ChingChong '99 Premium

Overall
The ChingChong '99 Premium touchscreen phone was made in 1999 by a chinese company known as CCBB Electronics. This phone caused the company's bankruptcy because it cost so bloody much to make, however the sales were in the millions.

History
Before the days of touchscreens there were keypads. CCBB was the company that made a lot of popular phones in the 90s for example: However the company was researching the new way to use phones. They blew tens of millions of euros on that phone. When it was released, the company's budget was in the red and they had thousands of loans to take care of. Anyway they went bankrupt, however the phone was incredibly successful and revolutionary. The company still couldn't rise from it's grave, because it would go bankrupt again because of the loans. The phone was still sold in 2004, until the supplies were gone in 2006. People cared even less about the phone, because there were many cheaper alternatives to touchscreen technology in 2005. After that the phone became a relic of the past, with some people owning the original versions of the phone like british bloke.
