Meizu M8 3G

someone knows when the Meizu m8 3g?

Meizu aren't the best at keeping release dates. Even if you had a date, it wouldn't be something to go on.

I believe the current M8 was supposed to be released in 2007 Q4.

The Meizu 3G will take quite some time to come out but it will probably depend on the the success of the original m8. First in china, then abroad, to see how succesful it is. then the 3G will be releaesed

The M8 3G will probably come out by Q2 of 2010

I reckon you are right Blah. I reckon going by previous experience, it will be release in may of 2010

Well this time they are far ahead on the software. And in the news lately there were lots of talk about one chip systems. That is one single chip handles gms,edge,3g,wifi,bluetooth, wimax, gps.... So that might be a big time saver as well and make thing a lot cheaper.

Yeah, based on these factors my guess is that the 3G Meizu M8 will be released within 6 months after the release of the regular Meizu M8.

I do not think it takes both to get the Meizu m8 3g, it may be that at Christmas or after it brought out

Add another 6 months for delays and unexpected hardware problems.

And don't forget the redesign of the case a few times, and then the inevitable redesign of the GUI too

Are you kidding? There is one chip that has all of those?!?

I think the 3G version will be on sale soon. I don't think that they will redesign UI, maybe some changes in case.
They've a M8, so they only have to make some changes, not a new device.

I want this design ;( (not the UI)

I am rather curious about the possibility of having Tegra (nvidia's SoC) as the processor of the next version. I asked about that before but nobody seems to know. If the numbers for tegra chips are correct, the battery life would be extremely good as well.

But I think chances are not that great. Microsoft is rumored to partner with Nvidia to work on tegra-based smartphones.I don't know how the industry works but don't think meizu can get ahead of the big boys in the line for those chips.

If Meizu continues to use Microsoft products when developing their own products then I see no reason for Microsoft to stand in the way of Meizu utilizing the processors. Think about it. It's all good for Microsoft as Meizu have to pay to use Windows on their mobiles. Either way, Microsoft still gets paid.

i definitely agree but my statement was about mostly nvidia not microsoft. nvidia might prefer bigger players like microsoft, motorola, lg at the expense of meizu.

Hm...
And maybe a haptic screen?

That would be awsome. Haptic, who would have known...

Let's make this the 3G thread. I'll copy my 3G posts here. Hope no one gets upset.
