'm at about the 275000 position ) , why not look to my follow Canadians for invites. So if you guys/girls have spare invites, share them here, between Canadians. I'll do the same when i get mine ( if ever... )

Going to be busy...
Well, i would buy a 1+2 if the shipping price in Canada with custom duty was not so high... It's already over $500 CAD and i expect to charge $100+ more for shipping here. It's not a deal and you should wait to see if the new Nexus 5/6 2015's better or the OnePlus Two v2 incoming this year would be better or way better, a Project ARA phone if it don't fail. Also, Snapdragon 820's coming soon too. I am from Montréal in the Québec Province.

Hola
I am with you on this. I have the oneplus one and am currently using S6. I can't see much benefit of buying this version especially with a weak Canadian to US dollar rate.
I am holding out for the new Nexus. I will say that I miss my custom ROMs terribly, the S6 sucks eggs due to poor development. There are a few ROMs out there but nothing like oneplus or Nexus phones.
"So what you want me to do 'bout that?"
US dollar never stopped me from getting what i wanted, but i understand that it can get expensive. I never have anything shipped to Canada, crazy shipping rates, over charges, brokerage., etc... And they are using the WORST cie for that DHL.... I have my stuff shipped to the US near the border and go get it, it's a 30-45 minutes drive, get my stuff, go have a burger and a beer at the Plattsburg marina's Naked Turtle, and come back.
So according to info from the oneplus forums "There will NOT be any CBSA related Customs Duty Fee / Boarder fee when ordering and shipping the Oneplus 2!"
Shipping, the same cost as the oneplus one will be $28USD or approx $37CND
https://forums.oneplus.net/threads/canadian-customers-no-more-customs-duty-fee.328542/
For US orders $389 + $16 (standard shipping) = $405USD or approx $530CND
https://forums.oneplus.net/threads/official-oneplus-one-shipping-tax-u-s.13183/
For a total of $516CND it is currently cheaper to have it shipped to your door than heading over to the US. This will change back and forth depending on how the dollar goes, but all in all its not too bad.

That's great news. I think that last time ( Oneplus One ) only people from Quebec and Vancouver (?) got hit by a surcharge at delivery by DHL ?
I'm not sure about the DHL extra charge I suspect it's random and nothing to really do with Quebec or Vancouver. I mean all it takes is one DHL employee who isn't sure if the duty was paid or not and people will get double charged. That employee could be working at any DHL location.
Btw I'm number 5xx,000 on the reservation list so please help a brother out with an invite if and when possible. And I say xx cuz everytime I check the number grows, started at ~517,000 now I'm like ~580,000 [emoji20]

Not sure...lol This is what the app tells me but on website it's different....
You peeps really need to read this forum post..... The reservation list is NOT a guarantee you will receive an invite... It's simply used for unused inches and if that happens they will go to the list. I bought on the 11th and the price was $479.00 for the 2, with $36.98 shipping and $60 in taxes.... Crappy that the Canadian dollar is so bad right now...
https://forums.oneplus.net/threads/reservation-list-discussion.325634/
---------- Post added at 09:51 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:49 PM ----------
As far as I know the only invites given are for Pop Ups and contests... I'm OnePlus member #380 and still have not received my early supporter invite... So it will be some time until the reservation list will be used... 8)
Fully aware of the fate of the reservation list members. It sucks but it is the official line. In all honesty I will wait until the nexus 2015 are available for purchase and don't prove to be overly offensive. The current LG based leaks looks horrible to me, I mean there are $100usd android one phones that look much better than that.
Soo as I was saying if I get the invite after I purchase a nexus 2015 then I'll just ignore it. The only reason why I am curious and want to try oneplus 2 is because there is such tremendous support for the oneplus one on xda.
While I want an invite asap I went into this eyes wide open. Which brings up the question, could I get your referral invite when you do get that?

Same thing for me , i'm on the list but unsure IF i will "push" to get one. I for one, won't degrade myself doing moronic stuff to get higer on the list , like they are asking people to do , i.e. flash mobs and stuff. Looking at reviews i am starting to think that my Oneplus One is still very capable, the 2 hasn't anything really that i want beside being shinny and new
Lol so true. At times I wonder if oneplus is a real company or if they are really an experiment being run by the psychological warfare arm of the people's liberation army.

Well, it looks like Canada isn't getting OnePlus Two for a while[emoji14] I am still eagerly awaiting my invite as well. Seems we are unlucky.

So there are now an increasing number of threads on the oneplus forum for international customers getting their invites.
Alas these invites are not shareable despite the good intentions of some members.
Anyone here get have any luck?

Would love an invite. Probably just gonna end up buying an invite on eBay.
