Overall Rating:
Pros: It's not a cheap chinese copy of the iphone, but has actually been in development for about 2 years. There have been a lot of firmware updates the past months, so there's a lot of support for this phone.
The screen is absolutely fantastic, as is the touch support. It's very fluid to work with.
As a music player, it gives you all you need, although the meizu M6 has better audio quality. Although this ain't bad either.
As a video player, this is perfect to me. It plays almost anything you throw at it, all kinds of formats.
For more pros, check the online reviews.
Cons: There still are some minor bugs in the firmware, but they're getting solved as we speak. After all, this phone hasn't reached firmware 1.0 just yet, so technically, we're all beta testers. But you can work with the phone, I use it on daily basis.
Other Thoughts: seems well made, quick processor, nice display, a lot of opportunities to offer.
Bottom: All in all, a good phone, screen quality & format support is better than iphone, and more applications are getting released as we speak. You have to be somewhat openminded though, because some submenus ( if you dig deep into the menus ) are in chinese, as are some applications. But even so, I find it an easy to use, and very well constructed phone.
