First of all, how does this affect you? 800MHz is used in some rural areas of Europe. So if you don’t live close to a city, or if you travel outside urban areas, you may lose LTE signal and fall back to 3G. But all LTE is not created equal. 800MHz LTE speeds are only up to 50 Mbps while regular HSPDA+ (3G) can go up to 42 Mbps. OnePlus One supports 3G flawlessly in Europe, so depending on the location and situation, the difference may not actually be all that great. It’s possible that signal strength inside buildings even in non-rural areas may improve, but this is less relevant because our signal strength is some of the industry’s strongest to begin with. Many of today’s flagships fail to pass our rigid signal testing standards.
I'm Happy with this for the money alternative is go with EE

looks legit? I know they've run out of phones in the UK(again) and are sending them from china.

Well, just got a message that my preorder is being sent today even though I only put an order on thursday, should be here by the end of the week!
Excited!
Well it serves them right if that's the case. No one should be subjected to a shoddy RMA procedure and threads being deleted on the Oneplus forum if customers take to venting on there.
Shame on you OnePlus.
Quality phone, shame about your Customer Service.
I would say that it's growing pains from a fledgling company but it's no secret that Oneplus are owned by Oppo so I don't get why they can't just deal with the issue in an appropriate and timely manner.
Not knocking OnePlus but the way they've gone about hyping their phone and the invite system it just sucks and detracts from the product which is extremely good and possibly the best flagship phone out at the moment from the current crop.
However I hope they get badly burned by the situation as it will serve them right. No consumer should be treated like ****.
I'd assume to deal straight with the seller from Ali and not OnePlus as I don't think the latter would do anything should I run into any issues.
yeah I do want to give it a shot but I CBA looking at the way they treat their customers.. massive hype and then random invite system just killed it.
imo have normal out of stock or in stock system going and that's it.. what's this all bum kissing thing about..
I hear you Dude. I can't stand companies that treat their customers like rubbish. Especially since they hyped the phone to the max and we're bigging themselves up in every single department yet when push come to shove they failed to deliver on the CS front.
Making their fan boys jump through hoops just to win invites and have crazy stupid campaigns smashing up phones just in the hope of winning a chance to get a phone just isn't on.
I certainly ain't down for brown nosing just to get my hands on the phone.

Just clarify again, Vodafone and O2 will also use 800MHz heavily. Granted, their 4G plans are not as good as Three but it means you're limited to just EE or Three (urban only).
