After having dug to a depth of 10 meters last year, Scottish scientists found traces of copper wire dating back 100 years and came to the conclusion that their ancestors already had a telephone network more than 100 years ago.

Not to be outdone by the Scots, in the weeks that followed, English scientists dug to a depth of 20 meters, and shortly after, headlines in the London newspapers read: "English archaeologists have found traces of 200 year old copper wire and have concluded that their ancestors already had an advanced high-tech communications network a hundred years earlier than the Scots."

One week later, "The Western Mail," a Valleys Welsh newspaper, reported the following: "After digging as deep as 30 meters in peat bog near Tony pandy, Dai Digger Davies, a self taught archaeologist and eminent worrier of sheep, reported that he found absolutely nothing. Taffy has therefore concluded that 300 years ago Wales had already gone wireless."

Not satisfied with the iPhone’s camera? Wish LG’s Viewty had a larger screen? Think your Nokia looks a bit ordinary? Well, one manufacturer will now make you a handset to order, built from the chipset upwards, with all the features you want, for an eye-popping price.

Just as Dell Computers revolutionised the computer industry with mass-customised factory-direct PCs in the 1990s, a new service by zzzPhone delivers factory-direct custom mobile phones.

Customisation starts with customers choosing a base model and a custom pattern or colour for the mobile phone case; standard features such as a beautiful extra-large touch screen panel and dual SIM card slots are immediate standouts. Next, customers may add various features such as GPS navigation, a second front-facing camera, and even a flashlight. Various upgrades are available as well, such as; 4GB memory, stereo quality speakers, and even a 5 or 7 mega pixel camera with a high quality processor. Customers can also select from a range of accessories such as Bluetooth headsets and handsfree car kits, and can even have their favourite music and movies pre-installed at the factory so their new phone is ready to use when it arrives at the door.

Since zzzPhones are tri-band and unlocked, these phones work with almost any mobile carrier service worldwide. Simply swap the SIM card into a zzzPhone and even pair a second SIM card to allow two phone numbers to be used at the same time on the same phone; especially useful for international travellers and individuals who want to separate business from personal phone expenses.

To make this service even more accessible to the public you can customise your new phone online using Phone builder and see what your customised phone my look like. You can see the new phone builder at our website zzzPhone Phone builder here
