Meizu M8 gets unwelcome price hike, dodgy release details
Sure hope you weren't counting on getting your palms around Meizu's oh-so-familiar M8 anytime soon, as it now looks like the handset may not even be available to purchase until mid-next year. Granted, the 667MHz CPU, 128MB of RAM, GSM connectivity, 3.4-inch VGA touchscreen, video output, and built-in Bluetooth 2.0 / WiFi sure are appealing, but those still willing to wait this one out will apparently be paying even more than previously expected. The latest on the street pegs the forthcoming 8GB iteration at around $400, but if money ain't a thang, you may as well continue on pinching those pennies for the 16GB (and potentially 3G-enabled) flavor.

Price seems fine to me. People pay $600 for the iphone.. Unlocked for 1/3 less sounds like a deal to me. Quad band?

By 1st half '08, the features on this will be common (except maybe 8gb internal storage) and $400+ may seem like a premium.

Smells like Vapor-ware to me.... every few weeks the specs slips and the price increases. I'm going to China in November and I was hoping to pick this thing up. By the time November rolls around the specs will be the same as a Palm IIIx at the price of a Volkswagen Golf!

Yep it was a quick ditch effort of someone who had some CG skills(or lack thereof)to try and milk some buzz from the iPhone.
