This thing is gonna be sick. $299 for the 16gb version, $349 for the 64gb. OnePlus One is the maker, the phone will opperate off a new Cyanogen mode that was created specifically for this phone. It's going to have some of the fastest processing power of any phone out there and the camera on it is pretty sick. The whole thing is going to be (or should be) pretty awesome.

Looks pretty impressive really!

I managed to break my Nexus 5 last week actually (well, cracked the screen and for the difference between a new sandwich and a new phone am just replacing it) and kinda wish I waited if that's out for June. I'll still do something with the old one and am more than happy with the LG build in general but probably will hold off on an 'upgrade' for a couple of years now.

I'm not upset over the no SD slot, 64gb is plenty of space imo and at only $50 more (which is ridiculously awesome) it's a no brainer to get it.

I'm still in awe at just how good this device is from all the reviews. They are calling it the flagship killer, it's the first phone I've seen to claim that, that may actually be capable of doing it.

Hopefully the phone is very successful and makes others like samsung and apple stop marking up their phones by 200%.

If Google's Nexus phones hasn't stopped Samsung and Apple from price gouging, this one won't either. I doubt it even gets as much publicity/notice as the Nexus phones.

For these phones to really make an impact, it's going to require the majority of people to be on service plans that don't subsidize phone costs. As it stands, most people look at this or the Nexus 5 at a $350 price point and don't even consider it compared to a $199 iPhone or Samsung phone that is subsidized for them.

The phone looks cool but the artist dude passionately drawing slightly curved rectangles was a bit much.

Haha. I've been following this phone for awhile. Was actually coming here to post it today. If they deliver on their promises this thing will rock the market. Its impressive and combines the best elements of both Apple(industrial design) and android (os). Really looking forward to it

annnnd on all that random note- I took the plung and converted all my lines to the MORE everything plan, ordered via EDGE a new blackberry Q10 as I really still desire a keyboard. Sold my Z10 on ebay to cover the ETF of my 3rd line- while calling to terminate that line the cs rep told me just to make the line a standard phone line for 10$ and ride it out (nice of him! lol) but the everything plan standard phones are 30..so he was like "suspend the service *3 months at a time, up to 6mo-extending the contract date but you also dont pay for it" - get a tablet or other connected verizon device and swap that line to that "10/5$ monthly" and then ride out the contract.

Q10 is being overnighted and on the EDGE plan I should be ready to get the Q20/Classic should I desire that and my wife is free now to get the new iphone 6 or whatever she wants...and we will be paying 75$ less per month now :) but only 10gb of data between us...oh well I will actually turn on my wifi

It's not my speed (HTC has me sold for life at this point) - but being that I've got a ton of friends and family that pinch pennies, it does look quite impressive however for them. But as Lenaldo states being that they're an unknown right now, it will be interesting to see how they follow up on their promises - hopefully they do, but we'll see for sure.

Lol that's awesome!!! the problem is, I'm not smashing my iPhone, seeing as I could sell it for 500-600 hundred bucks.

It would be easy to just get a crap phone to smash in place of your normal one you use.

I have a z10 dev device that I used for a bit but can't seem to sell locally. It may only be worth $150, so if I end up getting picked (I know I won't) - that's what I'll be smashing.

Just sold my Z10 on ebay to do the above mentioned swaps etc and get a Q10 - you could get as you said 100+ on the crackberry forums for the dev device fairly easy.

I wouldn't smash my note 3 for it but I'd smash my old original Evo I still have!
