An online mobile phone vendor, called zzzPhone, has adapted the Dell model of customized, factory-direct computers for the mobile phone industry. zzzPhones aims to focus on feature phones with large touchscreens and customized features, offering competing devices to Nokia's N95, the Palm Treo and Apple's iPhone. zzzPhone has a near equivalent handset to the N95 that costs significantly less than Nokia's pricetag of $739: this zzzPhone costs just $149.
zzzPhone assures shoppers that it uses the "same high quality components" as major handset brands like Motorola, Nokia, Palm, and Samsung. The phones are unlocked, tri-band and can support two SIMs.
