After what feels like centuries of waiting (and suffering through that painful CeBIT demo), we finally get to see the Meizu M8’s OS in action… and it’s not as bad as you think. Sure, the interface is totally derivative of the iPhone, and there is that pesky cursor floating around, but all-in-all it looks like the company has managed to knock out a decent — if incredibly familiar — UI for its long-delayed phone. Still, there’s some low rent hilarity in this video. Our favorites? The smattering of soft porn pictures and video, and Meizu CEO and all-around bon vivant Jack Wong revealed in a reflection… wearing a face mask! Check the clip after the break (and freeze frame of Mr. Wong).
Update: Despite our excitement about Jack Wong in a face mask, some readers have pointed out (and we agree) that it’s actually the camera he’s using to film the video.
[Thanks, Patrick P.]

We pretty much gathered that the 6650 was real from that page on Nokia’s domain that has since been pulled, but if there was any lingering doubt, this should take care of it. The specs here confirm what Nokia had spilled — most importantly, that the radio is rocking HSDPA on the 850 and 1900MHz bands, just what the doctor ordered to get some action on AT&T. A quick perusal of the manual shows that it’s N-Gage compatible, though we were a bit surprised to see mentions of video calling; our guess is that they just haven′t updated it for AT&T’s inexplicable aversion to that particular feature yet. It’ll also feature S60 3.2, so if you’re in the States and S60 is how you roll, this puppy’s got to be on your short list. Our money is on it getting official at CTIA next week.
