Don’t waste your money!

these are some of the applications that people look for all time. What Aaron says is also a point you should consider.

ALP has an OS available right now that will run thousand of Palm applications.

Why not give them a call? Immediate use right out of the box of thousands of Palm applications (many of which work with Microsoft and Outlook) and ALP is begging for folks to use their OS. It is also Linux based.

Putting all of your eggs in the Android basket when it isn’t even commercially available at the moment is fool hardy and could be seen as a diversionary tactic.

If you want to use your own OS fine, say that and stick to it.

But ignoring what’s available now while promising something that will probably take many (many) months to come to fruition is why I can see Ctitanic (and others) questioning the validity of the company and the product.

I am over in China, and I just got my new zzzPhone in the mail, and was relieved to see that the rumors about this product’s credibility were false – what a cool phone! I purchased the base model, and the phone feels solid and looks great: mine is black with a metallic silver back (I bought the base model).

Turning it on, the bright LCD screen is quite large, and I was able to begin using the phone right away without a fuss. The menu is very intuitive and the controls are easy to use and operate. I like that I can use the keypad or the touch screen to enter information into the phone, and I can even use my finger to touch the screen to get around the menus. Writing messages and emails is very simple, as there is a full on-screen keyboard. I can use my stylus to operate the keyboard, and it really speeds up the time it takes to fill in online forms and send messages.

I quickly set up my phone book by copying all the contacts from my SIM card, and my Bluetooth hands free headset established a connection immediately and with no fuss. The overall call quality is good, and the range of my Bluetooth connection seemed to work to about 15 feet from the device, which is plenty for me to walk around my room without having to hold onto the device.

One of the coolest features of this phone is the dual Sim card feature. This means that I can put two SIM cards in the phone and both are simultaneously operational. I took the SIM from my work phone and my personal phone, and inserted them into the zzzPhone to test to see how well it worked (and was grateful to consolidate my numbers to one phone.) Incredibly, I was able to receive calls from both numbers at the same time; this will really help me out, as I hate having to juggle my work and personal calls on two phones.

My next task was to setup the Internet, which really wasn’t much of a task, since the phone automatically connected as soon as I entered ‘WAP’ in the ‘Services’ Folder. Browsing was easy, as I was able to search Google quite easily.

The phone and video functions were easy to manage. The overall quality of the pictures was good. I was especially impressed with the formatting options for the photos, as my other cell phone only takes one standard format, but with the zzzPhone, I was able to adjust color and lighting settings, as well as file size and image size settings. Another thing I like is that the speakers are really loud, and capable of replicating good music quality: easily loud enough for me to rock out on my lunch break. There is a ring-tone editor as well, and I played around with it until I managed to configure a simple rendition of “We Are the Champions”.

I was also able to port the device to my computer using the provided USB cable: copying images from my phone was a simple drag-and-drop procedure, and it was similarly easy to upload music onto the phone.

I’m going to play around with this phone a bit more, but right off the bat have to say it’s a nice product and I can still hardly believe the price I paid for this: just $149+$10 shipping.

I just contacted the VP of Marketing for zzzPhone, Matthew Hammond. He says that the first phones, which were ordered since the company’s launch early this month, have just shipped — no one in the US even has one yet.

He says that your claims of of his company being a scam a libelous. I hope your sources are ready to defend you in court.

But I’d give them the benefit of the doubt…
