At least the Note 3 comes with a stylus.
If anything the One+ launch really highlights the benefits of CyanogenMod, so the key is to find a more manageable phone and put Cyanogen on it, done and done.
Maybe because the product isn't final but from watching those phandroid videos I noticed the wake-up and hands-free voice control isn't up to Moto X's gold standard and although it boots/reboots quick it seems to be stuck on loading widgets.
What is the durability factor???
Durability wise I mean
My guess is, we won't know for a while.
I bet it will be similar to the Oppo Find 7
It doesn't really matter, it's not like they are sitting on millions of units of inventory. They make a few and sell a few, so what if it's outside of the release cycle of competitors.
"Ready now: 100 phones!!!!"
Congratulations on producing 100 phones in a multi-billion phone market.
Production Update:
When we started OnePlus, one of the first things we announced was that our product would be available internationally in Q2 2014. We're well on track of achieving that.
However, after our product announcement, we realized that far more people wanted the One than what we originally anticipated. Over the past few days, we have been frantically adjusting our production schedule to make sure that as many people possible can buy the One, as soon as possible.
In our updated plan, we prioritized for two aspects; time to market and availability of the high capacity model (in that order). We now know that people want the 64GB Sandstone Black far more than the 16GB Silk White, but we also know that more than everything, people just want to get their hands on the device as soon as possible.
What we've done is dramatically increase the amount of 64GB Sandstone Black models in our production plans, while producing 16GB Silk White as long as they don't delay the time to market for Sandstone Black.
Our production schedule is as follows:
Ready now - 100 for phone smashers
Mid to late May - Larger batch 16GB Silk White for the first batch of invites
Early June - Larger batch 64GB Sandstone Black
Later in June - Increased general availability, people who want it should be able to get an invite without much trouble in June

They need to sell a shit load of phones at $299-$349 to cover the cost and investment. Don't think this is a limited phone. It may take a few months but I suspect it will be widely available.
How bout just put it up on the Oppo website or wherever, and have an option to click and buy this, add to cart, and choose 24 hour shipping.
If they had inventory they would put it on Amazon and be done with it.
All the hype/rage aside, it will be interesting to see whether a newcomer to the field will be able to sell enough phones to recoup their investment since the margins are pretty damn thin. The S5 costs $250 to build just in parts, that's not counting the R&D and manufacturing facilities needed.
Makes me wonder whether the Chinese counterpart of the NSA is subsidizing the One+ and will listen in on everything you do.
From an interview with Carl Pei of OnePlus over at Android Authority:

What pricing strategy do you plan to adopt?
We will create the best product we possibly can first, and figure out sales and marketing second. We never set out to design a product to satisfy a certain price point.
However, because we’ll distribute our products solely via e-commerce, we can cut significant distribution and channel costs. And because our marketing will happen online, we can cut marketing costs. These factors allow us to bring greater value to our customers. We don’t make compromises on our product.
We want more people to be able to use and share our products, which is why we aren’t expecting to make a profit for two years.
LOL... for people who don't know...They are owned by oppo. Imo 1+ is going to be the Oppos N. American brand
