Any OnePlus sightings in the wild?

Since I received my OnePlus a few weeks ago, I have been looking out for other OnePlus out in the wild. Here in NYC, if you look around the subway, you can see virtually everything.

Today I was at Rattle and Hum and a dude sat next to me and plopped his OnePlus on the bar. "What phone is that?" pretty sure of the answer but not confident. I could tell in a moment that my suspicions were confirmed when his answer involved some stuttering and a preamble, something I have noticed that I do when am asked the question about this device. My first OPO sighting. He was equally surprised to have met another OPO user. It was also a cool experience because we knew nothing about each other but he was extremely knowledgeable and we spoke the same Android dialect, referencing ART, Franco, nightlies, etc, with full understanding, an experience I have not had before even with my friends.

Has anyone else seen them out in the wild?

I saw a guy at IKEA with it. However he was in the middle of a phone call so I didn't think it was worth it to bother him. I did pull out my OP and with one hand held it up and the other hand gave him a thumbs up and he smiled and nodded.

Coworker got the oneplus a week before I did. Brought it to me so I could fondle it. Haven't seen one in the wild since.

Same here, my co-worker managed to get one a week ahead of me. I laughed at the situation because I showed him the phone. He won an invite contest and I just ordered mine...

I work in a tall office building in Toronto and was talking about my OPO in the elevator with some co-workers. The elevator stopped at a floor (not ours), a person got out and as he walked away he turned around and flashed the same 64GB OPO at me.. I think I said "hey nice!!" and then he was gone, lol..

That's pretty funny. I'm gonna keep an eye out for the OPO in Toronto.

Well I got my sister to buy one if that counts. But the next best thing is my girlfriend's brother who spent all summer in China and came back with one. Never talked to him or anything. I guess thats pretty cool.

I work in the tech triangle of southern ontario. My phone has gotten recognized a number of times.

At my company (a telco), many people already knew about the phone and wanted to try it out to see what it felt like. I don't think I'll have enough invites to quell the demand.

I live in SC so I'll probably never see another, as I haven't seen ANY yet. Not even a Nexus 5 or an HTC One M8.

I'm in Manhattan every day. Haven't seen one. The T-Mobile girl didn't even realize what brand the phone was until I asked her if this was the first OnePlus she activated. She also didn't know what it was =(

I haven't seen any in Toronto yet. A guy I saw at work had a Nexus 5 but didn't know about the OnePlus One. That surprised me a little. Then again, very few people know about it.

No sightings. But I have had multiple people ask me what kind of phone I had.

I used to live in New York which is where i would expect more sightings, but now i live in Ohio so yeah gonna take me a while to find a wild OPO user.

From around the Toronto area in Canada, haven't noticed anything. Although I do get the odd compliment or two on my phone.

Sidebar: It has a really ugly OPO screen protector on it though, thinking of upgrading to one by Nilkin later down the road.

I'm in Toronto too and I haven't seen one yet.

I work at an amusement park in Missouri, seeing thousands of people a day, and each day I've been hoping to see someone with a OPO so I can at least fondle the phone, since I'd probably get yelled at for using it if a supervisor or manager saw it. Never once have I seen a OPO in the wild. But I'm gonna keep on looking.

I mostly see people with the iPhone 5/S/C, followed by people with the Galaxy S4, with the S5 gradually rising. I actually find myself going through my day mainly paying attention to what phones people have when I'm not running the ride. . If I ever randomly strike a conversation with a guest, it's either about their band shirt, Pokemon/anime shirt, or their phone.

I'm an ex-ride operator myself, what kind of rides do you do?

Smaller rides, a carousel and two other Spinny rides. I have gotten trained at a couple of the major coasters in the park, and I'm massively jealous and want to be at them permanently for the rest of the season. I mean, I'd prefer to just be done there, but college needs money.

No Samsung Note users?

I mean it's not like I don't see any, it's just not too common. I see plenty of HTC Ones and M8s, I've seen a couple LG G2 and a handful of G3s. Sony devices are also pretty hard to come by. I've actually seen a GPE Sony Z Ultra. Also there have been some Nexus 5 owners, and a handful of Galaxy Mega 6.3s.

But the vast majority I've seen are iPhones and Galaxy S devices.

My friend's uncle in China had one. White 64GB version. Was kinda surprised when I saw it.

could have just changed the back

1

No in China they sell the 64gb in white. I was surprised because someone I saw had a OPO

ah ok, misunderstood. I've only seen one person and was surprised too :)

So he took his opo out and asked what phone yours was?

He set it down and I asked him what it was. It's a pretty dark bar, so I couldn't tell immediately.

None in Raleigh.

Doubt it. I had a nexus 5 for almost a year and only saw one of them.
