Invite only to generate hype as far as I can see.
Looks like an OK phone but not an amazing one.
Good its so cheap btw, can't fault them for that.

You can buy via ebay and other scalpers but they would be Chinese market units and have zero warranty. There is an issue with a yellow 'hue' at the bottom which some people have already mentioned and had replaced.

this company is going no-where fast.
their latest marketing ploy was to let women post photos of themselves and the 'hottest' photos would get an invite to buy the phone too

A new phone is only the fastest on the market until the next manufacturer releases their latest phone....

I was the hottest female they had.
Don't actually want a new phone and don't want stuck with one that I end up selling on eBay for a fiver.

I should get Dan to buy it with our Reddcoin fortune 
Do you wanna risk it? Surely its only known about to nerds, and the nerds will move onto another device next week when something slightly faster is released?

Normally I'm right into this stuff but the Nexus 5 is the first phone I've had that just does everything I want it to well.
Hmm. Invite lasts for a couple of days so I'll mull over it.
Mulled over it for 5 minutes, worst that can happen is I've wasted a bit of time getting a look at it I suppose.

Read more about this since I ordered it, not as good as it first seems (as always).
Seems to be very buggy and doesn't have wireless charging. Sounds like you're also pretty much on your own if you need an RMA with it taking weeks.

Opened this, it's massive. Makes the Nexus 5 look small.
Rubberised rough back thing feels good, phone seems pretty well built overall.
Letting it update and install everything to try it for a few days and see how it goes.

Going back.
Nicely built, screen is nice, good price/memory ratio, battery is also amazing, easy 2 days.
Too big and too buggy.
