And actually I lied, I also miss the volume/power button placement on my LG G2. In fact that phone was the best physically designed phone I've ever used. If they release a Google Play edition of the G3 I may have to sell the OnePlus

The back buttons on the G2 always felt kind of weird to me even after using it for a couple of weeks. Maybe I just never got used to the feel of that placement. In any case, I didn't hear of any renewals to the GPE program. Silver still hasn't been announced at all

Ordered on Monday, delivered Thursday (wasn't home), actually received Friday. Shipping cost was $31.30 for shipping/brokerage and it was prepaid, so I saved $5. Phone cost was $376.99. Total then, is $408.29 here in Alberta.
Phone was very durably shipped in two boxes, one for the phone and a smaller one for the charger. The boxes themselves have a quality 'iPhone' box heavy feel to them. The sim card tool is nice too. No documentation that I can see...
The phone is big. Its screen is almost 2" larger than my S4. It had 57% charge when I turned it on LOL. Scrolling through the menus and various setup screens is fast and responsive, with no lag at all. The text and icons have an elegant look to them, it really shows that this is a high end phone. The rear of the case has a nice grainy textured feel. Almost sad that I'm going to put a case over it. Feels heavy in your hand. Solid.
I haven't transferred all my stuff over yet (will this weekend) but will give a more comprehensive review when I do.
Planning on getting this case:

and a Zagg screen protector as long as they carry it...
Once again, BIG thank you to FlameOn who started this crazy ride... |
No problem man. Looks like you are enjoying your phone. I had the same issue thinking about the case I was going to put on it... though in the end I decided to just buy a bumper to protect things from a huge drop. Unfortunately Zagg does not make screen protectors for the Oneplus (much smaller addressable market than Samsung) and the only one I would consider now is a glass one anyways. You'll know what I mean when you actually get to feel a glass one.

Paypal unfortunately screws you on the exchange rate by charging an additional 1-2% on top of what your credit card already charges. So... yea... That sucks.
Hm... I wonder what happened to Cky and dfsFlamesfan.
EDIT: In case anyone was wondering still waiting for my friend to get her invites but I expect three more to give away here when those show up. I'm hoping it's soon in any case and will hand those out whenever I get them (expect that to be my last batch... gave away my invites as well as another friends already here)... One of the other people who ordered may get things rolling before myself though.
