We just had a hands on with this disastrous iPhone knock-off. The UI is like a pile of steaming poo, and the case is like...well, a pile of steaming poo. In general, we thought it was excrement-like—avoid like you would carcinogenic toxins if you were not a smoker. Stop smoking.

Hey, it's Windows Mobile 7!
Um, first of all, that's not even a phone, it's an MP4 player. And while it's not Apple quality, it's far from "Poo". As a music player, it's actually quite good for the price (around $100).
Well any hands on of this? is it the Meizu(sp)?
Dude i whent to a place in NJ i believe it was paterson for christmas, local stores down there have tons of the new fake Nanos and also the 2nd Gen ipods LOL, am suprise that they are allow to be sold in the US at all. i mean how the heck can you sync them to itunes or anything
@AGROS: no, it doesn't actually look like any of their numerous renders.
@Step666: Meizu was supposed to have 3 buttons though!
@Step666: yeah its the Meizu's offerings I want to see....
"Hey-zeus" phone!
Pure fuckery.
don't show video or anything...
@nakmario: Yah no video needed.
We'll just take your word for it.
Seriously, no video? WTF?
@jos: OMG is Meizu gonna sue this new dude's ass for putting three buttons on a iPhone knockoff?
I stop smoking everytime i finish a cigarette. People always tell me to stop smoking, and it sucks having to light up a cigarette, only to immediately extinguish it just to please their whims. And they are never satisfied with my stopping smoking! Something about twisting words.
Couldn't you at least put a brief description of the poo-interface?
@nutbastard: Every year my New Year's resolution is to quit smoking. Hey, no one ever said you had to quit something you actually do.
Thanks for telling me to stop smoking giz, now you remind me of my girlfriend. Also I'm seeing someone else, her name is engadget.
Looks like the Super Talent VIDEGO28. I saw an ad for it in a computer mag a week or so ago. Would really like to know what makes it so bad.
@Jawbreaker4Fs: A tree falls in the forest. Jawbreaker4Fs leaves Gizmodo. Nobody really gives a damn. Peace!
@AGROS: no, this isn't the meizu m8. check out meizume.com; meizu didn't take an m8 to ces. also, the m8 looks different, according to the most recent render.
@nintendoboy01: Chill out man, just having a little joke. Christ fanboys are annoying.
First of all, this isn't a phone at all, it's a simple MP4 player. I own it and it's a great little device for the money ($100). The interface is FAR from "poo". Take a look at mp4nation.com for more pictures.
Wait a couple months. It will be $29.95 after the $100 rebate. Makes a great gag... hide your girl friend's iPhone from her purse and plant this gadget under the rear wheel of her car just before she backs out of the driveway.
If I quit smoking, I will have no reason to sit at my PC and peruse Gizmodo first thing in the morning before I go to work.
@nutbastard:
true that
and besides, nobody likes a quitter
what would i do at break?...chew gum?
Hey dats Bill Gates' phone!!!
Told you guys last time this came up that all that knock-off stuff was utter crap.
What, no video of said pile of steaming poo?!?
