    Xiaomi Phone review -- Engadget

    Based on a custom Android ROM called MIUI.

    Looks very interesting.

    Looks interesting, especially at 2000RMB!

    Is the Glonass system up and running yet?

    Is this on sale in HK yet? This looks great, especially at that price range!

    Am very tempted to get it for the missus.

    Would want to know that I could root it though (ironic, considering this is based on a rooted firmware!) and know that I could change the language from Chinese to English.

    looks pretty good. the device itself is a tad boring, but the OS looks much sleeker then other Androids, and it looks snappy. my concern would be language switching which im sure they have, and the quality of the touchscreen precision.

    the engadget article mentions 35 languages

    qualify of the touchscreen is a biggie... try before you buy!

    2,000 RMB is about 2,400 HKD, so if its that price, not such a bad mark up.

    However heard reports that they have taken about 3 million pre-orders already and getting stock before mid Nov is going to be hard. Some site are selling it for around US$400 (hk$3,111)
