Xiomi and Flipkart both appear to have some deal to create an illusion of high demand for Xiomi phones by launching flash sales in India. Both were successful in doing so. They used to run out of stock few seconds after sales go online. It was nothing but pure marketing strategy. I got a chance to use this red mi for an hour or so as one of my friend was able to book it. Its such a low quality phone and has no premier appearance as compared to 730. I like MS approach of keeping it limited as the sales of 730 was unexpected and as they have realized that its a hit model, they will manufacture large units and bring it back in the markets. Xiomi's success was just hype created by android biased reviewers plus Flipkart's bad move of flash sales. MS don't do such flash sales at least to make folks fool out there!
