Guess what? Wasn't real. Just like this phone at present. Nothing but computer generated mock-ups.

Y'know - iPhone 'killer' or not, who cares - it just adds to the pot of better phones but when they have a proper physical solid phone to show other than a mock up we can all start singing it's rejoices.

Until then, it's nothing more than a fantasy.

They only come up to your knees,
Yet they're always friendly, and they're ready to please.
I like Chinese.

Allowing _real_ third party apps means you can get things like this for the phone;
http://software.palminfocenter.com/product.asp?id=8
….and thats is just one link I found from typing in "windows mobile mkv" into google just now to prove my point.

As for the increased rez - if it was the other way round and iphone had the 720x480 .....would you still be making the same comment? This could easily benefit web page viewing over wifi (& 3G/3.5G) and video as well as for UI.

And before you start saying that apple's UI etc cant be matched - take a look at what a guy who barely knew how to use flash and mortscript made in under 6 weeks for his windows mobile device;

http://www.downloadsquad.com/2007/06/25/better-than-the-iphone/

This is just a small sample of what a real open-ness to third party apps can do for your device - and if the 8 & 16 gb meizu M8w's make it to the UK, I've got a fair idea of what my next phone could be.....

be more open minded because this thing defiantly has just as much if not more potential than the iphone does.

Please refer to this thread:
http://www.howardforums.com/showthread.php?t=1107812&page=12&pp=15


Things to consider:

A) "Based on BBB files, this company has an unsatisfactory record with the Bureau due to failure to respond to a complaint."

B) "NEGRI INVESTMENTS" is registered as a company that handles "Residential Property Manager"

C) The "company" was "Created: 2006-12-06"


Do you really want to send a company dealing with APARTMENT MANAGEMENT $1000 for a mobilephone, that you might have to contact BBB about later, only to get NO RESPONCE?

It is a fact that some no-name importer has the M8 up for sale for $989"

Why do you call an online site by Ryan Negri (with UNSATISFACTORY RECORD with BB after 6mo of being online) who deals with APARTMENT MANAGEMENT an "no-name importer" his "Negri Investments" collects rent from tenants as seen from his site:

Not sure what your definition of "up for sale" is but there nothing legit about the Negri Electronics prices nor tactics. ]]>Jun 30th 2007 7:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/06/30/meizus-16gb-minione-m8-989-in-2008/http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/30/meizus-16gb-minione-m8-989-in-2008/Jun 30th 2007 8:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/06/30/meizus-16gb-minione-m8-989-in-2008/http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/30/meizus-16gb-minione-m8-989-in-2008/

You really have issues with everything dont you.

Do me a favor, contact Negri Electronics and have a conversation with them.

Its really sad that you go out of your way to do things like that. I have been a customer of his for over 3 years, dating way back to their Ebay days.

Its just a shame people like you, who never spoke to, purchased from, or even emailed them, can feel so much anger that you have to post things like that.

Your comments about them collecting rent, why pay them for a cell phone that youll have to contact the BBB about later.

its humorous really. Its just too bad for an honest hard-working company that there are people like you on the web.]]>Sep 29th 2007 1:06PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/06/30/meizus-16gb-minione-m8-989-in-2008/http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/30/meizus-16gb-minione-m8-989-in-2008/Nov 30th 2007 8:49PM
