wifi: a myth?

Hey,
I've often read that there will be no wifi in the M8 soon. But look at meizu.com. There is also the internet in the specifications. I think if they realy put wifi out, they would delet it from their website.

Or understand I something wrong?

greets,

Sorry, but you are mistaken. Mobile connectivity is still possible through EDGE or GPRS networks.

thanks,
but the m8 have it, have'nt it? I thougt the wifi is for the internet... or it is just something lik bluetooth to connect to other devices and the computer? is the gprs enough?

Greets,

Yes, the M8 has Wifi, but officially, it does not because of some legal problem in China. A hack has been released to reveal the Wifi capability.

was the hack released by meizu?

I'm not too sure, but most likely not.

Also, the Wi-Fi is only on the test units. The official production units might or might now make it with Wi-Fi.

what is the main difference between wifi, EDGE and 3G? (i couldnt find out on wikipedia)

And which one does the meizu m8 have access to? (i always assumed it was neither, with wifi only as an unlockable)

3G is a type of wireless hi-speed internet for cellular devices. It goes about ~250kb/s.

EDGE is a type of wireless hi-speed internet for GSM phones. It goes about ~20Kb/s. It operates under a cellular network.

Wi-Fi is a type of wireless networking for computer, peripherals, mobile devices, and even game consoles. It is extremely versatile and implemented everywhere. The maximum speed is ~300Mb/s for the 802.11n standard.

Seriously, read at least some of the thread before posting something.

im really sorry, this jargon is not my forté, i dont think that deserved bad rep

It's not mine either, but after being around here for a while you just kinda pick up that the Meizu M8 test units don't have Wi-Fi, EDGE, or 3G. With the cracker, Wi-Fi and EDGE can be activated.

As for the official release version of the M8, we're not sure yet.

i knew there was no 3g and wifi was activatable, but i wasnt sure about the EDGE, or what it was. (speeds and specs of the various connections)

on a more serious note, i now understand why everyone was unhappy why ifi was removed, even though they still could use EDGE.

ok thx...

thread closed

Only for the second part. Just read several posts above yours to see mine... So there was no need to ask which one the M8 had access to.
