So far, our coverage of Meizu’s WM-Powered iPhone clone has been limited to a report about the manufacturer’s CeBit booth - it was raided and closed due to some kind of copyright quarrel. So far, so good - now, Meizu’s CEO J Wong claimed the following release roadmap:

…a first cut of the M8 will arrive next month — along with plenty more pictures and details — but it’ll be a somewhat neutered rendition that features just 128MB of RAM and zero flash. October will bring the real deal, a 256MB baddie that rocks 8GB of storage for 2180 yuan, which works out to about $320…

I am sure that Meizu’s attempts to bring the device to the USA will lead to loads of litigation: Apple has never been too tolerant about product clones and has recently started to fight Psystar, a manufacturer of Mac clones.

As of now, little more is known - I’m waiting for news anxiously!

Should you own an AT&T-sourced Nokia phone, please head over to RCR Wireless immediately.

RCR reports that a class action lawsuit has been filed against Nokia, AT&T and a retailer called CommClub. The reason:

The class has suffered injuries in fact and lost money or property as a result of the … acts in that members of the class paid the purchase price for a brand new Nokia cellphone and instead received a used or reconditioned Nokia cellphone that was worth substantially less

Once again: if you have an AT&T Nokia phone (and purchased it at CommClub’s) - please get in touch. You could be using a refurbished device without knowing it. Should you plan to purchase a device now: stay clear of CommClub until the situation clears up!
