basically its a lot of phone for the money, even the new higher price.
Look at the specs and build quality and then the price, if you still don't get it you probably don't belong here.
Could someone who went for the free delivery option post up the route the phone takes?! Mine is currently in Poland...
I have no idea and neither will other users, no way to track until Royal Mail have scanned them.
Hope it develops a fault in the PayPal returns window because if not you never hear from them. My (and others) experience with them hasn't been good.
It's a great phone if it doesn't develop any faults. But after my experience. Never again

They paused the update as they found something wrong with it.
I don't think they have resumed the OTA yet.
Some people had bootloops or something similar. No issues here tho.
So I got mine on Monday and I've had a few days to play around with it.
Coming from an IP6 I'm relatively happy with it. I don't feel limited in anything I can do and it seems responsive enough. A couple of niggles however...
One Plus launcher isn't responding. Phone screen goes black and nothing works. I've had this three times since Monday, thats more crashes than I've had in two years on my IP6.
The screen seems to tinge blue when angled anywhere but directly towards me. If it's lying flat on a desk for example it's not the warm white which I get when holding it in my hand.
Why the hell are apps like WhatsApp so big?? The keyboard takes up half the screen, the header takes up another inch which leaves only about 1/4 of the screen for actually displaying messages? This is REALLY annoying, is there anything I can do? Do I really need to start messing around with developer options to just makes things a little more minimalistic?

Tinge is due to OLED screen. My Nexus 6 does it too. I only really notice it on anything with lots of empty white space.
Nova launcher is what I use as it has more features, no had any issues. I literally have not have a single app crash in the 2 weeks I've had the phone.
If you have good eye sight then you can lower the dpi. This can be done without root. I've lowered it from 480 to 400 and you get much more space onscreen. I posted the method a few pages back.

You could switch the the Swiftkey keyboard. This has resize options.

Pretty sure Google keyboard has a keyboard height option also. Just have a look in the settings.

Resurrection Remix + blu_spark kernel are running pretty sweet, only a few things not working at the mo (notification slider, screen-off gestures).

Got my full coverage screen protectors today. They actually fit very well indeed, with only a minimal amount of bubbling at the edges. The cut is absolutely perfect though and the entire front of the screen is covered. Any bubbling is well of the screen, which looks perfect.
Edit: here they are.
