I almost burst out screaming at 6 a.m in the morning! It’s about time!
Great!
Yay! Now the question is how to get my hands on one..
I bet theyll only release 100k of em too so they can brag about selling out in 4 seconds or whatever.
sadly, this will be the case. I just hope it doesn’t take Taiwan and Hong Kong a long time to get it. The WCDMA HongMi was released Nov 5th, but the local Xiaomi here in Taiwan just keeps saying “soon!”. Not looking like I’ll have a Mi3 until 2014 at this rate.
I want one, now! Where Xiaomi ching chang chong nowwwww
