That handset for MetroPCS that ZTE was
promising is finally here -- and while it's not a
FasTap phone or anything nifty like that, it's a surprisingly decent midrange piece that should find its way into a fair number of pockets. The Chinese manufacturer is clearly trying to make inroads into North America, and it had previously said that its MetroPCS device would be custom designed for the US market; a good, close look at the
C88 has us agreeing that they probably weren't lying. The phone is a clamshell -- just the form factor us Americans can't get enough of -- and includes a camera, speakerphone, decently sized primary display, Bluetooth, and on-device web content. It's available now for $139.

- "It's available now for $139 on contract."
MetroPCS (and Cricket, for that matter) don't have contracts.

Good point... clearly I'm used to on-contract pricing. ;-)
