OnePlus One went up for pre-order on October 27th, however a number of users experienced problems at the time of ordering the much awaited device. The Chinese company’s site experienced a massive hit in traffic, causing it to be nearly impossible for customers to process an order.
The problem occurred on the site even after doubling of server capacity before the pre-order that was scheduled for just an hour.In response to the overwhelming demand for the One during the first pre-order event, OnePlus has issued a public apology for the site errors. In addition, the company has announced that it has scheduled a second pre-order on November 17 at 15:00 GMT.
“By waiting a few weeks, we will have time to ramp up our inventory and implement needed changes. It will also give you a chance to express any questions or feedback you might have so we can really improve this next round.”
posted OnePlus on a company blog.
The company says that it will be able to prepare more servers for the launch and be generally better prepared than it was the first go around. Althought, it did not reveal the total number, the company only mentioned “Tens of thousands” of pre-order for OnePlus One. As reported earlier, Indian buyers will need an Indian specific invite to buy OnePlus One.
