OnePlus One will be supported by CM in India!

Rumors were floating around that the OnePlus One would be launched with CM in India but would not be getting any further updates..
This rumor came to life because of Micromax announcing Cyanogenmod's exclusivity to itself.
The OnePlus One is a great device, it has pretty solid specs and it has CM out of the Box.  But after these rumors, that charm that OnePlus One had kind of faded.

But Cyanogen came out of the dark and said :
We are proud of the work we did on the OnePlus One. Through our collaboration with OnePlus, we demonstrated the power of strong hardware and software tuned for exceptional performance. To clarify misinformation out there, the OnePlus One will get OTA firmware updates for all global devices, including global devices for our users in India. Rather than have misinformation continue to circulate out there, we felt it important to bring this matter to rest.

So this announcement puts all those rumors to rest and now OnePlus One does seem like the go to device.  It has everything one looks for a smartphone at that price...

So will you consider buying the OnePlus One now?  Would you switch to the OnePlus custom OS when it comes or will you stick to CM??

Feel free to share, +1 and

Enjoy!!

OnePlus One to ship without Cyanogenmod

We all know what a great device the OnePlus One is..  It was named as the flagship killer,  it has a great price point, had great specs and it shipped with Cyanogenmod.. 

The OnePlus One is coming to India and will be sold exclusively via Amazon.in
I was really excited about the device but here's what took away most of my excitement,  the OnePlus One will not be shipped with Cyanogenmod in India.  That's a bummer,  one of the most important reason people buy the OnePlus One is that it has Cyanogenmod out of the Box. Why would u plan so OnePlus?

Well here's what I have been hearing,  the fault is not from OnePlus's side it's Cyanogen who did this.  Cyanogen announced that it'll be granting it's right to use the OS in India to Micromax.

So what will the device be running when it comes to India? 
The device will have CM but it will not get any updates. OnePlus says that it's putting up their own first community build of the software and it'll be at its final stage in February.  This community build will be based on Android Lollipop,  so it'll be fast,  minimal and lightweight. OnePlus even promises a 2 years update guarantee after the final build is released.  So it looks like the device will be future proof and it'll be a good investment  considering the expected price, specs and looks.. 

So would you still consider buying the OnePlus One when it comes to India?? 
Was Cyanogenmod what you wanted?
Is the OnePlus One still appealing to you as it was earlier?
