ZTE? Hello, yes, this is Verizon. Verizon Wireless. Mmhmm. We heard that you were selling a smart projector through AT&T. Yes, that's right, the ZTE Spro 2. We'd like to offer it too.
Huh, exclusive? It's been nearly three months. That's long enough. We have a larger network than AT&T. We cover more of the country, which means there's a better chance we'll connect with someone who actually knows what a smart projector is and wants one. How many have you guys sold with AT&T anyway?
Yeah, I already know about the thing. The guy at the AT&T store told me everything I needed to know. It comes with Android 4.4.4, and there's 16GB of internal storage along with a microSD card slot for storing Google Play apps. The projector has a 1280 by 800 resolution, draws power from a 6,300mAh battery, runs off a Snapdragon 800, packs 2GB of RAM, has an HDMI port, and can double as a mobile hotspot. We'll sell it for $600 off-contract.
Yes, we know that's 0 more than AT&T's price. Do we have a deal or not? Good. Should I send out the press release, or should you? Mmhmm. Oh, and let's launch a contest or something to go with it.
