Phone calls and messaging
Let’s start with the raw facts. The GSM module in Meizu M8 is only dual-band (900/1800 MHz), we can use GPRS or EDGE for data transfer, so there is no 3G. I couldn’t find any official info about the Bluetooth version number, it’s probably 2.0, and what’s a good news is that it can be used for transferring files, we can send them from Documents, also it’s not easy to find it at first. There is 802.11b/g WiFi support as well, I had no problems with that.
Unfortunately sound quality during calls is not the best. I have heard everyone perfectly, but there have been a couple of people complaining about a stuttering voice and occasional drop-outs, so something’s not okay. Still, we get some clever solutions, for example the display is turned off when we put the handset to our ears, and the software side is quite advanced as well. We can store as many contacts in the phonebook as we want, we can assign images to them, and there are extra fields as well (label, company, e-mail, address, QQ, MSN, website, birthday, note). It’s very useful that there are groups as well, in which we can freely put our contacts. Unfortunately we can’t disable sending our called id during calls, but there is a blacklist, where we can put those people who we would like to avoid talking to.
Some syllabification problems appear even in the menu
There are some problems with messaging as well. The first thing that there is MMS support, it’s great, we’ve been freaking shocked by that. But it hasn’t been such a pleasant thing that the e-mail client software could set up only POP3 servers – fortunately this is just a software bug, as theoretically we should be able to choose IMAP4 as well. SMS support is not the best one either; on one hand there is a problem with contacts, the contact ID is not always displayed, we get to see only a number, so messages won’t get to the same folder where the sent ones are. As there is a chat-like view as well, but it’s lame that the software breaks up words randomly, which makes reading them a hard thing, not mentioning that messages sent by us are under a huge Device hostlabel.
