M8的ui交互架構經過我n多個夜晚苦苦思索後,已經找到了更簡潔更好用的架構,

After endless nights of deep thought about the M8 UI structure, I believe I have come up with a simpler and easier to use UI structure.

並已經把部分已完成的交互架構圖交給eico設計室製作,我們有信心交給大家更完美更滿意的m 8

I have also handed off the completed UI to eico, and we are confident we can meet the people's expectations for the M8.

內測會徵集論壇極少數有經驗的m友測試

We will gather a very select group of talented and experienced "m friends" (Meizu fans?) from the forums for internal testing.


公測會徵集大批的m友測試

A large group of "m friends" (Meizu fans?) will be gathered for the public testing.

Yes, m友 means "Meizu Fans" in Chinese. It's a local phrase here.

By the way, how do you get the news in Trad. Chinese?

Just use Google Translate It doesn't do a good job of translating to English, but it's fantastic at switching from Simplified to Traditional or vice versa. I find Simplified Chinese very difficult to read.

I would also like to be part of the test of the minione.

Yeah I think everyone on this site would like to be a tester... The only difference between myself and about 95%+ members on this site is that I would actually have a chance and none of you would.

The simple fact that I actually live in China would give me more guarantee and grounds to test it than most of you. Ha HA!

So bring it on Meizu and let me test it.

well I think Meizu might want to try outside of China in other countries as well as in China. I'm located in San Francisco, California, United States. They should test there phone in other countries so the name of Meizu and minione can get bigger and to also test there phones in other countries to see how they work.

I nominate Error as a tester. If he isn't offered to beta-test the M8 something is definatly wrong.

If we have any choice in this I'd rather not test the M8 cause the product doesn't interest me, just as the Iphone doesn't interest me. But if Meizu were to come out with a new version of the M6 in the same size as the exeisting M6 (maybe a little larger, but only a little) with a 16:9 screen and better resolution I'd be very honoured to test the product.

The sad fact about it though is that I don't think any of us would get to test it to be honest.

Maybe they will toss one someones way when it is about to be released, as a sign of good faith for helping out the company but I don't think any of us will get to test it.

Aww well

Meizu testers are usually required to write long evaluations in Chinese - something most of us (me included) are incapable of.

they should go with the times, imo english review from testers should be acceptable

Yeah, I think they should hire a native English speaker for the PR stuff that is done outside of China, and they should get a few people that can translate English to Chinese, that can translate Mr. Wong's postings etc. so the information is available in English too.
-> if they want to target Europe/America as a market, start speaking English. Good, understandable English. Also, they should test the devices outside China, if possible.

So far, they are only targeting outside China when releasing their products. And for that, they have their resellers, like Dane-Elec. Development is still done in China, with Chinese people and Chinese testers, don't see that changing anytime soon. Their doing pretty well without it, aren't they? We are the ones that want to have something to say about it.

How can I join in the testing panel? I grow up in both Hong Kong and the US, and I am fluent in Madarin, Cantonese and English. Also I know how to read and write both of them, and have done some amateur translating jobs for schools. Maybe Err0r can refer me to the company to be part of the panel? Pretty please

You could, of course, just send them an e-mail. Seems they are quite willing to read e-mails. Or go to the meizu bbs because there might be a thread somewhere about it.

Hey, parena. Thanks for the heads up.
