    CNET Review

    August 14, 2008

    The Good: The ZTE C79 is a slim and attractive flip phone with external music player keys, a microSD card slot, a 1.3-megapixel camera, and stereo Bluetooth. It also has good call quality.

    The Bad: The ZTE C79 doesn't support photo caller ID despite its color external display, and the C79 doesn't have voice command.

    The Bottom Line: The ZTE C79 is a good midrange multimedia phone for MetroPCS customers, but the lack of voice command was a disappointment.

    Review Summary: The ZTE C79 is an interesting first try from a new mobile phone company, but its interface still has some rough edges.
