Chinese handset maker ZTE hasn’t really stirred upmuch hype on North American shores but in Asia, they’re all the rage.

What you see above is one of their handsets they recently put up on display at the Wireless Japan convention. In addition to Windows Mobile devices, they also have a Linux powered one. The RAISE and XIANG are the ones running Windows Mobile and will feature 5MP and 3.2MP cameras and will use HSPA over the Wo netork.

The D820, on the other hand, is the Linux-touting device and will feature WiFi, CDMA, GPS and a 2MP camera. No word on worldwide availability but if I had to guess, from the looks of this, there are definitely some American consumers who would take interest in these thing.

ZTE is one of the largest telecommunication equipment makers in China and that seems to be good enough to make ZTE the 5th largest handset maker in the world. The position was formerly held my Motorola but this will all change this year. Nokia, Samsung, LG and Sony Ericsson will lead the pack with ZTE and Motorola following. It looks like ZTE has shipped 45 million phones in 2008 and it seems ready to surpass Motorola in the first quarter of 2009. ZTE might also be able to leave Sony Ericsson behind which isn’t doing that good momentarily.

It’s not the Blue Earth from Samsung and it’s not LG’s future solar phone but it’s a solar phone nonetheless. It’s the ZTE’s Coral-200-Solar phone from Digicel meant to be a cell phone solution for those regions of the world where people don’t have any power outlets available or can’t afford them. That’s about 2 billion people around the world, so making a solar mobile seems a rather logical decision. The phone will charge its battery on its own, straight from that solar power. It will be available in June for an undisclosed yet price.

Looking for a new Windows Mobile phone? Movistar has one for you. It’s the ZTE E810 which comes with a 2.5 inch QVGA 65K color screen, 64MB of RAM, Bluetooth, a 1.3 megapixel camera and support for up to 4GB of external memory space. As you can observe, 3G and WiFi support are missing. The phone’s specs didn’t impress us from the beginning and the fact that it lacks at least one of the fast connectivity options won’t do Movistar much good either. Looking forward to purchase the phone? We’d advise you to reconsider as you have still time to do it. We have no idea when the ZTE E810 will be launched and how much it will cost.

MetroPCS, the wireless carrier on the US that now reaches over 300 cities, has announced a new cellphone on their catalog, the C78 made by ZTE. This is another basic cellphone like the Alcatel 206, but from the looks of it there are better features on the ZTE. Anyhow, the C78 will be available for $130 and has the following features to offers: VGA camera, 2-inch display screen, Tri-band CDMA, and lastly an internal memory of 60MB. In the end this isn’t a good, nor bad device, consider it medium and if I had to give a star rating, it would be 2 out of 5.

ZTE is joining in on the smartphone competition as the Vodafone 1231 has shown up at the FCC. The phone will feature a QVGA display and GPS on a large 2.5-inch display, 64MB RAM, 1.3 megapixel camera. However, it surprisingly lacks 3G and Wi-Fi, so that means, it can’t compete with the more top-end phones in the market today.

Vodafone 1231 measures 113 x 65.4 x 14.5 mm, weighs 130 grams and draws its juice from a 1100 mAh Li-Ion battery. There is no information on the device pricing and availability, but without 3G and Wi-fi, it will pretty much be an affordable handset.
