    All pictures are Miniplayer pictures, the description is the same as the Miniplayer one, but on the first picture there is:
    • excellent movie quality with 25-30 fps
    • support mini-SD card
    And the price isn't the same as Miniplayer one: 43.99 € for the 4GB version :D !

    So the seller uses Miniplayer's pictures and features, but doen't sell Miniplayers !
    You're pretty popular this morning, Dee Dee !

    It seems to be a fake, but using real Meizu images.

    Some obvious give-aways are that Meizu M6 has no support for mini SD, and that it can never be sold for that cheap.

    EDIT: xx-c was faster.

    Sorry, but put simply, No.

    They're definitely not the same. What makes you think they are?

    I guess he wanted to say they looked the same, talking about design only.

    But then he writes "probably is the same", in which case I think he's confusing it with OEM models such as those by Emgeton.

    dude, look at it ... NO

    The image is photoshopped, not to mention the blurring on the plug points!

    A rip off of a Meizu, which borrows design and GUI cues from Apple, who borrowed their GUI from Creative... What a small world

    I was buying it as the seller changed the pictures from M6 to cheap thing. His pictures are not stored at ebay-servers but at inkfrog.com, that's why he can change the pictures.
    The despription he gave was totally identic with the Meizu, that's why I thought it's a OEM. I was shocked as he changed the pictures and now show this piece of junk. In newer auctions he gave another description - totally different from the Meizu. As I were Ebay I would delete his account.
    I paid 64 Euros via paypal and got back 60 after complaint at paypal.
    there's one on german board get this cheap player. He said nothing works. The quallity is worst. The bundle cd has nothing to do with the player. The player formats itself from time to time.
    Buy this player ... if you hate yourself :D
