£229, premium spec, and *drumroll* ships with Cyanogen out of the box.
Innnnnteresting.
"Invitations" to buy one
I was interested until I read that, now I just feel grumpy
Dammit 5.5" is too big. Why can't they or Google produce a 4" replacement for the nexus 4?!
64GB for only an extra £40?
Innnntterressstting.
However, not sure I would take a risk on something so new and unproven to the market.

Looks quite good, the cyanogen thing is interesting.

Surely the screen on that is bigger than 5.5"?

...including this nugget:
What's more, OnePlus took one step further and applied corresponding textures onto the back of the "silk white" and "sandstone black" versions. The white one is our favorite, as its special coating -- apparently made out of powdered cashew nuts -- gives a "baby skin" feel, which is most noticeable when you gently stroke it with your cheek.
I do hope that is the bottom dropping out of the high end mobile phone market, I can hear.
Cashew nuts? I was so hoping for macadamias...

Man phone.
....aaaaand I'm oot. Apparently no 4G-LTE band 20 support, so you're semi-bolloxed if you're on O2, Vodafone or 3. Seems odd to launch in Europe, and not cover all your bases.
