They use ups and FedEx. Ups alone can't cope with the volume.

 

[richey]

UPS = slower even if you order earlier
Fedex = will come within the next few days even if your order was placed later

how many of the 6 gb music u listen? hoarders are hoarders...

I only listen to a few songs each day at most, sometimes not at all.

But if you think about it, it's not about how many songs you listen to but about having ACCESS to your entire collection when you want it, so that you can CHOOSE the songs that best fit your mood at any point in time.

We are in 2014. You should not have to decide at the beginning of each day, "Hmm, today I feel like classical and ethnic" (and waste spend time copying the relevant song files to your device), only to realise later, "Shucks, I actually feel like listening to rock. Oh well, I'll remember to load it tomorrow ".

Having your entire collection on your device is not about hoarding, it's about making smart use of your smartphone ... that is, if you have enough storage for it. If not, you'll probably need some memory dongle sticking awkwardly from your device that some have suggested, or hope that your song mood prediction at the beginning of each day is accurate . Or stream your music and pray that your data connection is good ...

I'm not trying to belittle the Mi3. To make do with constraints because of the price one pays for a device is noble and to be encouraged; all of us have budget constraints one way or another. But we should also not dismiss the advantages that higher priced options bring as being illogical or unnecessary, lest it sounds like sour grapes. However, I'm sure that's not the case here, just a lack of understanding .

that's classic hoarding mentality bro

Well, if this 'classic hoarding mentality' allows me to have a great song selection wherever I am, then I'd rather be a 'hoarder' any day. Sure beats wondering what songs to load into my smartphone on a regular basis ; I have way more important things to do ...

U don't need higher priced options, u can buy the Redmi at half the price and have 32GB microSD to save all your stuff..

i was once a hoarder lol...till i switch to nexus 4 back then...i have my library on pc n update my playlist now n then. you also make use of dropbox etc or mega to download specific songs now n then.

also sd card makes a world of difference, esp if u r into flashing.

Yes, in terms of storage (and storage alone), the Redmi is a possible option that is inexpensive and which could possibly meet my storage needs. Unfortuantely, storage is just one aspect; there are other things I want from my smartphone which the Redmi can never hope to meet given its price point.

I don't know about "prawn farms" but the fact is that I can have my entire music collection on my smartphone; it's not wishful thinking. I just have to use a smartphone other than the Mi3.

Remember that this started with a query from someone who didn't understand why any person would need more than 16GB storage on his smartphone. Well, I'm helping him to understand that there are many reasons why someone would want that, especially those who want to get the most out of their smartphone.
