Meizu’s device is based on a heavily modified Windows Mobile interface with numerous references to Apple’s cellphone, including a Safari-like web browser front end, an iPod-like media player, and a similar overall look. However, the Chinese device also carries extras like a three-megapixel camera and FM radio at the expense of 3G data, using EDGE instead when away from Wi-Fi.
Meizu M8 is scheduled to sell for the equivalent of $340 USD for the 8GB version, and $411 for the 16GB edition.
