Xiaomi Phone gets dissected, phone status confirmed

The Xiaomi Phone managed to pique our interest by packing a 1.5Ghz dual-core processor into a fairly sleek, inexpensive package — and, like all interesting new devices, it’s now been torn completely apart. You can thank the folks at LeiPhone for doing the hard work in this case, the results of which can be found at the source link below. We’ll soon also have some more impressions of the (intact) phone ourselves, and it looks like Xiaomi will be giving its own forum members the first crack at pre-orders for the device. Those start at 10PM Eastern tonight for those with the requisite number of points, and we’re told that the first 600 orders (200 each day from the 29th to the 31st) will receive an “engineering special edition” version of the phone — not to mention a slight discount off the list price.
