Fully Customizable Cell Phone or Vaporware

zzzPhone (or Sleep Phone?) intends to offer fully customizable phones. Starting at $149 you can add an array of features which include speakers, 3, 5 or 7 megapixel cameras, two SIM card slots, a water resistant layer, gold accents, 4 stereo speakers and much, much more. Apparently, they’ll even preload the device with legally purchased movies, music and software. Sound a little to grandiose to be true? I’d say so. The guys at GearLog spoke with the folks running zzzPhone and they declined to give operating system specifics and even their own names! They’ve got a website up with a ‘configurator’ where you can view your mods. The phone appears to of the Samsung ilk, but since they’re based out of China it could be any level knock off. I looked up the WhoIs info, and the domain is registered to Lawrence Horowitz based out of Las Vegas. A Google search brought up zero info.

This is a scam. I ordered a unit more than two months ago. After repeated inquiries and requests for my purchase they sent me a low quality product with the logo ZZZPhone spray painted on it, and the plastic case feels like its goin to break anytime.
In the specs I had the option of including a torchlight, FM, GPS, Wi-fi, and bluetooth. Here is what I got:-
1. Torchlight was stick on.
2. No FM.
3. No Wi-Fi.
3 Bluetooth does not work.
4. GPS software(Navione) was in Chinese.
STAY AWAY FROM THIS COMPANY. IT IS A TOTAL RIPOFF.
