I have spent a good amount of time searching for the best smartphone in this particular range , and Mi3 is the best one in comparison of Design and features, can't judge the performance before its in my hand. I'm Just waiting for few more days before its available on sale at flipkart .

"Out of stock" in several seconds.

Flipkart might have bought them to increase their inventory and not sell them outside

Might be possible , Got the same " out of stock " message while ordering , will have to wait for few more days I guess. But it went viral no doubt .

I managed to buy Mi3 at 2 PM yesterday. I had kept the page open before 2 and was auto refreshing it till 2 PM and when the sale opened I clicked the buy now button and the phone was added to cart. It was a seamless experience this time around. Will get the phone by tomorrow.

Hope you have registered for the next sale on Aug 5. Alternatively you can purchase at a premium price from Ebay. I did find some listings there. Best of Luck.

Don't forget to share review after using it for a week or so..! I'll surely like to know few points in Con section as I know most of the pro's .
 I'm still ambiguous about Mi3 and HTC desire 700.

If you were able to click Buy Now and you got internal server error check if its added to cart. If its added to cart then you can pay till 6 pm. It will be reserved for you. One of my friend was able to buy it like that.

Flipkart recently added google adsense into their pages.

By this kind of fake offers, they will get more pageviews + many clicks. to get more revenue they fooled us.

This is main reason they are releasing every week without having any phones in hand.

i stopped to register for next week b'coz the same thing will happen.

i hope other competitors (snapdeal ., etc) will launch this kind of similar offers soon.

Flipkart is only trusted e-commerce platform before but not now. IMO.

I would have said all the bad things about it and persuaded you to go for HTC but am not going to do so. I had bought it as a gift and the user is absolutely loving it.

FlipKart should have introduced pre-booking rather than this flash sale. People who are really interested could have paid the booking amount and then wait for the device to arrive say a month or so.

I have a Xiaomi Mi2s and I love it. It works great and is really fast. The reasons I bought it is because it was only 250 euro and just a bit stronger than the Samsung Galaxy S4 (which costs a shitload more). My girlfriend has a Xiaomi RedMi and a friend of mine has just bought the Mi3. They both love their phones and I highly recommend Xiaomi to anyone.

I bought my phone from Ibuygou. To be honest, I bought all of my Xiaomi related products (including a bigger battery and covers) there. I got my phone in 3 days with the DHL delivery option (which does costs a bit more, but is definitely worth it).

EDIT: I have been reading up on the Mi4 and I really like it. Might be my next phone (when it's easier to purchase) ;D

It could be more helpful if you have provided a direct link where the sale is taking place.
