ZTE's AWS-packin' C79 now on MetroPCS

True, ZTE's C79 clamshell becomes one of the relatively few phones released to market to support CDMA on the AWS frequency band in addition to the old-skool cellular and PCS bands, but to buyers, that doesn't mean a whole heck of a lot at this point. Instead, they'll be more concerned (and rightfully so, may we add) about the stylish red shell, the 1.3-megapixel camera, 220 x 176 primary display, external music controls, and 69MB of memory on top of a microSD slot. Strangely, there's no EV-DO involved, but this is MetroPCS we're talking about -- which also means we're met head on with a contract-free price of $169. It's available now.

that is a blatant design ripoff of the motorola RAZR v3x. Too bad it doesn't have 2 cameras and flash LOL

my brother bought this phone almost a month ago. its actually really cool as far as metropcs phones go. in my opinion the best one. (i think aws and $100 less than the moto rokr make this phone better)

I have had my zte c79 since the end of july and I love this phone.It does everything I need it for and it isn't as cheaply made as most of the metro phones
