CTIA 2010
We visited with ZTE during the trade show, but unfortunately it didn't have much to show us. All the phones on display were under glass and we couldn't touch them or play with them at all.
That said, there was at least one unannounced handset sitting in a display case. The C76 is a basic bar-style phone with a 2-inch display. It will run BREW and offers Bluetooth 2.1, GPS, and a WAP web browser. It is diminutive in size and will be an entry-level device for those seeking a voice-centric device.
ZTE couldn't tell us which carrier was planning to offer the C76, but it is a CDMA 800/1900 handset that runs BREW. Given that pairing, there's only one logical carrier that could offer this phone: Verizon Wireless. (That's just an educated guess, though.)
ZTE also had QWERTY messaging device called the X990/U990. It is also a candybar style phone that's similar in form factor to a BlackBerry. It has a full keyboard and a touchscreen. It also has Bluetooth a 2 megapixel camera and an FM radio on board. What's really interesting is that this handset is available in multiple radio configurations, including CDMA-based and GSM-based. ZTE was not able to say if or when it will be offered by a U.S. carrier, but given its specs, it wouldn't be a poor assumption.
