In a news that seems more important to ZTE than to MetroPCS (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.

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
