they aren't bad tbh, but i live in china and part of the value proposition for them is if you drop it and the screen shatters you can take it around the corner and a shirtless guy on a plastic stool will pull the phone apart and put it back together with a brand new screen while smoking a cigarette for $20 or something. i don't think you get that service if you aren't in china

xiaomi is good because it is an enterprising company that will only ever have influence where apples lawyers are not able to sue them for all their bananas.

it is a perfectly equitable relationship and seeing Hugo barra defend their shameless ripoff artistry and try to speak mandarin is hilarious.

so presumably xiaomi can't sell the not-an-iphone anywhere in NA or europe, are they even legal to import here?

every once in a while i'll see one in one of the little bodega/cellphone shops up here

the moment they try to set up shop in Western Europe/the US I think apple will block sales immediately and probably try to extract patent infringement money too. [/cremnob]


idk the details but I think that xiaomi just won't be able to get away with it over here. and to be honest that is fine, their business model can handle some of the fastest and largest growing economies in the world, the U.S. market is super saturated anyway.

well yeah, i'm pretty sure samsung has the unapologetic iphone knockoff market pretty well sewn up here. even then, people who want an iphone just buy an iphone over here, the carrier subsidies have made them accessible to anyone.

i'm guessing the only way anyone gets a xiaomi here is grey market, which must be hilarious if they want anything like a warranty.

if it's a company car, why would i pay out of pocket for it?

p.s. the major carriers in canada don't give a significant discount if you have your own phone. the best thing to do is to get whatever the hot spergphone du jour is and resell it immediately

[ASK] me about OS/2 Warp
FYI for Stillaire owners out there: there is a ten dollar Big Dripper clone on fast tech that had a glass tank, and the nautilus styled grips with a rounded, dome-shaped top. This specific Big Dripper fits the actual "dripper" part snugly and perfectly over the Stillaire deck. It is the perfect size.

I have been all day dripping with this combination of things, and let me tell ya. The big dripper part works, the Stillaire deck is waaaaaaay better than the stock deck, and it sits perfectly flush on a stainless stingray x. If you are a mech user looking for a solid 18650 setup, I seriously recommend this loving Frankenstein of parts as your all day vape machine.
