    Has m8 edge or gprs?

    Havn't been able to find this out, they're being mentioned both on this forum, but on the spesifications from meizu it says only gprs.
    If I'm not mistaken, gprs is < 5 kb/s, and edge is 20kb/s... ?

    The "official" launch version has only GPRS, but the "test" versions had EDGE that was accessible through a software crack.

    No no, Edge is still present! The difference between the official and the test version is that the first one is only dual-band.

    I don't understand. Is the final version or the test version dualband? On meizu site it states dualband for final version. (900,1800mhz
    )

    I think it's something to do with not licensing it with the Chinese government?

    If it has a blue sticker in the battery compartment, then it is not quad-band.
