Oneus published a forum post today detailing its new product rollout plans for the rest of the year. “ have been actively collecting discussing the feedback that you’ve had to the invite system,” admits Carl, an administrator in the Oneus One forums. To help deal with the onslaught of eager buyers, Oneus said that it will launch its devices in multiple stages: first with invites—a method that’s been utilized since the Android-powered device launched— then with both invites pre-orders. “ are currently developing the pre-order functionality. Our best estimation for the launch of this functionality is Q3, but are not able to make any guarantees at this moment,” continues Carl. He adds that this doesn’t mean there are additional delays. Regardless, it’s been a frustrating process for some buyers who have been anxiously awaiting their Oneus One. st month a poll conducted in the Chinese forums showed that only a small percentage of buyers had received their 16GB or 64GB models, while posts in other forums have cropped up with rants on the waiting process. The recent post from Oneus is likely a response to the separate thread from buyers deming more transparency. It’s not a good start for a company that’s made such lofty promises in the beginning, even if its product is a real contender. Then again, how are we supposed to know if it’s not really getting into the hs of users?
