ZTE F350 to be Verizon’s first ZTE phone

Until now, ZTE has been a shy player on the US mobile market, offering phones for regional carriers like MetroPCS and Cricket. But the Chinese manufacturer is getting ready to launch its first phone via the largest North American carrier – Verizon Wireless.

ZTE F350 is the phone we’re talking about. Unfortunately, we don’t have too many details about it, but we know that it features Bluetooth, voice command and a photo camera. The handset might have a touchscreen, or it could be a slider with a regular display.

Back in 2009, ZTE mentioned that it would launch Android handsets in the US. It also mentioned that it might introduce smartphones via Verizon, so the F350 might be a smartphone – although I can’t figure out what OS it would run.

Anyway, this is what the Verizon-bound ZTE F350 looks like (as seen at the Bluetooth SIG):

We don’t know when Verizon will launch the F350, and neither for what price.

As a side note, Verizon already has a ZTE product in its line-up – the AD3700 USB modem.
