OnePlus is finally gonna roll out their first invites. They have 3 criteria that decide how much chance you have of getting one. Also the invites will only last for 24h. Read all here: http://forums.oneplus.net/threads/invites-for-our-loyal-forum-members.13191/

uh, they released them a while ago, most of the first 100 already have their phones.

Yeah they won the contest, but now OnePlus is going to start giving out invites to buy the phone.

Yeah me too, but they said they aren't going to sell through retail because that costs too much and there's an invite system for "hassle free" buying and so that you won't have to wait for ages when you have pre-ordered. But in my opinion the invite system only makes it worse...

Yup me too. I only heard about the phone when it was revealed and created my forum account after that. But I'm still user 28,957 which makes me pretty average. (total is getting close to 50,000)

Yeah no offense but I don't buy that: If there's anything the Chinese can pull off is enough margins and next to nothing production costs (after all you can easily buy Oppo phones, and yes it's the fucking same company don't but into their "investors" crap is probably not even a different assembly line) I think it's just a PR stunt to keep up the hype,
