This phone is meant to people that don't need tech support and will be DIY

Agree, but parts aren't easy to come by. You basically have to contact oneplus if any issues even if you want to replace the parts yourself like a cracked screen.DealCanuck wrote: ↑This phone is meant to people that don't need tech support and will be DIY

Hey, the moment something goes wrong with their phone and can't get RMA, I am sure TripleHelix will be on the other side bashing the company for the lack of customer service.

yep, i have to agree with you on this.DealCanuck wrote: ↑This phone is meant to people that don't need tech support and will be DIY
I have a Nexus 4 and wow, I can't keep track of the number of times its reboot itself, crashed, or had just bizarre things happen.
I've never called google for tech support.
I still love it though! why? I'm willing to put up with it because I paid a great price !
but I would never recommend such a phone for certain people, such as my aunt, who would have a heart attack every time something strange happened, lol

Until that happens, I guess we will never know! I am hopeful this will not happen though. Great device as of now and I am eagerly awaiting CM12b166er1337 wrote: ↑Hey, the moment something goes wrong with their phone and can't get RMA, I am sure TripleHelix will be on the other side bashing the company for the lack of customer service.

Edit has been removed by the Mod. Thanks bi66er1337.
Order has been restored. Feel free to clean up all my posts in the thread which have nothing to do with the deal.

This is no longer about bashing the company. It's about the mod abusing his ability to hijack OP and creating a biased view in the OP.b166er1337 wrote: ↑Hey, the moment something goes wrong with their phone and can't get RMA, I am sure TripleHelix will be on the other side bashing the company for the lack of customer service.
I bought 2 OPOs and both are working great. I'm happy that I have no issues with both phones. Every manufacturer will have issues. Some will deal with it better than others. Oneplus is a new company (operating separately from OPPO) so they will have processes that require fine tuning. Rather making the impression that Oneplus is going to abandon you after you buy the phone, it should be indicated that their customer services is not on par with a more established vendor. There are customers reporting they have received good service. Therefore, creating an impression that you are SOL if you buy from Oneplus is extremely biased.
I don't know why bothered comparing the N5 to the OPO. I was speaking from actual user experience (N5, OPO, and Iphone 6). When an iphone 6 users says the OPO is like a plastic toy compared to the iphone 6, they obviously are not speaking from experience. Rather just speaking from assumptions. Please do not listen to reviews based on assumptions or people reading stuff off the internet. Reading things off the internet is one thing. Actually using the devices on a day to day bases is another.

The issue is that there are two sides of the argument but the Mod is only presenting one. It's a biased edit because the Mod took one side but failed to present the other.
That and also you rarely see mods edit an OP for a discussion point. I've seen plenty of threads with grey-market game keys on sale but no mods ever bother to edit the OP to say the keys might get your steam account banned.
To summarize why people take issue with this mod's edit:
1. It's not a fair presentation (biased opinions posted)
2. It's not across the board (doesn't happen to other deals)

it was out of line for the mod considering his bias.
re-edit the OP as it originally were and move on
i have had 5 smart phones from many manufacturers and have never had to do an RMA or even request a customer service. i highly doubt i will be doing that with my OPO as there are no issues with it.
i feel like there are the same few sour apples that go into every OPO thread thrashing it. hell, you have one guy admitting to not even owning an OPO and is negatively commenting against the company/phone

I don't wanna sound like a dick but who cracks screens these days? Of my friends, it's all the technically-disinclined. Get a case and take care of your phone. I've never cracked a screen in 9+ years of having smartphones and I do drop it semi-frequently. Get a case.
This phone is money, so money it doesn't even know how money it is. Easily the best value on the market. I absolutely love my phone.

Wow so much hate in this thread. And lol @ mod editing the OP.
I've had my OPO for 4 months now and personally and not a single issue. The quality of the product is hands down one of the best smart phones I've used. I'm sure all companies will ocassiobally have issues with any of their products. Ignore the biased opinions online. There r bad reviews and comments for any companies out there. And for the price of this phone, there r not many out there that could compete.
All the "stay away from unknown Chinese companies" comments r ignorant. OPO and xiaomi are right up there in terms of quality if not better. OPO is only getting bigger and their CS is improving more and more everyday. Few of my buddies also have this phone and funny how none of them have any issues with it either.

The issue is less folks saying the level of quality isn't up to snuff; the issue is more that if you do have an issue or get a problematic unit like I have, unlike a bigger brand with actual customer service, warranty, support etc, You're out of luck.

I just ordered a 64 after hearing lots of positive feedback from friends. Took a gamble on the shipping went with the more expensive USPS and hoping I don't get charged the full $60 as others were saying in the OPO forums. I also hesitated a couple times before clicking buy but it's such a low priced phone and the reviews are generally pretty great.
