once again all of you people complaining about price need to get your heads checked by a specialist. These prices are very cheap, considering meizu are a small company, with miniscule buying power compared to apple, yet still choose to use quality components. Find me a 16gb cell phone with ALL the capabilities that the m8 is said to have for $400, i'll make it easy for you.......there isn't one. Also find me a $320 cell phone with ALL the capabilities (including unlocked, usb otg, all the codec support etc) the 8gb m8 is said to have.....easy again... there isn't one. All this crap about a new 8gb unlocked iphone costing any where near $300 is complet s**t. To compare an iphone (which has a lower spec than the m8 anyway) on a 2 year AT&T contract to a higher specd new unlocked m8 is a completely unfair and frankly stupid comparison to even attempt to make. THE TRUTH IS (listen closely you clowns): An unlocked iphone 8gb on average costs $500 plus and gets outspeced by the m8 in almost every department. So basically a 16gb M8 still costs less than a new 8gb unlocked iphone. Also you would be paying $500 + for a lower specd phone if you bought an iphone. Only time will tell what prices will drop to. By the time the M8 is released the iphone may well be a better deal. Go look on ebay....do none of you do any research? You are living in lala land if you think meizu should be selling this any cheaper. Go look at the price for a highend nokia or sony ericsson phone, they are all WAY more than the m8. Just because meizu can sell flash daps for cheaper does not have any correlation with the prices of cell phones, its a completely different market.
