Actually found this;

No duty is payable on goods imported for personal use, if it is marked as “made in Canada, the USA, or Mexico”, or if there is no marking or labelling indicating that it was made somewhere other than Canada, the USA, or Mexico.

The OPO is made in China. I don't think its included in the exempted goods.

How often do you guys use NFC?

Got extra invite expired in 6am tomorrow
PM your email address if you need one

So in case anybody needs a random no-name screen protector to use while their tempered glass protector takes its sweet time shipping from overseas. After looking around nearly every chinese mall in Richmond and Crystal Mall, I finally found a shop @ Admiralty Centre in Richmond that carries them.

The name of the shop, I don't recall. However it's the one that has stacks and stacks of cases throughout the unit. This place has cases for most phones lol.

They also carry the typical transparent cases for the OPO.

For me? Never.

How are you liking(or hating) the baby white? Its quite slippery compared to the sandstone. And you need to keep cleaning it compared to the sandstone in order to not stain the white.

I use it on a very very limited time. But I use it with a case so I don't really notice. However it doesn't feel really slippery since the back is curve so it feels pretty solid in my hands. It does feel very smooth though. I didn't get the sandstone because some ppl say after using it for awhile the sandstone material starts to come off... not sure if this is true though.

Flaws with the sandstone backing. It can either wear down and become shiny/smooth. Or it can peel off from the base plastic.

OnePlus has announced that the OnePlus One will be available for pre-order without invites beginning next Monday, October 27 at 11:00AM EST. This system has been a long time in the coming, after months and months of increasingly convoluted invite systems. Now, interested customers will be able to simply place a pre-order and get the device.

A bit too late... well I guess ppl who waited for the Nexus 6 might consider picking up this phone now.

Pre-order doesnt replace invite system though. They will still be giving out invites and invites will have priority over pre-orders. When they have excess stock, they can fulfill pre-order orders. If you have an invite, you can skip the pre-order line up. At least thats what they announced at the beginning, not sure if they changed it up.

Maybe this will shut up the people that cant spend 5 minutes on social media or the official forums in order to get an invite. Lately there have been an excess amount of invites given out, no excuse to all the people bashing the company only because they can't get an invite.

I had my second sighting of an OPO this morning as well. On the skytrain, saw a guy with the phone, no glass or plastic screen protector, no case. Brave soul.

People are just used to paying and getting what they want. As they should of course... They are selling a product and people with money at hand aren't able to get it. That's a major problem

Let's read the full article:
OnePlus announced on Monday that, starting on Oct. 27, interested parties will finally be able to pre-order the OnePlus One smartphone. That means, for a limited time, customers won’t need to rely on the current invitation system.

Here’s what the company said on Monday:

Pre-orders will officially open on October 27 at 15:00 GMT (08:00 PST, 11:00 EST). During a one hour time window (emphasis ours), anyone can place an order for the OnePlus One. All of our accessories will be sold at celebratory sale prices when added to your order. In fact, for this week only our latest collaboration the JBL E1+ Earphones will be available for $24.99 and will revert back to full price once pre-orders have ended.

Starting today, interested parties can configure a cart with the OnePlus model they would like to purchase, and it will be saved for Oct. 27 when pre-orders open. You’ll probably need to act fast, though, since OnePlus recently ran out of 20,000 OnePlus One invitations in a matter of minutes. May the force be with you.
OnePlus One Pre-Orders Start on Oct. 27... For Just One Hour | TechnoBuffalo
Not sure if that means pre order are only for 1 hour. If that's the case good luck even trying to place your order.

Anyone getting random tearing on their screen?

Gets worse when camera is open / snapchat

que?

Anyone have troubles with Google voice? Keeps saying I'm located in Toronto.

i get that from time to time as well as some flickering of the screen. reboot of the phone fixes the issue. I've submited a tech support ticket to oneplus one about that issue and my audio issue.

lets see how long they take to respond to me

Fine for me. That is typically a cellular network issue.

Finally got my pelosi case! Feels just like the sandstonr back but blacker. Nice and thin. Has a small lip to it so it should be nice and flush once I get the orzly glass in
