[ONE General] dmarden:
Got my OnePlus One yesterday... here's a poorly organized list of review points.

I was initially very concerned about getting it setup properly based on reading about the troubles of AT&T LTE when you're coming from another carrier. The guy at the local AT&T shop had never heard of the One before, but he knew exactly what he needed to do and took care of it without issue. Truthfully the biggest point of confusion was that the SIM holder is sort of upside down, lol.

Aaaanyway. As soon as I got home I unlocked the bootloader, installed custom recovery, and rooted. Just sticking with 11S for now though.

I won't post a zillion pictures, everyone else has already done that. If there is some picture I can offer that has value, let me know and I will do so.

The phone is beautiful... I disagree with those who say the small metal looking band between the screen and body looks cheap. I actually think it's a very nice simple look that lots of people have already commented on when they see it. The sandstone back cover is really cool and fun to hold. I'll feel badly covering it up with a case.

The phone is well balanced but it is definitely a bit tall. I am getting used to using it with one hand, though. I tend to hold it with my pinky under the charge port (which is also upside down for no reason, lol) so the top right is easy enough to reach but the top left is a bit tough... but I am getting used to it.

The bottom speakers are great. I won't pretend they sound like my home theater system, but they are loud and clear... which is what I want. I don't sit there and rock out to my speakerphone.

The screen is great. I definitely get the warm profile/settings thing... and actually, if you watch closely as 11S loads you can see where it switches from the colder coloring to the warmer when the profile is loading (I guess). I played with the settings and bit and I can get it looking more true white-ish, but I actually like the way they configured it to be honest... at least as far as the last 12 hours go.

Yes, I see A LITTLE of what I think people are referring to as the yellow band at the very very very bottom. If I use on screen controls, I cannot see it at all. If I use the h/w buttons, then I can see it IF I struggle and have something white on the screen... I think. I think I see it. Honestly, at least for my device, it's such a non issue that I feel silly for mentioning it. I only do so because I know it is a hot issue right now.

The phone is very very fast. I loaded up all of my apps. Restored data (via Titanium) for a select few that I thought I had to, setup the rest from scratch. No lag, no crashes, just really smooth and fast performance.

Aside from Twitter and various messaging apps, I probably use Bluetooth more than anything... I am commonly streaming. To my car, to a stereo out on the deck with friends, to a headset at the gym. Lots of bluetooth. On my past 2 devices (a Galaxy S4 and a Galaxy Nexus before that) I would get little cutouts here and there (not often enough to be a problem)... or in my car if I hit "next" on a song in Slacker or Google Music too fast I'd get outright disconnected. So far, I've had none of that... and I tried. I tried to break it so I knew what to expect and it just performed amazingly.

Reception has been good, LTE has been fast, though typically I am on wifi. The 802.11ac connection has been strong and stable (unlike on my S4 where I just stuck with 802.11n because ac wasn't stable enough).

The included Hexo theme for 11S is nice. Simple and clean. I may or may not go back to Flux eventually... I like to change it up regularly.

LED works great with Light Flow.

I took exactly one picture and it was of my wife so I won't post it here, lol... I'll test out the camera more and follow-up later.

So far, though... I really cannot say enough good about the device, I really like it.
