You are right. Also most of them offer 1 to 6 months warranty.
Why would you guys buy from tmall.....
There is a local seller selling the 32GB version for 399 for white , 409 for the gold...on qoo10. I placed ordered this morning and collect it at the store at Simlim...
Sealed set with China rom....to me it's cheaper than tmall....
But one thing cock up is, I ordered white and they give me a gold one, go Ho,e open the box then I realised...go back to the store, need to wait for the new stock to come in on Thursday...
But price wise they are the best Liao....
not nice to expose, shop does this for a living. They flashes it to that rom because it caters more to the locals, rather to give them a china rom.
only feel bad for those who have little knowledge to flash the rom, and have to deal with the malware.
It's really interesting how these local sellers can sell cheaper than xiaomi China... When buying from them, only worry is if it's really new

I simply can't understand your logic. That bugger is selling malware infected phone to novice consumers and you're defending him, citing doing it for a living???
Guess you will defend a robber cos he need the money out even a rapist cos he need the sexual satisfaction. *** FACEPALM
Actually if you can then buy from Taobao officially will be good, at least no risk of tampered ROM for example.So u all dun suggest getting the 128GB from tmall @ RMB 2699 ~ $560 (before shipping & GST)?
Local resellers are selling abt $700+

Sent from Sumire using GAGT

I saw some reseller have disclaimer. The phone comes with certain ROM. If flashed to other ROM, warranty (if any) will be void.That's exactly what I am thinking!
Except I'm not sure if its worth the effort, especially since many people say buy from resellers is cheeper!
