Price: $49.99
The Z2 is the hottest, easiest way to stay connected with ALL your friends! No more worrying about tying up, or being tied to, the family computer to stay in touch. The Z2 can be used anywhere there is a wireless network (Wi-Fi) - at home or at friends' houses, at over 9,000 McDonald's restaurants in the U.S., or at thousands of free public Wi-Fi hotspots.
The Z2 enables you to send Instant Messages and Text Messages to any buddy on any device. The IM feature works seamlessly with any IM account on AOL/AIM, Yahoo, or MSN while the Text feature lets you keep in touch with all your friends’ cell phones. You can have multiple conversations – IM and Text – simultaneously. In fact, you can message with up to 99 friends all at the same time. Also, the color screen and backlit keyboard make it easy to message in the dark…like at night, in a closet, or underneath the bed covers.
To activate the device, Zipit offers two simple, affordable Service Plans that give you UNLIMITED IM and Text Messaging, plus access to live internet radio, cool backgrounds for customizing your Z2, and more. The Monthly Service Plan is only $9.99 per month while the Annual Service Plan is $109.89 for a full year of service – the equivalent of getting one month free versus the Monthly Service Plan. With Zipit, you never have to worry about texting overages, hidden fees, or surprise monthly bills. Just unlimited messaging at an affordable price that’s easy to understand.
Also, the Z2 is safe & hassle-free to use! With the Z2 it's impossible to get unwanted messages from strangers. Plus you won't be bothered by all the problems of the PC. With the Z2, there's no software to load, no long boot times, and no spam or viruses to worry about.
There's more!
The MyTunez™, built-in MP3 player lets you listen to your favorite tunes while you IM and text message. The Z2 allows you to stream radio stations from the internet or listen to your personal MP3 collection on the optional MiniSD card. You can also show off your latest pics using the MyPhotoz™ picture viewer, also on the optional MiniSD card.
