*** OnePlus 2 ***

Or just use profiles?

For example, when I connect to wifi at work, phone goes to vibrate only. Likewise, when I connect ot my home WiFi it disables my lockscreen etc. No touching of tags needed.

This. Llama worked really well and doesn't even need root. As for file sharing Pushbullet made things a lot easier. NFC was basically useless for me.

Wonder if I'd notice much of a performance increase going LG G2 > OP2.

In theory I should. LG G2 is a two year old handset. I just don't think the OP2 is a 'flagship killer'

People need to get over their motto. In the end it's the actual phone for the money that matters.

This would be my pick under £300.

That's nice, but many people use nfc and still want a sub 300 quid phone.

Surely plenty of other phones with NFC you can pick if its really that important.

Nfc? I have phone with that now and never used it.

NFC thing isnt a big deal for me.

As for the OnePlus Two I have a OPO at the moment and dont feel the need to upgrade, if I did the new MOTO X Play looks a decent phone.

Anyone willing to give me an invite, I already have a One PLus One!

For 300 quid?

For 300 quid?

Plenty of phones with NFC around that price. There's always the Moto X Play...

They are auctioning off the first bunch of invites for Unicef - https://blog.oneplus.net/2015/08/invites-for-a-cause/

OMG I just checked ebay, people are playing £100+ for invites (not charity ones), is this phone really that good!!!

 

[CorrectHorseBattery]

Another ridiculous invite system from OnePlus.

How is that even possible? No one even has an invite yet .

I decided to give it a little go and now I'm back up from 17K to 10K ...

Honestly though even if you're high up on the list, depending on how much OP2 OP has in stock you may not get the first batch, as forum members and other priority members will get the invites first before they even begin with the reservation list. The list itself is very punishing for those who have no one to share their link with...

With a similar spec to the OP2? No.

 

[kona786]

With a similar spec to the OP2? No.

There is no perfect phone. Full stop.

I'd buy on of these if they didn't expect me to beg for it.

They have over 2 million people on the reservation list now. Why didn't they just make a million devices and sell them on their website? When it's clear the demand is high, make more devices?

It really is an awful way of selling something despite their reasons for using the invite system.

Quite agree. Could not be bothered. Now auctioning invites..... really?

Wonder how many will stump up the cash and actually buy one? I've not checked it out but presume you aren't obligated to buy one?
