Should have just walked out of store, ordered online for click and collect and then just went back in matey.

Saves on the topup.

Yep will also get £8 cashback with Quidco,not much but better than nowt.

Good point! the £8 cashback also makes the price closer to the oneplus site (guessing when taking into account the postage it'll work out pretty much the same).

Maybe next week, will have a think.

@Sp00n That is a shocker that O2 would behave in the way that they did. Yet they're boasting on their website that they've won best customer service for 7 years in a row. The competition must be pretty sure if O2 have come top!

You can try ordering on the O2 website but many of us have fallen fowl due to payments not going through.

My Mate had been trying since last week to place an order but didn't get anywhere. In the end he ordered a 3T via the sales team. Damn fast delivery seeing as he placed an order around 5.30pm it arrived the next day by 10am!

Best thing was that the phone is unlocked to all networks! He's a happy chap.

Can you buy the OP3T from O2 without the £10 quid top up? I made my mind up on getting this over the Pixel, although still looking at camera comparisons.

do you guys have any pics taken with your OP3T that you wouldn't mind sharing?

Just add the £10 PAYG top up they only send you the sim card you wont be charged for it unless you top it up.

But it says £417 when you add it? Do they not take the £10 off your card once you buy the phone?

Just went to buy one from o2, the stumbling block was they wouldn't let me put the £15 top up on my existing o2 pay and go. I had to get a new SIM. So I passed, already paying over the odds from o2 without wasting £15 on another SIM I don't want or need.

I might order online now or just wait for my 5x to get repaired or not repaired if you read various forums. Anyone know how long delivery generally is from one plus?

shocking from the o2 store you went in

i would have asked for my PAC

sure i only had to get a £10 sim when i bought mine (i was on three anyway) i chose the £10 data sim and put it in slot 2 , actually got use of the data/money that way

Thank you Opera VPN... Now rockin' the Nougat on my 3t (ran it for a week on Marshmallow to get used to Android after Windows)

Love it!! Set the Resolution a few clicks down and its beautiful!!!

Sp00n · 16 Jan 2017 at 10:54

Chucked Nougat on last night, pretty nice, not many noticeable changes apart from the notifications and display size.

Battery seems fine.

£417.99 is the price of the phone from O2 for PAYG.You could always get it from OP for £399 but would then have to deal with OP for any warranty.

For that little difference, I prefer to deal with O2,

4.0.1 has been blocked and by the end of the week will start the distribution of 4.0.2
What other details do you need?

So 4.0.2 should be out this week/next worldwide, they did say that about 4.0.1 but had to get on the VPN eventually to get the update.

TriedandTested · 17 Jan 2017 at 18:33

It's available now.

Sp00n · 17 Jan 2017 at 20:42

So it is

chilipeppersc · 17 Jan 2017 at 21:39

Ordered over here in Finland. 429€. Great price I must say for that kind of phone. Should be a bit of an upgrade on my Nexus 5!

I upgraded from a N5, the performance is night and day

Does anyone know if o2 sourced oneplus 3t's are guaranteed to get timely updates through the life of the product? Or are they subject to o2 firstly approving the software and then pushing it through - in which case I'm guessing there's risk that as the product gets older there's a greater chance of o2 slowing down updates and even stopping them if they haven't got the resource/will to approve the software?

Completely aware the oneplus is custom ROM friendly, but I'm kinda over visiting XDA to squeeze out an extra 1 ℅ in performance improvement - all for an easy life now.

Cheers

mine came from O2, last week. Seems completely free of O2 bloat. I got the Android N update by installing Opera VPN, attaching to germany and hitting the system updates button. Looks like they just come straight from Oneplus.

There is no attachment to o2, you get updates as fast as every other OP user.

Cheers Sp00n and WYNIRO, am now a paid up member of the oneplus 3t club.

First impressions are, wow, this is too thin and delicate for me. Have ordered a spigen neo hybrid to bulk it up a bit.

Stuck it on sRGB screen immediately, and yeah, the screen looks decent and as I'm not used to the standard display colours, the sRGB doesnt feel yellow to me at all, all good.
