Installing it will not work. You need to flash it.

Did you say something m8?

Sorry wasn't online until later so I missed your comment.... Thanks for the offer.

I did get it working, it just a few times install/uninstall. And just worked.

Xioami RedMi Note

So overall it's a great phone (although so far limited use)

Battery has been the stand out feature fully charged yesterday about 2pm and right now 57% after moderate use

Size is a little over powering, but coming to terms.

Resolution is crisp so quite happy about that

Camera is the other big surprise. I like taking photos and so far it's been up to the task

Sat/Nav: Haven't checked

Overall speed etc: I ran AnTuTu last night and got 27454 which for me is out of this world (I have desire HD and Asus transformer TF101 both are under 5000)

Nice one, glad to hear that you got sorted. Thanks for the quick review, think I am going to bite the bullet once I get approval from the accounts department

Any plans to check the GPS? I only ask because I believe this is known to be one of the main issues with a lot of these chinese phones with the MKT chips.

Which phone is it? The Redmi Note?

Sam Mac · 03-07-2014 10:46am

Nice one LFC, looking forward to mine arriving.

Here we go again, just received my MLAIS MX59, and then this shows up, this is basically the same phone as an MLAIS MX58 PRO. For approx 80 euro.

Yep, am fairly sure it is 2800, I won't be buying anyway, and I think I will have to stop reading email from Pandawill with their offers!!

Sold Out!!! How much was it Barr?

Thargor · 03-07-2014 2:08pm

Probably hasn't ever been on sale yet.

As Thargor said , it is in their pre sale section.

Soon to be released for sale though. I like the idea of the camera turning around.

From what I've seen of Inew , they are not that expensive.

I'm still looking for a device with KitKat, HD Screen and an SD card slot.

Not really in any rush but still!

Still looking!

Think I might just wait for the next Nexus device which should be out around October/November hopefully.

Going by that,my phone should arrive next week.That means I'm getting 2 high spec phones (ordered the new moto G 4g phone from Tesco) for less than the price of a 2nd hand S3 on Adverts.

Just in time too as my current phone has started to act up.

When did you order it ? I know it shipped (to overseas country?) on the 18th.

I received my MX59 (ordered on the 4th Jun) so took nearly a full month from order to delivery.

Ordered on the 14th, shipped on the 16th and tracking status changed to 'overseas country' on the 18th. Very quick indeed, I picked the free shipping option too!

Sam Mac · 04-07-2014 11:31am

Just arrived, packaging was superb! Tons of bubblewrap. Marked as $25 'daily necessities'
