And that's why the OnePlus One is BANNED in India, now.

CM sold out.

5.5 inch screen with 2GB or RAM for $140? Yes please...Even if it is only Kit Kat right now.

It does suck for competition for the folks in India, but what a great price.

Talking to a lot of Indian coworkers today about this and they all universally hate Micromax for consistent quality issues, zero after sales support and terrible hardware design. They've told me to stay far away.

Legal battle with Cyanogen, Micromax and Oneplus right now. Basically all caused by Micromax throwing a pile of money at Cyanogen. Cyanogen violating previous agreements and Micromax being insanely litigation happy from the get-go.
Quote:
OnePlus had a worldwide (excluding mainland China) non-exclusive right to use the Cyanogen trademarks and ship the software on their device. This agreement was in place for a time period, and said that Cyanogen wouldn’t work with other OEMs to develop or integrate the system during this time in the regions covered by the agreement. Cyanogen then went and made an agreement with Micromax that was exclusive (despite OnePlus already having non-exclusive rights to these countries), and told OnePlus they were terminating their agreement in an email simply saying they were terminating. Such a contract termination is most definitely unusual, and normally is not permitted without (significant) penalties. Given OnePlus and Cyanogen have agreed to settle disputes in this contract in California, we may well see further lawsuits in the new year over this matter, as the judgement highlighted that Cyanogen may well be liable to OnePlus for their breach of contract. Micromax succeeded in their injunction request against OnePlus, preventing the import and sale of OnePlus devices, on account of their exclusivity deal.

Wow...well, that makes things different. Guess if it's too good to be true, it most likely is. Plus, helping to contribute to violating previous agreements is not cool.
