There will be two main competitors at a similar price point when October rolls around, it'll be the Nexus 6 and the Xiaomi Mi4. The Nexus 6, if it is priced at the same range as the Nexus 5, will likely debut at a $50-100 more than the Oneplus for 48GB less storage though with a Snapdragon 805 vs. 801 (which currently isn't benchmarked that far apart). The build quality on the Oneplus was way better than the Nexus 5... though the tradeoff there is the updates are slightly delayed going through Cyanogen.
Xiaomi is going to be speced identically except the camera is poor, autofocus problems and update issues due to MIUI.
The remaining flagships are all speced worse or similarly at double the price point and with 16GB of storage to start even at that.

Anyway, this thing is awesome. |
Well... at least you got your notification within the day. I got that it was out of delivery a couple of days later. It's like they rely on drivers to manually enter the information lol.

Why you probably would like a glass screen protector vs a traditional plastic film one. Sharp impacts will not be good if you only have the plastic. With film or bare, this would have been a broken screen

Three days door to door for me. It didn't take that long to actually get here once they processed the shipment. Mind you, holidays and weekends don't count.

Wife just called to tell me it's waiting for me at home. Very quick shipping, I'm impressed.
*cough* *cough* I think I might need to cut out early today... throat is bugging me or something....
If I get invites, I'll share some of them here.

I'm pretty sure it just is the waybill number, but others may be able to chime in regarding that.

I think 1_flames_fan is out and so am I for now, I've added you to invite wait list for when we get more. Make sure PM is active for you since these expire quick usually and you might not much notice before the message comes in.

Yeah, i had that issue too, I was trying to pay it too soon. Waybill is found when you track you product.
Sign up for the email notifications so that you know when it hits customs, that's when you should try to pay it.
Also make sure you the Canadian site for the DHL to pay the brokerage and customs, if you use the american side, it will not find your waybill #.
I had that issue this morning too

You will get it today. "Southern Alberta" is their code for Calgary.
