Meizu M8 Captured On Film: Realer Than Big Foot But Not Nearly As Interesting

11:30PM Mark Wilson | Remember the Meizu M8? It was the iPhone clone, the one that we were all excited to see…back in 2007. Now that Apple’s added 3G to the mix, expanded storage and lowered the price with contract, the prospect of a (still unreleased) 8GB iClone has gotten a whole lot less enticing. But just for those who thought Meizu could never do it, here’s a decent walkthrough of their interface. Please note, however, that the clip contains some suggestive images of (underage?) females that you may not want to play at work. Stay classy, Meizu! [via Electronista] More »

Meizu MiniOne Real Pricing, Availability

4:20AM Seamus Byrne | Either this site is overcharging by a crapload or the previous pricing was totally off, but the Meizu MiniOne is up to $988 for the 16GB model, compared to $450, which was listed before. What could cause such a rise in price? Hard to say. We do know that the phone should be available around December 7, but such a lofty price compared to the iPhone may just put a damper on any plans for the Meizu being any sort of real competition. Full specs after the jump. [NegriElectronics] More »
