Unified Telecom, the people behind the zzzPhone in the US (Mexico, Argentina, Canada, Bahamas) have launched an affiliate marketing offering so anyone can sell zzzPhones from their site.
This is the second stage of growth for zzzPhone. They’ve launched two new models today and they are rather good looking.
One runs on the Nucleus OS (ZED 1.1), the other Windows Mobile (ZED 1.2).
The ZED 1.2 handset features is more of a business phone featuring a full keyboard, GPS, WIFI, 2.5in Touch screen, Windows Mobile 6.0 Professional and a 2 megapixel camera. This is the one I’d buy, I think. It starts at $349 but can be customised with some shockingly cool upgrades.
The ZED 1.1, is the updated version of the one I bought (it works in the States too) and starts at $149 and offers TV and an FM radio tuner as well as a 3″ touchscreen.
Jesse of Unified tells me that 140 affiliates have already notified their interest — interest affiliates get a special deal (buy both new handsets, get a video spot and a 7 inch monitor) along with an array of useful information, marketing designs, brochures, banners and so on. If they don’t have a website, Unified will help out there too.
You can order from here and find out more about their affiliate scheme here.
I find this boutiquey and I really like the idea of it. I don’t know if I would personally go for it but it’s nice to see these options.
