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.

oH sNAP NOT ANOTHER IPHONE, OH WAIT IT AIN'T PHEW..... CPS LCK STUCK AGAIN.....
Your keys wouldn't be so sticky if you didn't.. ah, nevermind.
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."
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...
It will never be an iPhone no matter how hard it tries

He most likely masturbates over the icrap.
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.
if you have caps on you can just hold shift to make them lower case>
i did it this entire message>
Stop using your iPhone to post!

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.
No thanks,
I'm still waiting for Duke Nukem Forever.
Hah! I actually giggled a little at this even though I shoulda seen it coming.
Starcraft: Ghost for the win.
Well at least they came up with an original design to freshen up the mobile phone market.
Like I said several months ago....VAPORWARE.
Ditto... All we see from these guys for MONTHS is pic of concepts... such an iTease!...
Oh Snap not another i phone, oh wait it ain't.
sheesh have some originality in your products.
Hey your comments aren't original. The guy with the first post beat you to it!
Actually, it's the same guy. He fails twice. You fail once.
Rage, actually you fail twice. Once for a wrong accusation after missing some well placed sarcasm and again for your own idiocy.
Funny that you posted that and still didn't get it.
EPIC WIN
Glad to see you took computer.dude.28's advice on the sticky keyboard issue :-)
Rage, REALLY? It's the same guy? I never noticed.
Idiot. Next time I'll put sarcasm tags just for you.
DOUCHE!
iPhones bug me... iPhone fakes just plain piss me off.
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.
This is a joke. This phone will never be released.
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...
You downloaded a Phone?
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.
When I create my idiot free section of the internet...you will not be invited.
And I'm not even an apple person.
Do you work for Microsoft or Something?
sooper, do you know what the H in "IMHO" stands for? I'll give you a hint - it's something you're not.
"share"... You mean "steal"...
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*
Who are you replying to?
Oh, and for the record; the first one was the best.
XD...I swear if I wasn't at work, I would have died laughing.
wtf @ nokia dig, it's just icons you nut
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."
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?
But you gotta admit, it renders that page pretty well.
Are you SURE you're not him?
How much do they pay you to give them press coverage?
You guys give way too much press coverage for this vaporware product.
The link wasn't working for me so I had them fax me the firmware update.
But still very lame
It's no worse than the 30 or so iPhone stories every week. Firmware version 2.22.3623663.21535656.213453253 Beta was just released, let's make sure everyone knows about it.
36th!!!!!!
meizu....me zu....me zoo....me too.....
It's actually pronounced MAY-ZOO. Back to the drawing board for you.
Are you people totally blind. Any publicity is good publicity. It is not without reason that any and all touch screen phone suddenly is related to Nokia instead of iPhone.
Wow, this thread has crashed and burned.
It's the iPod touch phone on Engadget again! That black outline says a lot.
By the time they actually release this, it'll be obsolete.
A bit like the iPhone 3G you mean? Released a year after the original, and LONG after most phones have the same technology
i can ride my bike with no handlebars
The browser doesn't look that promising anyway. It's been there for hours, and it's still loading...
nice.. lol
I can keep rhythm with no metronome.
APPLE SUCKS
I said that just so you can cut yourself
damn, tried to reply to ocean
I can split the atom of a molecule
I don't know why, but I still like this thing. Hopefully it will be cheap.
I can end the planet in a holocaust.
I cant start my RX8.
This has got to be the single worst bunch of comment's I've ever seen on this site.
For the love of god, start vetting your users, Engadget. It's turning into a cesspool over here.
It looks just like Apple's touch systems..
When I saw the first screenshot I'd say the Samsung to the right looks way better. The Meizu's layout (clock) is ugly and the black looks more like gray.
