    Congratulations on losing a customer OnePlus marketing department. Person who had idea to market water bottle as 99$ gift should be fired on spot. If you think your customers are a joke good luck handling all preorder returns.

    I just Tweeted at their CEO (Pete Lau) if more people join in maybe he will notice that there was a problem with this strategy. Also if most of the preorders will get returned.

    Just received my 8T with a water bottle and returned it. It's insulting to be offered a water bottle and be told it worth $100.
    I've had 5 onePlus phones and this experience will likely end that run.

    I've tweeted OnePlus support OnePlus the CEO OnePlus USA and nothing even mention I think they may have broken consumer protection laws by falsely advertising a $99 gift when they clearly sell it on their own site for $27. Even hit up their Facebook page and it's crickets they clearly don't care at all.

    Can someone explain? I just got my 8t as I ordered the Pop-up bundle that at time of order also said free mystery gift. I got: phone, charger, protective case, ear buds and a team smooth nonsense card.
    What's the gift? Nothing in this package was a mystery..
    Haven't tried the phone yet and I'm looking forward to it but I thought I was getting a mystery gift. Is it coming later?

    Where did you guys order to get the water bottle? I ordered straight after launch as soon as the 8T was available to pre-order, and the free gift was a nice sandstone bumper case - there was no option to get a water bottle. I had no water bottle in my box either, just the phone box (which also included a clear case inside) and the free sandstone bumper case.

    I clicked the "buy now" button or whatever it was and the page said a mystery gift worth $99 was included in the purchase. The invoice for my order, and everyone else's, shows a metal flask as the gift.

    I don't like being scammed either...mine comes tomorrow so I will see what the mystery gift is for me...but I will say this...that we're buying this phone for the phone...NO??? Not a free gift! Everybody likes a free gift to be worth something but this is bordering on 12 year old kids arguing over who's dad is stronger? I am waiting on my 8t because I am returning a Galaxy S20 FE which is JUNK!!!! The screen and the proximity sensor on the FE DOES NOT WORK...just look it up on Google. So be glad you got a phone that works! Stop whining and buy something else...if you think it will work better for you...but to return a PHONE because your FREE gift was not up to your expectations? Childish!
