没有实体店的代理商是分不到m8货源的
前期实体店货源也紧张,大家不要期望有礼品送,一起监督他们不加价就好了

The dealer without the showroom is can't getting the m8 stock.
on early stage the showroom stock will be limited, everybody please not hope to getting the free gift and work together to monitor them no to increase the price.

m8目前是没有考虑开发费用只保持合理利润的定价
有人几百元买了一部手机就认为所有手机的成本都不超过这个价格，真是愚蠢
我都懒得解释
曾经有国外客户问我“深圳很多mp3都只要99元，为什么魅族要这么贵？”
我答曰：因为只是魅族！
M8 currently not consider the R&D cost, Only maintains the reasonable profit at the fixed price.
Some people use few hundred Yuan bought a handset to think that all handset's cost did not surpass this price, was really stupid, I am lazy to explain.
Once had the overseas customer to ask me “Shenzhen many mp3 player just need 99rmb, why the Meizu can be such expensive?”
I answered: Because it is Meizu!

thanks hope they will produce enought m8s in china for this first official release

Wow waja. What time is it over there in Malaysia? It's 5:30 AM here ~.~;

What's this "showroom" business about?

R&D - what is it?

about 9.45PM now，

"Showroom" is meizu dealer's showroom which sell mainly meizu product.

i think that stands for the 'Research and Developement' costs..

the agent without the real shop or store (not the shop on line) will not get the supply of m8.
actually, at the earlly stage of sales, even the real shops will be also very tight on suplly. so, please don't think about there are gifts given away. more practisely, we'd better stick together to supervise the agents from rising the price.

my translation isn't perfect, but better,haah.

thanks pholorick it does make sense in deed.

This isn't particularly good news for international customers. Firstly the quantities will be limited and only for sale in Meizu retail outlets secondly none of the internet stores will be holding stock. I personally think we will be waiting at least a good month until we start seeing the M8 available on international exporters websites.

300 Million RMB would mean around 35 Million Euro.

that can't be the R&D costs, they are way to high! (that was my first thought!)
after i read that Apple has nearly 20million$ in R&D costs for Mac OS X in just two quarters , i think it might be true that meizus M8 R&D costs over 2 years are around 44mio$

R&D can be pretty expensive, so I think 35 million Euro might be right.

Apple is AFAIK pretty cost efficient when doing their R&D.

Dont forget that they, okay also, begin from scratch and ditch a processor, just compare the specs they had in the beginning and the feature that made it actually into the real phone that we all long for...
