According to Hugo Barra during the launch event, the 1S is coming in early August and the Note in late August but these are tentative dates.

Apparently, some previous owners aren't impressed

[Discussion] Disappointed....| MIUI

But if they offer reasonable ASS just like they reasonably priced the MI3, then the lack of a developer support will somewhat get overlooked IMHO

EDIT: The discussion mostly refers to bugs in Developer MIUI ROM, not the Stable ROM. Hope this further helps in making a buying decision.

The VP of Xiaomi told that in China they guarantee 1hour service to resolve issues and they are looking forward to bring such experience in India...

You have time to register till midnight today. You can buy tomorrow when the sale starts at noon. Apparently flipkart did this kind of thing so they can estimate how much traffic the site will get and prepare for it so it doesn't crash like when moto g,e launched.

Yes I received the 3 months First subscription when it was launched. I also have 50% off for renewal because of student account :D

Maybe it is for First subscribers only. I had received a SMS saying the 1st 1000 First subscribers to register will get a sure chance of buying. I was watching the live stream of the launch presentation and I registered for it almost as soon as they showed the flipkart page in the presentation.

Maybe. I also saw on the MI forums that those who had liked MI India's FB page were also eligible to buy today but tat had to be redeemed on 17-18th July.

Probably it's available today only for First subscribers and MI India fans. General sale starts tomorrow.

Also after ordering the product, the product page now says that I have to register to buy the product but when I hit the register now button it says that I'm already registered. So I'm guessing it's probably limited to 1 per account.

Hi all,
.
I am buying the Xiaomi Mi 3 and would like to know the following points about it .
.
1. i read somewhere that the Indian version of the phone is only WCDMA ? So do i require a new sim card since i have a GSM (normal) sim connection from Vodafone .
2. Are the service centres Xiaomi Exclusive or is it a general shop wherein they repair other mobiles ?
3. Does the phone have direct access to playstore since the chinese versions dont have it
4. WHat are the chances of the phone Conking off ? I know the materials and the equipment used is branded but still for a safer side would the Xiaomi be in tatters after a few months of usage or will it last me atleast an year ?
5. DOes it ship with JB based MIUI or the Kitkat based MIUI ? Has the company promised some updates ?
6. Who would be seeling it on flipkart ? Flipkart itself or some seller like WS Retail ?
Thanks,
123Hero
