i almost bought a new phone last week, but i could resist and rather wait for the M8 but if they exclude wifi that's a dealbreaker for me...hope they don't
TBH...even waiting till march is pushing it... As almost all of the manufacturers are taking out similar sort of phones... Just different specs... depends how loyal one is to any brand... Meizu is pretty new atleast for me.
I will only buy another phone before the M8 if a phone comes out that can match these specs.......
16gb flash memory
3.3 inch+ size screen
Full XviD/DivX support up to 720x480 @ 30fps 2mb/p/s
WIFI
Bluetooth
Decent battery life for audio/video
available offline below £325
If all of these criteria can not be met I will wait for the M8. I said july in the poll but only because I predict by that time something will be out that can match these specs. Besides if it appears at cebit in march it seems likely to be on sale to the public by july.
I also am content with my phone, and will be waiting for a new phone until december anyway when verizon either gives me a new phone for new-every-two, or if we switch to at&t after our two year contract is up.
Will you now - as no working prototype is available - wait even longer?
for me: I quit the wait and will buy a phone of an other branch.
March in Germany - although I am German - is too late. I do not think they will be able to show a working prototype within two month, if they can not show a semi woring device right now.
What do you think? The most time consuming period is bug tracking and working on the final GUI. If they can not show a working prototype, the phone either will be ready on September or not good in quality (usability).
for normal: big branches show prototyps in January or February and you can be happy if they come out in October!
