I got Glass

Hey everyone, I picked up Glass a little while back. I have to say, it's a very interesting product. If anyone is curious what the unboxing is like (with pictures), I started a blog.
Also, I have 14 days to hand out three invites. If anyone is interested, PM me, but only if you're honestly and seriously interested in purchasing. I just don't want a code to go to waste

[Announcement] Week 49: Get ready, India. We are coming
VikasAdministratorStaff Member
Hello everyone,
It always feels great to bring smiles to our ardent followers. We appreciate the positive feedback received on our previous week’s announcement. This week we have even bigger and better news to share - something that everyone has been waiting patiently to hear.
Firstly, we are thrilled to confirm that the One will be available for our Indian users in December. We can’t wait to bring your favourite phone to your hands. As all the details have now been perfected and last-mile hurdles have been cleared, the exact launch date will soon be announced in the coming days on our forums.
As announced earlier, the product will be exclusively available through our e-commerce partner for users who have a valid India-specific invite. This is to ensure that all of our fans across India can easily buy the product online or through a mobile app without having to worry about payments, logistics or support.
The other key element that everyone has been waiting for is price. While we obviously can’t share the price at the moment, I can confidently suggest that it is priced at a very competitive price point.
Secondly, we have recently launched a contest to win India specific invites in celebration of our first anniversary. We are totally impressed with the enthusiasm and creative talent of our Indian fans. To our passionate fans, thanks once again and a sincere request to share your entries on your favorite platforms as well to spread the love. Today is the last day of our very first*India specific contest and you can still submit your entry here*by 10.30 PM today if you have not participated yet.
In case, you were not able to participate or did not win the coveted invite this time, don’t worry this is just the beginning and we have many more surprises up our sleeves in coming days. But for now, we’d like to thank all the participants and congratulate lucky winners who will get an opportunity to own the mighty One very soon.
How soon? Well, sooner than most people expect. We pride ourselves in positively surprisingly our fans and this time will be no exception.
Lastly, we have few other smaller yet important good news to share. The Indian team is set to expand as we have narrowed down our search to handful of individuals and will hopefully have them on-board very soon. In addition, we will be moving to our first local office next month. Recently, we also crossed*5,000 likes on our Facebook page*in less than a month. Do join us on Facebook in case you have not already done so.
We are excited to work together with you as we move forward. Keep watching this space for more updates as we will be back very soon. As always, your feedback and suggestions are welcome.
Never Settle.

OnePlus marketing strategy? (Anyone interested on being interviewed?)

Hey Guys!
I am writing dissertation about OnePlus marketing and their marketing strategy. My research is focused on consumer decision making process, the tipping point theory (invitational model of oneplus) and I am looking 3-5 people to interview. It doesn’t matter if you love or hate your OnePlus, all feedback is appreciated.
I am conducting the interviews on skype (only voice, no need for video communication), or if you are in Barcelona I can also meet you. I have no rewards to give to the participants, except the change for us to network and who knows in future do business together.
If anyone of you would be interested on having a quick chat on OnePlus, I would highly appreciate it. Also all the feedback about OnePlus and their marketing is highly appreciated.
With best regards,
Allar
( I used visit xda actively during my HTC Diamond and Touch Pro 2 days, but haven’t been here in a while, below my own phone history to those who are interested )
(Nokia 3310, Samsung sgh-e300, Nokia N80, HTC Diamond, HTC Touch Pro 2, Samsung Galaxy Note, Huawei U8350, HTC One, LG G3, Jiayu S3 and currently Motorola Moto X 2nd generation. )
I'd be willing to be a participant.. Pm me with details..

I can't do the Skype but please see my experience with OnePlus service below:
I have recently ordered several One Plus Two accessories from OnePlus. They sent the wrong items in the two packages that I ordered. I called their Help Line and had to wait for half an hour for someone to pick up the call. I also tried the Online Chat and my number was simply skipped over.
When someone from the OnePlus Support Line eventually answered my call, I was told to send photos and my issue would be given high priority. A ticket was opened for me and I replied with photos attached. No reply after a day so I called again and was told that my issue has now been given top priority and was asked to wait for 48 hrs for reply. After 36 hrs, there was still no reply so I called again and was told they couldn't get through to their logistic department.
As I needed to use the item immediately on my new phone, I re-ordered the item that was not sent in the original package while waiting for OnePlus to sort out the problem. That item was issued with a tracking number that Royal Mail (post office in the UK) can't recognise with the comment that it's a wrong number. I called the OnePlus Support Line and was told she couldn't get through to the Logistic Department but Royal Mail can't track item less than 500g. I then called Royal Mail and was told that items less than 500g CAN be tracked.
OnePlus then replied to my ticket to ask me to post photos again and showed me photos examples of DHL packaging with the delivery note. The thing is, Royal Mail packaging is different and it doesn't have delivery note. I can't produce the DHL package and delivery slip when they sent the items to me by Royal Mail.
Really terrible service. They have no idea how to provide service to developed countries. I have yet to use my new One Plus Two phone. I am waiting for the accessory (that never arrived) to start using my phone. Having read a few comments about phone defects, and with my own experiences of their terrible services, I am really worried if my phone is not working well.
If you have problem and require their service, you have to prove that they made the mistake before they will rectify it. The Support Line is very hard to get through. The instructions on the ticket are also not entirely clear. Expect a 3rd world service if you are from developed countries. Like the justice system in China, they have to be proved wrong, and wait for a long trial, before you get your justice.
Thank you for the interest!
Thanks for the increase and thanks also for the negative feedback. All feedback/experiences are welcome.
I am still looking for 1-2 people to interview. If you are interested send me a message or post here.
With best regards
Allar
Hi! I would be interested as well. Although my vocabulary is not that strong but i'm sure we would be able to have a good conversation. Hit me with the timings and details.

Im willing to participate and help you with your marketing dissertation, I'm currently completing my marketing minor for my degree, and would love to dissect Oneplus' Marketing strategy as well, i find it very interesting.
Unfortunately Im in the U.S., so Skype might be difficult, but PM me if you need another participant, maybe Hangouts could work.
Best of luck with your study and research
