M8, please, hurry up

springo

Hi,
I was sick and tired of waiting for M8 so I had decided to buy an iPhone 3G. After seeing how much they want to charge me each month I loled and changed my mind. I want M8 again. But I want a release date. Or else I'm going to have to buy an LG or a N95 or whatever, because Meizu released their first renderings a year ago, and there's still no M8 on the shelves. I think they're taking way too long.
I just wanted to share this thoughts.

Well, I can try asking Yankee C. if he know anything else we don't know. I need anyway to know if he is left on holidays or not.
Last time I did write with him he said the M8 will be out in September.
But all the changes we have seen in these days it might be possible they have added more delays.

One thing, I would never buy a 3G Iphone, because I hate Itunes and the sound quality will properly be less good than Meizu.

I agre that this takes to long.
still I am not thinking of buying a iPhone.

I will wait how long it takes.

M47Z

face it, people, no matter how good any IPhone will ever be, it's still something for the big mass, and I want something special that is not used by everybody.

I understand those who buy IPhones, but I will never.

I have to agree with M47Z 110%. It would be nice to have a phone that is different than what a lot of other people have. The dickheads over at Engadget (Ryan Block) think the iPhone is the second coming of Jesus. Like when everyone has an iPod, it's nicer to have a Creative or a Cowon or something other than an iPod.

Yes, you're right, but there's also another kind of discussion.

Why you musn't buy a GOOD product (for someone ipod, iphone and other) if all the people has it? because you want somethinf that is different?

I think that also this kind of though is strange....

I agree with Steave and m47z totally. The main reason I bought my Creative Zen is because I hate how EVERYONE has an Ipod. I wanted to be differnet. In my eyes, the Zen is way better then a Ipod.

I can understand that for a media player, although personally I do not care, I (try to) judge electronic devices on features, price and design (in this order), not exclusivity or popularity.
However, for a smartphone, PDA or any programmable device, this is different: the more the platform is popular, the more it is worthy, as a lot of value comes from the developper comunity and the software it provides. Especially if they comes for free or very low prices, and are of high quality (this is not mutally exclusive).
Of course, you could get both exclusivity associated to low diffusion and a huge developper base, as long as there is compatibility with a common OS/SDK. That's where Windows mobile is great, and android, if it succeed, even more so (being opensource). Thats where iPhone lacks, because only iPhone is compatible with OsXmobile...succes of the platform automatically imply non-original phone.
For me a common phone is not a problem if it is good (and good value). It is the fact that soft distribution is controlled by Apple that bugger me, it is the more closed platform of the 3 that are of interest to me. Grrr, Apple is such a control freak that I really really try to find something else before buying one of their programable device (Mac, iTouch or Iphone). Their Media players are ok though, as long as they play common format and do not force DRM on me
