You won't get any invite..If you have registered you will automatically be able to purchase when the phone is on sale. I also registered just 2 days before the sale day and didn't get any invite. I just logged in around 12:00 and after some crashes, I was able to order...luckily..

It's been a known fact about MIUI for ages. Back in the day a lot of people used MIUI to get the iOS look. With MIUI you get a ton of themes and can practically change the look to almost anything you want.
Here are my initial Impression.
- Looks awesome. Feels Ok......maybe I am used to lugging Nokias around it feels too light and plasticky but looks like metal.
- MIUI is impressive. Almost everything that is "essential" is bundled along.
- Camera is the best I have seen under 20-25K phones......the features bundled alone will make up for any misgivings. NO conclusion as of yet.
- Nice themes, don't feel like using 3rd party launchers now. Maybe I will get bored and switch back to NOVA later.
- Phone heats up while charging.......and I mean you WILL notice the heat. Warms up a bit when doing intensive stuff.
- Audio through speaker is ok......with its earphones is good. There are lots of settings to tinker around so no again conclusion yet.
- Have to stress test the phone yet.
- I will review it within 2 days.
How on earth did most of you guys get an order through? I tried and tried on the 22nd and the most i got was an empty cart on fk....... waiting on the 29th now....any tips for a smooth purchase...please post here.
Flipkart Sold Less Than 10,000 Xiaomi Mi3 Units ?

well according to import database, they imported 10400 units and according to other sources, 40k units are to follow in the next lot, how they are sold is another thing and remains to be seen, either in batches or all at once, I wont be surprised if its in batches.
Once you have these numbers its not rocket science to calculate actual numbers, all 10400 units wont be sold as some would be kept as backups incase they get some lemons, around 10% usually, 1k units were offered to flipkart 1st customers and its safe to assume more than 90% availed it, if not for themselves then friends or family. This leaves you with ~8k units which are sold, in 38 mins. I have no doubt that the time duration would be in single digit had Flipkart's infrastructure able to cope with the surge. Btw I did manage to pick one up and its so far, Superb!
Di you use the fk app? or did you just do it on the website? Also COD or cc or emi? There are a lot of reports that cod worked. I need to know for the next round.
Also it will help if you have Flipkart First and Payzippy accounts signed up and your credit card stored before the sale day. Flipkart First would ensure that you get the Free one-day guaranteed delivery option, if its available to your pincode. In fact I had received a newsletter from Flipkart today which mentions "EARLY ACCESS" TO EXCLUSIVE LAUNCHES & KEY SHOPPING EVENTS" as a benefit of being a Flipkart First. Need I say more?
I tried for 30 odd mins on the regular site. Then downloaded the app and was able to buy it on the first try. Bought it on EMIs
How's the ease of giving payment details like credit card and Visa authentication etc through the app?
It was quite easy. Ohh and I ordered my phone at 12:37, so lucky to be one of the last few to get it.
