It’s 29th July and the Xiaomi Mi3 sales begins. The first lot sold out in less than 40 minutes thanks to server errors on Flipkart, let’s hope their server survives this time. According to sources this time Flipkart will have around 10K units as compared to 5K the first time.
In case you miss this opportunity the registration for the next sale will begin today itself at 6PM. Orders will be placed on first come first serve only and only one phone can be purchased per customer, don’t waste your time ordering multiple units.
I had ordered the Mi3 the first time itself, I am sure you might have already read my Mi3 review. It will not be easy this time, but the chances of successful orders are high as the stocks are almost double.
Let us know your Flipkarting experience with Mi3, did you get one or missed it.
Buy Mi3 from Flipkart for Rs. 13,999.
Many users have commented the units sold out within 5 seconds. And yes this time too there were some server issues.
How did that happen, stock sold in 5 seconds?
If you may recall the first time the Flipkart servers crashed for almost 38 minutes now that happened because the unit was considered sold only when the payment was made. And because of heavy traffic most of the users, including myself has to refresh the order page, got stuck on the payment page.
This time Flipkart made some alterations, the moment the user hit the buy button a single unit was registered for him/her and the user got plenty of time to make the payment. This is the reason why the Mi3 went out of stock in 5 seconds, logically it is not possible to place an order and make the payments within 5 sec.
I am waiting for Xiaomi Mi3 64GB.
@Gogi and all reader plse read this post its important for all http://m.gadgets.ndtv.com/mobiles/news/is-xiaomi-secretly-sending-smartphone-user-data-to-chinese-servers-567686
Shashi, pls check this
And pls check my video review there is data restrict option for messaging app I think it will block data access for that.
Gogi! I had flipkart first subscription. Waited from 12.00 PM and yet I wasn’t able to order. No pass as well.
Login at 10 am. @ desktop Kept mi3 page open. Refreshed page at 2:00 pm pressed buy button. Adding to cart errors errors. Then got a MSG that “we have reserved one unit for you but could not add to kart” come back in 15 mins” After some errors, I was able to goto cart at 2:10 pm and able to pay at 2:15pm
Got confirmation email within seconds.
Many people blame flipkart, I think FK tried their best to avoid customer frustration, I think it is purely luck and depends on what picked up by the server
I tried in the first sale, I couldn’t get it. But lucky this time. Eagerly waiting for the unit.
Same Experience as Venky….. Logged in @ 10 a.m Kept on refreshing at regular intervals….When the window opened Clicked on Buy..At first it showed “You haven’t registered for today’s sale.”….This was the Error shown by them…after reloading the page clicked on Buy Now and then it showed something went wrong….It happened nearly 5-10 times till i got the same confirmation as Venky’s….

Don’t rush. Just wait for the reviews. These are Chinese after all.
You have no idea about Xiaomi . I’m following the company from its very beginning. Please look around and notice how many chinese product you are using ?
well said Pradip..!
People are severely disappointed with asus zenfones, build quality is low, imagine asus can do that then how shud we trust xiaomi, not a single review says ‘wow, its the best’, anyway my view. Rush if you like.
Todays last buyer of mi 3 order placed at 8:45 pm.
A big scam in creating artificial demand by selling through a single outlet Govt should investigate people are being duped.
Very true and also any spy angel too.
Bhai the set will be already added in his / her cart when he / she managed to press buy now buttons within 5 secs and penetrating 230001 possible customers login to get place in 20k after that he / she might taken a good nap and ordered it at 8:45 pm. This I think, don’t know if you have any other source or tell.

Xiaomi mi4 sold out in 37 seconds in china..
Hi Gogi,
– Thank you for the information. I was amazed when my sister at Mumbai tried ordered, But, she just replied said It was out of stock as she did logged before three hours prior before the sales started. Now, i am worried do I get the product or not.
– Or is there any way of buying the product? Since I am at Manipur,I am pretty sure It wouldn’t be possible for shipments services.
– Is there any suggestion that I should inform my sister to buy without any hassles.
Thanking you Gogi Bhai,
Regards,
Siam Simte ( Former Reviewer at Digit India )
Siam, check the cart see if there is anything some users have commented they got mail from flipkart to complete order. Also for next time do read the flipkart instructions.

Waiting for your reply.
I was equally disappointed on the first day of sale on 22……I was logged in hours earlier today; faced similar messages on FlipKart toady…
“not registered”, “Something went wrong, Try again”, “out-of-stock”, etc. However I was able to successfully add one phone to cart. Bless India, power went off just when I was going through the payment. I immediately completed rest of the transaction through my phone (on 3G).
My NetBanking password didn’t work, had to use a CCard…..its really strange that after all the odds transaction went through successfully.
That said, I agree that flipkart should have managed the show better.
God knows when flipkart is gonna launch accessories !!
I agree, i tried to buy the second lot and i was ready for purchase 30 min prior to when the sale began…i was continuously hitting the refresh button for the “Buy Now” button to become active, however @2 PM the button become active, but within a second the product was Out of Stock…Strange but true…i am still wondering how come in seconds someone can even purchase a product.
Very funny I am holding a mi3 in my cart and flipkart has mailed me to complete my order before 11:59 PM 30/7/2014.
Today i got the order confirmation for mi3 from flipkart and will receive the shipment on Aug 4.
MI3 out of stock so I go Asus Zenfone 5 8GB . Can anyone say form where i can get Asus Zenfone 5 8GB?
Nilay asus zenphone is only avilable in flipkart……..
Now only 16 gb there but I have an extra sealed cover 8 gb z5 black.
By seeing this comments now I seems like very lucky guy with out any trouble I have ordered mi3 on first day itself and got it yesterday.
I got it first time. I didn’t get this time out of stock less than 30 min.
