Got mine today (a little concerned the postie left it in the unlocked porch but luckily it didn't go missing).
Haven't really had much time with it, but so far so good, screen seems very good, nice bright clear colours. Other than the phone being ultra slippery it seem very well built.
Just need to find a case and wait for my glass screen protector to arrive now (oh and get my SIM cut to fit!)

Me and my dad both ordered one without telling each other. I ordered mine on Thursday 16th and it hasn't been sent yet (probably since I also have a cover and stuff). Estimated postage date is next Wednesday 22nd.
My dad ordered it ~24/48 hours before with no cover. Est. dispatch date was today (19th) but it arrived today. It was sent on the 16th. If you want the exact order date of my dad's order than tell me and I'll ask him.

Thanks for the info, much appreciated. Looks like I'll get it by the end of next week. Doh!

Shipping was to Malta, so shipping time might be a bit less for UK.
Charging is great. From 1% to 100% in exactly 59 minutes, and I was pretty much using the phone all the time (downloading stuff, messenger etc.) via WiFi. Brightness is set quite low since I am at home in a dark-ish room, but still very good.

Does this have a RGB AMOLED?
It's a pentile amoled however it's a totally different gen panel to the horrible old pentile panels Samsung used to churn out. Gotta be honest, the colours are punchy, it's sharp, defined and damned beautiful. Always used to hate pentile matrix displays but this one's spot on.
If I get one I'm definitely going to get one of these skins : https://dbrand.com/shop/oneplus-3-skins

I think this RAM bug is being blown out of all proportion. In day to day use, you probably won't notice it. Nobody can say they bought a OP3 thinking it would be bug free. If that's all that's wrong with it, they've done very well imho.
In all honesty, thanks to the bezels on the OP3 being really super slim, i didnt really feel a difference in size with the exception of the OP3 feeling thinner in the hand. (and a lot less slippy than the s6!).
Its only marginally bigger and still quite one handable
At the moment, its only an issue for people that like to fast switch between multiple apps and heavily multitask.
It just seems to be griping most people just out of principle really.
It didnt faze me for the first couple of hours use at all but i applied the patch anyway for future use.
its no Bendgate or Antennagate, just something that will eventually get fixed and forgotten.
The main issue is that OnePlus went on about the 6GB of RAM just to deliberately limit the usefulness of it.
Out of principle exactly. It's not a bug. According to the designer it's deliberate. In that case you ask: "Why would such a choice be "needed?"" Apparently it's so that the battery lasts longer. By that sense the battery size has deemed the amount of RAM useless, effectively shooting a unique selling point in the foot. Of course this could all have been remedied by having a bigger battery installed.
Nevertheless, I wouldn't expect more use of operational RAM to cost hardly anything electrically.
The designer seems pretty smug about telling consumers that applying the memory fix is only a small part of rectifying the 6GB issue.
Seems strange and makes me wonder what is really going.
Aside from that I actually want this phone more so than the others available right now.

I'm a bit tired of my LG G4 and very tempted with this. It certainly ticks all my boxes. Only question is whether it's better to wait for the 2016 Nexus's or not...

Can anyone explain what the RAM problem is please. Thanks.
The OS limits the amount of RAM suspended apps can occupy. This may cause opened background apps to reload from storage.
In the real world it's not an actual problem to be honest. The limit is reasonable. This is why I believe Aikon359 is right in saying that people are annoyed about it out of principle:

No one is really going to use their phone in the way that it is used in the video. Under normal usage conditions just about nothing can touch the speed of this phone for the focussed app.
