One Plus One shop to open

[Cleoriff]

There has been a lot of discussion about this phone recently. Here is how to avoid having to wait for an invite...

Mind you... it will involve a flight to China .....so probably not so cheap then

Off to China anytime soon then?.... I expect they will be the first outlet to sell the One Plus Two

Not likely.
I've just passed over a trip to China and India - not really interested in World travel anymore..... I did them all when I was younger so can say "been there - done that"

Hmmm wonder if they'll do a postal service from the shop 😉

Very good find @Cleoriff 

I'd really like to hang on for the One Plus Two, but I've read a few other articles that have said it could be Q2 of 2015 before it's released. Even then, if the One's release was anything to go by, there's no guarantee it will be will be widely available. It would become a very expensive purchase if it had to include a trip to China to get it.

I know @Bambino  I really fail to understand why this phone is so exclusive. I have read very good reviews about it but surely restricting it to invite only or purchase from China, limits its chances of becoming a really popular device.?

It wouldn't be the marketing strategy I used if honest..

I believe they're a very small company. I don't think that selling the phone by invite only at the outset was a bad idea. It certainly created a great deal of interest, and a 'must have' mentality for many people. I'm hoping that they've grown enough and have raised enough capital now to move away from that business model, and start selling the next generation phone in a more normal way, once they announce the release.

I'm sure they will. It was rather a unique sales strategy that will have generated a lot of interest.
