90k only, I guess this time the figure is way over the roof! Good they changed the way in which you can order this phone at least better late than never!!

I doubt flipkart wont be able to..
They have just 10k pieces for 90k potential registered buyers.

Flipkart sale postponed to 2 PM, stock of only 10,000 units on sale

http://www.deccanchronicle.com/140728/technology-mobiles-and-tabs/article/will-xiaomi-mi-3-bring-flipkart’s-website-its-knees-again.


Am i right or Am i right? ;)
 
Yes...I am definitely disappointed.Norally i dont get disappoint wen buying a hardware.

But i genuinely need handset now.As my SPice Mi 410 crashes everytime i open an app.I was not ready to go for 20k plus stuff.

This one genuinely fits my criteria.Not expensive and would had taken really care about my need.

Really damn disappointed.
 
TBH, that BGR article was whiny to say the least. This has been their sale model for the past 4 years, and it works. And I'm sure even after all the whining, another 100k people will line up the moment another sale date goes live. Not to mention higher numbers for Redmi Note and 1S.
Another sale on 5th August. There you go.

It was out of stock immediately after counter reached to zero. Stock doesn't even lasts for 3 seconds. Cheap publicity stunt from Xiaomi and Flipkart.

That video is so LOL. My understanding was the deal was live for a minute or so.
If it ended so fast then no doubt it was just to create hype & news.
Bad stuff !!!

Hola hola. WTF is this? Selling for double the MRP.
Do one thing someone take email id of this ebay seller by communicating with them and complain to flipkart with ebay link.
The warranty of the phone will be void.[DOUBLEPOST=1406632880][/DOUBLEPOST]Is it me who is only thinking HOW SHAMELESS Xiaomi poeple are?

Flipkart can't do anything ... On eBay people have been doing this nuisance from ages , you can't report and expect something to happen.
The dumbness will be if someone buys it for that price..
 
Zauba says only 10,400 Mi3's came to India. You should guess who's playing games?


Xiaomi says it sold 10,000 pieces on 23rd july, so did it sell just 400 phones today (29-07) ?
