The relationship between MetroPCS and Chinese manufacturer ZTE continues with the new ZTE C79 clamshell launching on the carrier’s network. Like many of its previous models, the C79 sticks to a flip-phone form factor and falls into the mid-to-low range category. It is designed to work with both CDMA and AWS frequencies with support for @metro access for downloadable content. Measuring a thin 3.5×1.75×0.7 inches, the C79 is endowed with an internal 176×220px 262k display along with an external display of 96×64 pixels and a 1.3-megapixel camera. Multimedia isn’t exactly a strong point for this flipper as there’s only a music player with dedicated music controls on the front and a meager 69MB of internal storage with 2GB microSD support. Bluetooth has also made it through and that’s the only available outlet if you are thinking wireless.

You can order the ZTE C79 off the net from MetroPCS’ website or in its stores across the country for $169 in a single color combo of red and black.
