Cut down OSX -> iOS
GUI bought in from fingerworks. Trolltec actually had similar.

Basically catalog phone parts slapped onto an iPod.
Less features than other phones, but well marketed and killer feature was unlimited or large data from some carriers when most users paid lots per megabyte.

Marketing, Not R&D or even the appearance which was bland and minimalist and not creative at all, copied from 1950s to 1960s products, replace a 1970s calculator front with an LCD touch screen.
