Seems like China has a new phone in development that looks pretty much like Apple's iPhone with Touch Screen functionality. It is made by a company called Meizu and it is known as M8. It is smaller than Apple iPhone and thus a smaller screen size of 3.3-inches but just about as thin. The screen resolution is higher at 720x480 compared to 320x480 on the iPhone. M8 is powered by ARM11 processor with video codec that supports 720x480 VGA at 30fps. It runs on Win CE 6.0 OS and has Bluetooth and TV-out functionality. It appears that there are 2 cameras integrated with the back at 3 megapixels and the front at 0.3 mega pixels. It supports both GSM and TD-SDMA network. We will await for more details to be revealed by the developer at this present moment.

for some strange reason i dont see this phone getting much production.... call me crazy but im sure apples lawyers will be all over this

[thejives]

same exact phone... but it's made entirely of lead.

That just means we won't get it here. China's population is large enough that Meizu won't have to sell it anywhere else to still make a profit.

Apple will have very little recourse - China can just tell them to STFU.

:clap::lol::clap:

And instead of a touch screen it is a "lick" screen...

The only drawback is how text messages are delivered.

The Chinese do that to every even remotely popular piece of electronics. They have multiple knockoffs of the PSP, the DS, the PS3, the Wii, the iPod, you name it.

There must be a chink in the international patent law.

I agree, You wanna tell all 6 billion of the lil' fellas they can't sell this phone?

For all we know, the sucess of this phone is all that's keeping us from kneeling at the table and eating our supper with sticks.

Put me and my wife down for one each.

I think the Chinese are clearly the sneakiest people this side of Pearl Harbor.

China - Stealing ideas and making them their own for 100years.

China invests little to nothing....china is a manufacturing country, they do little to design and produce much of the complicated products that come from there.

Too bad China will soon be able to purchase most of our businesses...we will soon be owned by china.

China already owns us. With as much debt as we owe them through bonds and such, they can reduce our economy to nothing virtually overnight.

The next country that we owe the most to? Saudi Arabia.

See also Chery Motors. Meizu won't be able to sell these in the US yet, but at some point they'll find a backdoor into the market.

[Team_Ramrod]

No, there are only 1.5 billion.... I was going for dramatics.

Ah, then you should have posted :

6 BILLION of the lil' fellas!!!

The stylus it comes with is a really nice feature.

You make a call and no matter how long the conversation goes and how thoroughly you cover various subjects, an hour after you hang up you want to make the same call all over again.........

....and, no matter how long you charge it, the battery is never quite full.

that's the best I could do. Now who wants to slap a pyramid thingy on this post? Anyone? Hello!?

[scottinnj]

Done did. But you stragglers that made it to the top sure kept the construction zone rolling.

I got me one-a these Chinee phones and just couldn't figure out how to work the damned thing.
The instruction book was no help and the tech support people were equally as inscrutable...
