More Meizu M8 images released, device itself still unreleased

Say what you will about J. Wong and his band of merry imitators at Meizu, but they sure are sticklers for details, which has led to a number of delays and endless tweaks to their now infamous M8 phone. As you can see in this latest pic apparently let loose by none other than J. Wong himself, they now seem to be putting the finishing touches on the device's web browser and, as you might have guessed, they aren't exactly taking their inspiration from Nokia. Hit up the link below for a few more pics, just don't expect to find any further word of an actual release date for the phone or anything like that.

[Thanks, Kevin]

[computer.dude.28 @ Aug 5th 2008 3:03PM]

Your keys wouldn't be so sticky if you didn't.. ah, nevermind.

[Alec @ Aug 5th 2008 3:06PM]

I want one of these things very badly, but I don't think I could handle my friends wanting to see my iPhone and then having to say, "actually...it's a meizu."

[A Jenkins @ Aug 5th 2008 3:23PM]

man, this phone is so not going to be released... just ordered my A99i - http://www.mp3nmp4.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=1689&HS=1 i swear meizu is a mess - the CEO even said phone would never be released...

[iPhoner @ Aug 5th 2008 3:31PM]

It will never be an iPhone no matter how hard it tries

He most likely masturbates over the icrap.

[macserv @ Aug 5th 2008 4:33PM]

I think it'll be more fun to compare what actually ships to what they announced (shortly after the iPhone's original launch) that it would be.

Stop using your iPhone to post!

[Steffen Jobbs @ Aug 5th 2008 11:00PM]

Photoshopped iPhone called Meizu M8. Still, if it were ever produced it would probably cost more than the real McCoy, so what's the point. Within a few months, the smartphone market will be so saturated with iPhones, there won't be any more room for another upstart company.

[crow610 @ Aug 5th 2008 2:59PM]

No thanks,
I'm still waiting for Duke Nukem Forever.

[Eddie @ Aug 5th 2008 3:31PM]

Hah! I actually giggled a little at this even though I shoulda seen it coming.

[nneonneo @ Aug 5th 2008 5:03PM]

Starcraft: Ghost for the win.

[Rage @ Aug 5th 2008 2:59PM]

Well at least they came up with an original design to freshen up the mobile phone market.

[aaron @ Aug 5th 2008 3:00PM]

Like I said several months ago....VAPORWARE.

[SFO Kevin @ Aug 5th 2008 4:51PM]

Ditto... All we see from these guys for MONTHS is pic of concepts... such an iTease!...

[SOOPERGOOMAN @ Aug 5th 2008 3:00PM]

Oh Snap not another i phone, oh wait it ain't.
sheesh have some originality in your products.

[Abuzar Baloach @ Aug 5th 2008 3:02PM]

Hey your comments aren't original. The guy with the first post beat you to it!

[Rage @ Aug 5th 2008 3:13PM]

Actually, it's the same guy. He fails twice. You fail once.

[Lowest Ranked @ Aug 5th 2008 3:19PM]

Rage, actually you fail twice. Once for a wrong accusation after missing some well placed sarcasm and again for your own idiocy.

[Rage @ Aug 5th 2008 3:27PM]

Funny that you posted that and still didn't get it.

[Johann Wentzel @ Aug 5th 2008 3:47PM]

EPIC WIN

[thatrotierkid @ Aug 5th 2008 4:06PM]

Glad to see you took computer.dude.28's advice on the sticky keyboard issue :-)

[Abuzar Baloach @ Aug 5th 2008 4:09PM]

Rage, REALLY? It's the same guy? I never noticed.

Idiot. Next time I'll put sarcasm tags just for you.

[SOOPERGOOMAN @ Aug 5th 2008 3:01PM]

DOUCHE!

[Engadget: Please confirm your comment @ Aug 5th 2008 3:02PM]

iPhones bug me... iPhone fakes just plain piss me off.

[tyler @ Aug 5th 2008 3:42PM]

People on their iPhones/iPhone fakes while driving piss me off..

iPhone fakes help to eventually drive down the price of iPhones, so that doesn't piss me off.

[patrick @ Aug 5th 2008 3:05PM]

This is a joke. This phone will never be released.

[ShadowKain @ Aug 5th 2008 3:02PM]

I don't think it will stick much. Most of these imitators fail to reason they need a big thing, some sort of unique component or software to truly distinguish themselves from the rest of the pack. Simply copying the iPhone design and interface GUI won't work on a world that has Apple's finerprint all over them...

[Abuzar Baloach @ Aug 5th 2008 3:03PM]

You downloaded a Phone?

[SOOPERGOOMAN @ Aug 5th 2008 3:04PM]

Apple sucks man, you just buy into hype to be trendy and cool. Apple computers suck unless you are into media making, the ipods suck because they do and that you can't "share" music or dload from anyone else's computer. As for phones, ummm GARBAGE. IMHO. I wish Steve Jobs would go the way of the dinosaur.

[Eddie @ Aug 5th 2008 3:36PM]

When I create my idiot free section of the internet...you will not be invited.

And I'm not even an apple person.

[ZeRo @ Aug 5th 2008 4:03PM]

Do you work for Microsoft or Something?

[Zak @ Aug 5th 2008 4:04PM]

sooper, do you know what the H in "IMHO" stands for? I'll give you a hint - it's something you're not.

[SFO Kevin @ Aug 5th 2008 4:54PM]

"share"... You mean "steal"...

[ShadowKain @ Aug 5th 2008 3:04PM]

Honestly, really I am serious , what did you hope to accomplish with that? Your numbered days are best spent on xbox live, arguing with 13 year olds which versin of Halo was the best ... *rolls eyes*

[Lowest Ranked @ Aug 5th 2008 3:23PM]

Who are you replying to?

Oh, and for the record; the first one was the best.

[ShadowKain @ Aug 5th 2008 3:05PM]

XD...I swear if I wasn't at work, I would have died laughing.

[Fernando @ Aug 5th 2008 3:05PM]

wtf @ nokia dig, it's just icons you nut

[L @ Aug 5th 2008 3:12PM]

Well, that's Engadget for you. Of course they choose a completely untested and unknown device that's obviously crap based on the fact that the Engadget staff dislikes the icons.

Isn't anybody here studying maths with statistics emphasis? How about analyzing Engadget's articles for a year in terms of general post intend (like praising/indifferent/critizising) per company. I bet it would be a very very interesting result :D

Last comment in response to :

"Dude I just downloaded the Beta 4 release of it from the newsgroups. It is freaking awesome."

[Xenoterranos @ Aug 5th 2008 3:06PM]

I want to know what comes in that box they have the phone sitting on.

The could have at least changed the shape of the button and the speaker slot.

Is that so friggin' difficult?

[Chaosen1 @ Aug 5th 2008 7:00PM]

But you gotta admit, it renders that page pretty well.

[Leindurstit @ Aug 5th 2008 3:15PM]

Are you SURE you're not him?

[Fatima @ Aug 5th 2008 3:18PM]

How much do they pay you to give them press coverage?
You guys give way too much press coverage for this vaporware product.

[Lowest Ranked @ Aug 5th 2008 3:20PM]

The link wasn't working for me so I had them fax me the firmware update.
