The bold part, why is that good news?
i cant believe i just called that 'good news' lol... mayb i was drunk
the thing is for some reason some say the first few batch is easier to root (esp. v2.1) with just using z4root, and also easier to flash to custom rom.
but there's also cases where mi300 owners who got theirs on 1.6, sent to service center to upgrade to 2.1 and still, cant root and flash their devices. I dunno whether to blame on the mi300 or the user.
I can't confirm this for now up untill i can get my hands on those newer batch of mi300 with stock 2.2 preinstalled in them. gonna try to root and install cyanogenmod and see the result myself.
no matter it is a good news or bad news, 499 for 3.2" HVGA capacitive screen, msm7227 600Hz coupled with adreno 200 gpu, 256MB ram (178 useable), 5 megapixel camera is still one helluva bargain.
bad news: csl had stopped the production for mi300.
