Cool Enter the customizable phone!!


"Just as Dell Computers revolutionized the PC industry in the 1990's with customized, factory-direct computers, we are the world's first customized cell phone manufacturer., a Our factory-direct prices make our phones cheaper than our leading competitors even without a mobile carrier contract! Our American owned factory in Shenzhen, China operates alongside the largest cell phone manufacturers in the world using high quality components from many of the same suppliers used by leading brands such as Motorola, Nokia, Samsung, and Palm. We strive to produce the highest quality cell phones in the world at factory direct prices. Factory-direct, unlocked cell phones make great replacement cell phones; compare cell phones from leading manufacturers to our cool cell phones, you will find that zzzPhones surpasses any current manufacturer's cell phone ratings."

Thats from the site- http://www.zzzphone.com/index.php

the zzz phone is a new chineese phone in which u can customize the features u want and drop the ones u dont need. forexample, u can add GPS and remove the camera if u wish. I jus read this article in Deccan Chronicle. This is a made-to-order phone, so u shud pay up first and then theyll manfacture ur phone and ship it to u!! It runs on windows mobile. Lets see if the idea catches up among the other phone manfacturers too!!

I think it's just another fake money making scam! Here are the reasons why I think so:

Reason 1.

When you do a whois lookup, it clearly shows that the domain was just registered on Jan2008 for just 1year! upto Jan2009 and it is registered under the name of an individual called "Lawrence Horowitz" who lives in the United states but hosts the website on a rogue Chinese server!

Contradiction: No big company registers their domain name for just 1 year and especially in the name of an individual who lives in a different country.

Whois Information:

Registrant:
lawrence horowitz
3773 howard huges parkway 390n
las vegas, Nevada 89109
United States

Domain Name: ZZZPHONE.COM
Created on: 05-Jan-08
Expires on: 05-Jan-09
Last Updated on: 05-Jan-08

Administrative Contact:
horowitz, lawrence
mainc123@yahoo.com
las vegas, Nevada 89109
United States
18005073930

Technical Contact:
horowitz, lawrence
mainc123@yahoo.com
3773 howard huges parkway 390n
las vegas, Nevada 89109
United States
18005073930

Domain servers in listed order:
NS43.DOMAINCONTROL.COM
NS44.DOMAINCONTROL.COM





Reason 2.>

Quote:
John Biggs over at CrunchGear has been talking to the zzzPhone guys for a story he was writing for the NYT, and in the process found out a few new facts about the handset. They also sent him some images of the final hardware, as opposed to the renders on their site. It turns out that the zzzPhone - which you can customise from a basic model up to a GPS, mobile TV and WiFi superphone - doesn’t actually run Windows Mobile at all but, in John’s opinion, some sort of Linux-based OS with Java compatibility.

Reason 3.>
