  So according to that website, the answer is yes OPO is compatible with 4G/LTE with Vodafone? Or am I misreading something?

  Use that to double check if you are still unsure.

    Yes, they are now available for general purchase as the invitation system has now ended.

    CyanogenMod has formally severed ties with OnePlus (in favour of a deal with an Indian brand), so certainly not for long, or at all now, with CM pre-installed.

    Pre-installs will be ColorOS only from the factory, irrespective of the intended market.

    That's assuming that you're at all interested in buying, Mr. A. Martin Lagonda…

      To be honest I would have had one a long time ago, but if I just cant go to a web site and order one with no fuss and without all that invite shit then I couldn't be arsed getting one and Ive been happy with my HTC One M7 and I also have a ulefone Be Pro which is "almost the same as a oneplus one just a cheaper version :p
      One top of that the AU is shit and is making the oneplus one expensive.

      \mumble ramblings :p

        Possible alternative is Xiaomi :) a favourite brand of ozbargainers in terms of their other products.

  Phone will work fine on Vodafone's 1800MHz (Band 3) 4G/LTE.

  Vodafone didn't bid for any of the 700MHz spectrum that Optus and Telstra now have, which they both are, apace, rolling out all around Australia. (Band 28.)

  Vodafone has refarmed a chunk of their 850MHz allocation (previously used just for 3G) for 4G/LTE (Band 5).

  The OnePlus One can't access that, or Optus/Telstra 700MHz.

  Hence, at considerable distance from towers - and if you want a reliable 4G connection - not ideal.
