Cancelled my OnePlus order. Think I'll go into O2 and get one in person as they seem to be getting stock again.
Picked one of these up from O2 yesterday, so far so good, really does seem like an excellent phone for the money.
One slight issue though, whenever I am charging the phone (with the supplied dash charger), I can feel a "tingling" electrical shock sensation when I touch the metal body of the phone. Does this happen with anybody elses unit? I'm guessing this is some kind of grounding issue...
Just wanted to see if this is typical behaviour before I go and try to exchange the phone.

No that sounds strange. No such sensation or feelings on mine when charging, none at all.
Yes happens to mine that tingly sensation. Doesn't bother me at all. I thought it was down to having a metal body . I'll see what happens to the pixel when I charge it.
EDIT - tried the OP3 with a slower charger and it doesn't tingle. So it seems to be down to the dash charger.

Tried this protector on the wifes OP3. More garbage. Takes off a good 2mm off the sides of the screen and the adhesive on the back wasn't uniform enough so I'm returning it. Yet to find a single decent protector for this thing.

From a well known tester Benson Leung (Google Engineer on the Pixel team), you'll find loads of his reviews on amazon.com

Yesh
Might have to look at films. The last time I used those, was during the iPhone 3G days from Invisible Shield.Yesh
Do you really need a screen protector mate? Wouldn't you rather enjoy the way the screen looks and feels without one?
Very helpful thank you....
Soldato
Oh I'd be perfectly fine without - if it was my own phone. Sadly it belongs to the wife and she can be clumsy, as she doesn't respect tech and gadgets!
Soldato
Do they do it sim free/payg? Their OP3 contracts look rubbish.
Same thing with my wife. But since the screen protectors just don't work well with 2.5D, a case is her only line of protection as plastic one take away the nice feel of glass.
Soldato
Yeah, I ordered the official OP3 gold flip case when I bought the phone and that is doing a good job of looking after the device so far. The screen still has that stock 'protector' on it, but it picks up grease and dirt like no mans business.

Are these in 02 shops to have a play around with?
The OP3 is literally the standout phone for me this year - gets almost everything right for a bargain of a price.
For anyone that hasn't done so try the below - made the OP3 even better for me.
