oh yes, but isn't it under special conditions with invite and draws to get one? And the Xiamomi is not availible in USA and Canada, and then even then, cost is not for hardware alone, its the user experience. Lots of people would pay simply to use an OS they were comfortable with using. So if you factor in hardware + the user experience + features of the OS, then you looking at the over all value. In most cases, its not hardware alone that makes people buy with any type of product. Example, look at this forum... many claim they wouldn't use and iphone even if it was free.... the reverse works too where many would gladly pay 2X the price of the same hardware if it had IOS... individual usability and preference matter more then hardware.
