ZTE A310 aka MSGM8 II caught at the FCC website

Thanks to the good ol’ Federal Communication Commission, we learn that the ZTE A310 will be hitting the U.S. market at some point in the near future. The device which we’ve already seen in Cricket Wireless’ leaked 2010 lineup is a QWERTY keyboard equipped candybar that seems ideal for heavy texters and those folks who like keeping in touch with their buddies via IM networks while on the go. Some social networking client like Facebook and Twitter may also come pre-installed, though we don’t have that confirmed.

In addition to the mentioned keyboard, the A130 aka MSGM8 II (which makes it a successor to the original MSGM8 model) will also rock a Bluetooth connectivity, tri-band CDMA radio, 3G running at 1700MHz AWS spectrum, 1.3-megapixel camera, dedicated keys for the speakerphone and camera, and a headset jack.

And that’s about all we know at the moment. As soon as we hear something new either from ZTE or Cricket, we’ll definitely talk about it on IntoMobile. Stay tuned in the meantime…

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.

    I own a ZTE A310. I have had it for about three months and the keyboard is already messed up. I cannot text at all and can barely make calls because the “asdfghjkl” row of buttons go off constantly. The buttons are not stuck, so I’m not sure what the problem is. I am going tomorrow to get it replaced through the insurance program.
