Review: ZTE C88

Form Basics Extras Wrap-Up Comments 7

Given the C88's status as a mid-range flip phone, it shouldn't surprise you to learn that the menu system is simple and straightforward. Hitting the center of the D-pad brings you into the main menu, which is just a grid of the 9 main selections (it can be changed to a list). The menu system is almost moot. From the home screen, you can jump into contacts, and the MetroPCS @Metro deck. If you customize the D-pad, you can access four other applications. That's six of the nine found in the main menu that can be accessed from the home screen without the need to even open the main menu.

You do have to open the main menu to get at the C88's settings folder, tools, games and media folders, though. Once in those folders, the menu turns into simple lists.

In all, using the C88's entire menu system is a snap to figure out. You shouldn't have to crack open the manual at all.
