The Meizu M8, famous for essentially being a Chinese iPhone, will launch in China on November 30 and eventually trickle over to our shores for the holidays. The camera runs Windows Mobile and includes a 3-megapixel camera, FM radio, and EDGE. It will also have Wi-Fi in some areas and cost $348 and $421 in the 8GB and 16GB models, respectively.

I’m totally done with Meizu. I’ve seen this lump in person and now that they’ve confirmed that it will run Windows Mobile, even deliciously improved to look more Apple-y, I can safely say this will be a dud.

Expect these on eBay for about $250 (“WOW L@@K! IPHONE CLONE BUY IT NOW!”) and then expect them to disappear.
