[wplug] OnePlus One invitation

[Justin Smith]

I have a couple of invitations to buy the 64GB OnePlus One. Would anyone 
on here like one?

If you don't know what I'm talking about, the OnePlus One is an Android 
smartphone produced by a Chinese startup called OnePlus, which is sort of 
an offshoot of Oppo, which makes sound equipment.

The OnePlus One has nearly identical specs to flagship Android devices 
such as the HTC One and Galaxy S5 but costs less than half the price. 
Instead of coming with some themed variant of Android, it comes with 
CyanogenMod 11S, a special variant of CyanogenMod that is officially 
supported by Cyanogen, Inc. It's guaranteed to receive updates for at 
least two years.

I've had a OnePlus One for a couple of months now, and my feedback is 
mostly positive. There are only a few drawbacks:

- The reception is a bit weak. This is a known issue that may or may not be 
improved in the future.
- The screen can be a bit dim in direct sunlight, although the newest 
screen adaptation features added to CyanogenMod 11S helped with this.
- Vibration is a bit noisy and weak. 

Other than that, it's smooth sailing. It has more processing power and 
storage space than I'll ever need. It works on T-Mobile (which I use) and 
AT&T.

I have three invitations. If you want one, let me know.
