You could fault the infamous M8 for being eons late; you could fault it for shipping without a quadband EDGE / WiFi / 3G version; you could fault it for dancing in and out of the straight-up iPhone ripoff arena from its very inception; you could fault it for being really hard to find and buy outside of China. Most of that bellyaching can't be solved with a few tweaks here and there, but that's not stopping Meizu from whipping up a facelifted M8 SE with a few carefully-planned changes here and there. As far as we can tell this isn't the
3G remake we've all been waiting for, rather just a handful of minor touch-ups to keep the original model fresh for a while longer: better signal strength, an easier-to-use SIM slot, new firmware, and new packaging, just to name a few. Sounds like it'll be shipping for 1,999 yuan (about $293) in China, which would actually make this a nearly-perfect midrange
unlocked Android set.

I read from a Chinese forum that M8 uses WinCE as the OS. The post also stated that WinCE was not suitable for mobile phones, duo to the lack of voice communication layers, and Meizu spent a lot of time and effort developing those layers.
How true is that?
P.S. My team is working on an industrial PDA that features both GSM voice and data communications. We are going to use WinCE 6.0.
does anyone know if meizu M8 holds virgin or vodafone sim cards?
please reply if you know what your talking about!! and especially if you know the answer!!
that would be a MASSIVE help!!
thanks
