Invite sent to Calgary Highlander. I just want to make sure they get used and aren't being wasted. Hopefully people aren't asking for invites unless they are actually ready to buy the phone immediately.

Same issue as well. I have one potential invites to send out. Please PM me if you want one and can buy right away.

EDIT: Invite claimed.

Some good points in there, but I feel like some of the analysis is done at a very high level. The OPO will probably have the better camera based on the assumption that the iPhone 6 will have a 10 mp camera? The iPhone 5s' camera is already much better than the OPO.

One of my invites I gave out was claimed but expired. I have given all my invites out on CP. Please do not ask for an invite unless you are ready to buy the phone now. Thanks.

I don't know how much longer my phone will last so you can be sure I will purchase it right away.

I happen to disagree with that given similar pictures taken between a friend and myself with a 5s. They are actually quite comparable but one can do a lot more than the other. Camera results are extremely subjective though. Judge yourself based on similar conditions at the same time.


The camera received no updates in the six generation. You are still stuck with the same 8 mp shooter as the 5s.

You are also paying $969 for the a 64GB iPhone 6 plus vs. a $420 for a Oneplus off contract. Or the other way of looking at this is $429 + two year contract on iPhone 6 plus... vs. no contract for Oneplus. Better specs, great build quality and design in a package that's half the price. You could get two Onepluses for the same price as an iPhone... not sure a few UI differences and slightly different set of apps is worth that price.

When taking photos in situations where good lighting are not available, the amount of noise in photos is pretty bad. I compared photos taken in same situations with my Nexus 5 and the Nexus 5 had less noise and capture more detail (partly due to OIS). The camera is definitely the best of the best, and that is all that I was stating. The 5s camera is usually touted as a better camera when compared to the Nexus 5, so that is background behind my claim.

Also, I never stated that the iPhone 5s was a better buy, so not sure why you are bringing up that fact. The OPO is a strong phone, especially for the money, but for me the camera performance was just not where it needs to be to justify me keeping it.

Whelp... my S2 is dying a slow and painful death.. I am thinking rather than lock myself into a new contract I'd love to just buy a device outright this time 'round... Can I get myself onto that list of CPers holding out for an invite?

Would be much appreciated!

List has been updated. Make sure your PMs are set up correctly. We've had cases where people don't respond to PMs and invite gets sent to someone else

Holy crap, you're still rocking an S2? I thought I held onto mine for a long time waiting until the LG G2 before upgrading

If anyone in Calgary is buying a OnePlus One from the online store, can you let me know? I want to get a flip case and a screen protector, but the price for shipping is ridiculous for just a case and 2 screen protectors.

It would be awesome if someone could let me know!

Yea, it's held up surprisingly well for me.

Buy aftermarket man. Their screen protectors are overpriced and you can get an actual tempered glass one for way less. I have a couple extra still if you want a normal non-tempered glass one. Their case selection is somewhat limited... but there are nice after market folio cases too... I think I posted the link before. If I didn't let me know and I'll repost.

I found the post/links! Thanks I'm assuming you like the tempered glass?

Do you recommend http://www.ebay.ca/itm/BEPAK-2-5D-An.../151399714620?
or Orzly Tempered Glass $16.99?

As for the market folio cases, there are no links that I can find that you've posted. Have you heard of any good ones, my friend has a case from the actual OnePlus store and it looks really good.

The Bepak exposes the light sensor and earpiece while the Orzly only exposes the earpiece specifically. Depends on what you prefer... I got an Orzly myself because a bit less dust but may not be worth the extra cost to you. They box feel relatively similar. Bad thing about the cheaper price is the long wait for shipping from China though.

For a nice folio case, my coworker has one of these and he really likes it. I thought I posted this already for some reason.

My Pelosi sandstone case just arrived. Absolutely perfect!

Textured like the phone is so I won't drop it and fits like a glove.
