[ONE General] LiquidSolstice:
..can not "afford a bigger number". Right. That's why general availability will be coming for the 16GB immediately in May, and full scale availability for the 64 will be in June. Because they can't afford it. What a foolish statement. It's a hundred phones because it's the initial batch to peak people's interest and kick off the invitation system. Anyone with any level of intelligence can see that.

Amazing! You must have taken every single other avenue that exists out there to bring awareness to the issue of electronic waste to have arrived at this one! Right?

...are you....sane? No, you're not "suppose[sic]" to do anything. No one is forcing you to do anything. Allow me to propose to you a RADICAL and AMAZING idea, one that most likely has not entered your head yet because you've got the blinders of outrage strapped to your face. Don't. Smash. Your. Phone. Don't do it! If you want the phone, wait until you can pay the normal price, and then recycle your old phone, and that's that, isn't it? Have I utterly blown your mind yet?

Right, so do you also demonize people who accidentally break their phones, people who have phones which die, people who buy new phones because their old ones are out of date, people who buy new batteries for their phones, people who get their phones fixed at cellphone repair stores (who may or many not recycle)? Do you get mad at them too? No, you probably don't, because that would require you to be consistent.

Yes, I'm sure that's one OnePlus's intention was all along. Not to build a phone and sell it or anything. Not to attract any sort of attention to the device, no, secretly, they're all anti-environment and they want to punish the environment by concocting an evil plan in which they will FORCE people to destroy their phones and pollute th--wait, no, that's not how it is at all and you just want it to be out of your own bias.

What an idiotic, uninformed statement. You think Samsung, because it is large, generates less environmental damage? Do you have any idea how much pollution, in toxins, liquid, an e-waste Foxconn generates on a daily basis? People DIE daily in their factories from inhaling chemicals and drinking water from the area. The social, economical, environmental, and mental damage done by large companies like Samsung in their manufacturing plants TOWERS over 100 people hitting their phones with a hammer. Choosing not to partake in an entirely voluntary marketing scheme where only 100 people smash their phones (and most will probably still be recycled) is NOT the same as a multi-billion dollar company stamping out hundreds of thousands of smartphones every day.

So why is this particular individual not refusing to buy or use anything from any company that contributes to the destruction of the Earth? Oh, that's right, because environmentalism is only a topic of discussion when it's convenient for you. You love the idea of "protecting the Earth" but you wouldn't let it get in the way of you enjoying your next mobile device. :)

What a load of bull. You'd be supportive of that because it would be cheap for you, not because of your pseudo-philanthropic claims of wanting to save the environment.

If you cared so much, you'd donate your phone to the Chinese who can't afford it, and you'd do it WITHOUT needing to be bribed by a new $1 smartphone.
