ZTE C79

In a news that seems more important to ZTE than to MetroPCS (NYSE: PCS) (and the rest of us), the China-based company and the U.S. carrier have announced a new phone – ZTE C79. The device in question is a simple-looking clamshell with CDMA support on the AWS frequency band. Other specs include so-last-year 1.3 megapixel camera, 220×176 pixel screen, dedicated external music control, 69MB of internal memory that is further expandable with microSD cards. Lack of 3G may be a dealbreaker for many, but then again, who enjoy surfing the web on a low-res screen?

MetroPCS is selling the ZTE C79 for $169 sans any contracts involved. Here’s the link with more information.
