I could come up with the same and say something else for example.

Yes I can do that. Here is the last message he did left me on MSN
Hope this is enough for you. Remember I don't talk with Mr. Wong this time.

This is another new guy.

"Hi The Torminator!

If someone knows about the release date it's only themselves who know it for sure,
and you should trust them if they finally report it. I do!
I you don't that's just fine with me.

I will now go to ask him about the date is real or not.
We want to be sure, right?

The real die-hards have potentially waited 17 months for this thing to come out anyway. One or two months difference isn't going to matter anything. Waiting for it has spanned a significant part of my life :P

Besides, I honestly don't think Meizu has a clue for themselves when this thing is going to be released atm. They're probably estimating as much as we do right now. Don't worry, we'll see what they have been able to produce at some point in time.

dusl is right on this one

If it does end up being released in August/September, how long do you think it would take for it to be available for shipping to foreign markets? I'm in the US, and while I bought my M6 from Jarmarc, a trustworthy seller, I'm not sure I'd feel secure about getting an M8 on Ebay. Any thoughts?

I thought I saw somewhere that JWong said only meizu will be selling not middle man stores. I'm not sure though But I too will like to know.

charlie · 05-20-2008

Yes, I would like to buy from Meizu directly.

Also I will say that I trust Mr. J Wong (peace be upon him).

I believe that the M8 will be aviable very fast here in Europe/USA.
Look, the most people that have been waiting for so long are NOT chinese, so they will try to make the M8 aviable in other countries as fast as possible.
Another reason is that, if it will be only sold by Meizu, they will have to make it aviable somewhere else, because otherwise there would be some great middle man selling to Europe/USA.

I hope the eBay sellers will get the M8 very quickly, because I like the €-$ rate

!

The thing is, it will be very difficult for them to find an 'official' reseller in the US, or anywhere else where Apple has an official presence, due to the copyright issues involved. So whereas you could get the M6 at Walgreen's under the Dane-Elec brand name, no such arrangement will be possible unless the MiniOne undergoes massive changes in the appearance and UI departments, which is unlikely at this stage.

So it seems like Ebay will be the only option for a lot of people. The thing is, I'm already having trouble finding a 16GB samsung p2 on ebay, which is already being sold in Canada, and Asia too, obviously. Maybe some will show up over the summer, but that would mean a 3 month delay, minimum. Can we expect the same for the MiniOne, or is it more likely that some enterprising Chinese/Singaporean/Taiwanese Ebayers will be able to hook us up with these pretty soon after launch?

Also, what's this about ordering directly from Meizu? Will they ship to the US and other Western markets? where can I get some more info on this? Thanks.

Well if they are going to release it in September they must have all the spec. worked out by now. Do we really know what is going to be included in the M8?
