ZTE Smooth
ZTE wants to go beyond its low-cost handset maker image and enter the higher-margin smartphone market. The Chinese company is working round the clock on brand new Android-powered smartphones (not one, but multiple devices) as we speak. In that sense, today we present you 4 ZTE phones that could find its way to the market (possibly even outside China) this year:
- ZTE Smooth – the Palm Pre like device with Android 1.6, 2.8-inch QVGA display, QWERTY keyboard, WiFi, GPS, Bluetooth, FM radio, and 3g (UMTS) connectivity.
- ZTE Blade – a high-end device with 3.5-inch WVGA touchscreen, Android 1.6, Wi-Fi, GPS, Bluetooth, FM radio and GSM/UMTS connectivity.
- ZTE Racer – another Android 1.6 phone with 3G, WiFi, GPS, and 2.8-inch QVGA touchscreen.
- ZTE Mercury – the HTC Hero look-alike with 3.2-inch HVGA display, GPS and EDGE data.
In other words, ZTE is super committed to Android and the only problem seems to be in distribution. As soon as that’s resolved, I’ve no doubts we’ll see ZTE smartphones popping on every corner of Europe and the U.S…

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.
