I don't know about Ecogsm, but zzzPhone has a completely different mission. They have set out to revolutionize the cell phone field by releasing this phone and allowing distribution to the whole world. The phones work all over and are unlocked. I have heard from an email they sent out, that they also have Android in the works to be released in June 08. The first phones are being released soon, and I will have mine Monday.

These Chinese phones have flooded the market where I live (India) at ridiculously low prices. A guy at the office has one that has a giant screen and terrestrial TV reception(!) and he got it for about $137 retail. The brands are irrelevant, and nobody seems to care. What is common to all these phones is that they run the exact-same OS (if you want to call it that). They are touchscreen and have the same silk-screened buttons at the bottom. They come in various shapes, sizes, colours, configurations, but are essentially identical. Shitty WAP/xHTML browser and no Java as far as I can tell. They will do MP3, video (not sure what format) and sometimes run NES ROMs. Eco123, zzzPhone—all the same stuff, sold in bulk. Strangely, despite our super-cost-sensitive market, not too many people are buying. They consider them disposable/cheap. Some only use them with headsets for fear of spontaneous combustion.
