I mean..
>500MHz
720x480 x 24bpp screen
integrated storage >8GB
Windows Mobile 6
WCDMA and GSM
and it starts at $195?
is this some kind of fantasy?
It is real, but it is far from $195, closer to $800. According to them it is scheduled to come out in December but you won't see it until next year.
May i remind you that i've never heard of Meizu before, its a newcomer, expect bugs and even shortcuts...

Meizu has been making MP3 players ( http://en.meizu.com/ ) for 4 years, but that's true: they hasn't made any Windows CE based device ever, until now.
I supose this Phone has Windows CE 6.0 Core, and own GUI so it can be uncompatible with Windows Mobile 6 stuff (CE 5.2)
They are offering another Iphone clone for 169 Euros in the NL. The CECT Clone. So the pricing could be correct.
This will run probably CE 5.2 so we can take all the goodies we have to this phone and from this phone!

Yes, As I read it doesn't run WM6 but Windows CE 6.0 under a special miniOne GUI so it can't run conventional Pocket PC apps. Unless the miniOne GUI only an app which runs on WM6 but I haven't read about this anywhere, so it isn't likely.
It can run most PPC apps, that's real.
Yeah, multitouch and USB Host / Client
now that's what i call an iPhone killer :O
the functions / ui of the apple phone + the things i love about wm (great community, so much programs, etc.)
I just stopped into a Meizu store today (I live in china) and saw this phone and heard of it for the first time. It looks very cool though. The price is around $350 US and has 8GB and is multi-touch. I think I want one
it definitely looks as the best PMP player and phone together.
if only it could run WM apps, it would rock..
Apps on Meizu
I got my hands on one of these devices and it is pretty slick. There are still lots of bugs in the os, but new versions are still being put out there. It sucks that it does not run WM apps. I have found 2 that work. Coreplayer and TCPMP run well on it, but really are not needed because the integrated player works well.
I am hoping someone will develop a Windows Mobile rom that will run on this device. It would really rock.
i really want this phone. It may not be an HTC phone but Meizu has some big potential.

Hi
I've tryed a few OpenGL games on my HD2, and i'm wondering, will we see major titles developed on Windows Mobile devices? Or is this just an Apple thing for now?
Some of the games (Xtract and so on) are really the same quality as iPhone games, and run just as smooth in my opinion.
But do we know anything about if there will be a bigger marked for these games in the near future?
Depends on what Windows Mobile 7 delivers. If its a worthy iphone and android touch friendly competitor then the future is bright. If we get another ugly hack like 6.5.x then I doubt it.
Moved as not software release..

In article is also mentioned that it will be ported on other mobile platforms. I hope they also meant windows mobile in that.

officially impossible.
non-officially: talk to the ROM chefs to come up with a decent cooked ROM
OmniaHD? Way to downgrade.
Symbian S60 is god-awful, especially S60V5.. what were they thinking? It's so locked down. Give me my WinMo and cooked rom flexibility any day of the week!
Actually, there was an insider ROM for WM7 which was used by Microsoft for showoff reasons.
But it is prolly gonna be like Cobalt for the Tungsten T3 - it will never leak out...
IIRC, the phone used by microsoft was different to the Omnia I8910HD. It did however look very similar, but the case was different at least. (That doesn't mean it wasn't one, but I doubt it, and expect it to simply be a ad hoc demo device, apposed to a ROM that will never be released).
On a side note, I do agree, S60 is somewhat crap, I can't stand the full screen QWERTY keyboard, and is very locked down. It can be hacked to run some apps from the OVI store etc though, like OVI maps (about the only good thing). But then again, it does shoot good quality video.
iv'e been waiting for the next SPB Mobile Shell to come out for download. does anybody know when it's going to be available? i have 3.5 but i really want 5.0. there was an article that came out in february about it coming to android, symbian and wm but i still haven't seen a download for it. any thoughts??
I just got an update mail by SPB yesterday and I thought: "yes, MS5.0 is out!!"
And then I read that it was only a 3.5.5 update for Symbian.....
i believe this platform won't be released until winter. main reason is the launch for all major device OS, instead of just wm6.0 +, now windows phone 7, android, nokia Symbian, iphone 3 &4 ++ compatibility. i don't understand why they jumped over version 4, and instead called it 5.0! it makes no sense!! SPB makes solid products, it doesn't really matter how long it takes to release because you know what your buying is going to perform like a champ. also if sales are still strong for 3.5 why end a strong line up in marketing.

I thought it was a Russian Company
Besides if it is out they are trying to keep it a secret.... only 3.5.5 on their website
lol de wolf ... i did the same exact thing. i was like..yes finally! but when i found out it wasn't,i still downloaded that version thinking..maybe there's something new thrown in. if there is..i can't tell.lol
Did SPB close their Forums? I use to go there and lately I cannot link up? Thanks!
im just hoping our version doesnt get dropped in favour of total wm7 support.......i really enjoy having spb 3.5 running along side CHT. by the way, what does the new version have to offer?, anyone know...?
I think that there will not be a SPB mobile Shell 5.
Windows Phone 7 is born, and htc is going to Android.
So Wimo 6.5.X is not in good health.....

spb 5 whil come since its for wimo 6.5 and android devices plus also symbian and dekstop here is spb 5 running on nexus
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sS_aQKJ-Zc8
Still no news?
Considering this was announced in faburary it makes no sense to hold back the other platforms while waiting for others to be released. SPB won't be allowed by MS to run this on WP7, it will be on WM6 only.
I was initially excited as this could have made me switch from Sense UI to spb shell 5 on my HTC HD2, but they have taken so long I think I'll already switch to WP7 before shell 5 is out.
It's over 7 months since it was announced, why did they bother until they were ready?
Here is a link I found for more info and a video of SPB Shell 5

Since Microsoft doesn't bring out anything new or exciting to the Windows Mobile 6.5 and its Windows Phone 7 being in the 'beta-like' stage with no apps to do everything like in Android yet, its Android meanwhile.

simply OPEN SOURCE CODE based on LINUX.....i don´t need anymore....
WM is dying, but it still has some awesome games, Quake, Pocket UFO, Civilisation, Crayon physics so ill continue to use it.
Android is currently the closest thing to what WM was (With bonus spying and adds from Google) and it is fun to play around with and visually stimulating. Hopefully one day some of the awesome games can be remade/ported for android.

That's an easy one for me, I got an HTC HD2 with WinMo 6.5 and had many problems almost all related to the OS. I flashed it to Windows Phone 7 (Thanks, XDAdevelopers!) and liked it even less.
I flashed an Android 2.2xx NAND and flashed an Android boot screen and the phone is now very close to perfect for my use!
You can go to the T-Mobile forums and read non-stop complaints about just how bad the HD2 really is but it's all the OS, once changed to Android, it's a great phone. Of course Android can't fix the phone's two major problems which are no 4G and no WiFi calling but that's hardware limitations.
Simply I hate Windows World, open-source rules!!!!!!!!!
Not ready yet...

This exactly. To add to that, Win 7 also lacks the customization available in Android. Half the dev team in my IT department have Win Phone 7's because they're MS junkies (and I say that with love lol) but the other half have Android phones because it gives them more control over their mobile platform.
Personally, if Win Phone 8 is enough of an improvement, and Nokia comes out with a good phone running it, on Verizon, I'll be very tempted to switch... The Office integration would be a huge benefit to me for work purposes.
