Today JW posted a bunch of messages over at the chinese bbs. He also made a few pictures with the M8's camera. Here they are:






I would appreciate it someone would translate the posts. Here's a topic with all of the newest replies.
Thanks!

Wow, those are nice! (the pictures)

It's a 3.0 MP, right? Hey, those aren't half bad! I bet they look even better on the device itself though (\(^o^)/)!

Nice, not bad at all for a mobile camera. Indoor pictures might always be a bit more difficult to take, but still good if you ask me.
Isn't that last picture taken behind a window or so?
Might be the reason why it's more unshaped than the others.
At last we get some fresh stuff, nice

Translated (all J.Wong's words):

- the pictures i trimmed the sides a bit, coz it was too large. overall, the quality is pretty good, isnt it?
- software for m8 is not yet finalized so no news on that
- we decided that m8 8gb 256mb RRP 2580 yuan, and they said they only make 240yuan or sonething... after the tax etc. (what the)
- we gave up the 128mb version, all releases will be 256mb
- final prices are not made by the financial team, it is made by me. they are just some additional sources that i can look onto.
- my strategy is: sell at acceptable price -> match or beat the mainstream prices -> maintain a long time of no price-increase.
- replace small commission with mass sales, replace mass sales with product make up, replace time with space
- understand? (i sort of do... lol)

- the picture quality isnt the greatest here, as i (j.wong) was not using the newest firmware version (hence the sideways picture orientation, as he explains).
- the sound quality is good too, new earphones way better then PT850
- the overall look and feel is better then any phone i've played with (namely nokia and their n73)

#plz forgive if i translated wrong, but thats the best i can. i think its 99% right.

Hey, I've got a question. Will there still be a 16GB model?

ydm_ydm

I think there still be

Wait, so in iversonjack's translation, the 256 and 128 reffers to RAM, right?

And wtf is with the price? Seriously, this thing is more expensive than the god damn iphone...

Also, is the initial release still not gonna have 3g/3.5g? If thats the case, I see absolutely no reason to buy one. And that's disappointing, because I was really interested in this from early on...

About 250 Euro for the M8, how much is a iPhone thing?
