The M8 was built to capitalize on news of the iPhone and was announced as the MiniOne just weeks after Apple's handset was revealed in early 2007. However, the device has experienced multiple delays following hardware design changes and attempts to both duplicate and modify an iPhone-like interface.

Meizu's long-in-production M8 phone could be available in a month's time, company head J. Wong has told visitors to its company forum (link may be broken as of press time). Although suspected of releasing in December, the M8 is now said by the executive to be nearing a launch in late October or early November. Pricing is less definitive but is now heading towards the equivalent of an unsubsidized $350 in the phone's home country of China following Wong's canvassing of the community for a price it would accept.
