OnePlus 2 Arriving Next Weekend in "Aggressive Invite Rollout"

Posted: 28 Aug 2015 04:57 AM PDT

OnePlus makes fantastic smartphones, but the company's invite system to purchase one is frustrating. It is a model that has sort of worked (the OnePlus One was a sales success), but we can't help but think the company would sell a lot more if it opened up sales. Cost cutting is the reason for the invite system, but OnePlus says it has finally cracked how to get this sales model right and soon and "aggressive invite rollout" will happen.

Amazon Fire Phone now just $130 with Free Prime Subscription

Posted: 26 Aug 2015 02:24 PM PDT

Some Wednesday afternoon advice... you should consider buying an Amazon Fire Phone. Ok, before you laugh we want to say we mean it, you should get this handset, which admittedly was one of the greatest tech flops in history.
