Boost Mobile is set to release the ZTE Warp in the near future. The handset will be hitting the US carrier on November 2nd for $250 contract-free which isn't bad. The Warp packs a 4.3-inch display, a 5MP camera, a 1GHz CPU, a microSD card slot (2GB card included), GPS, and Android 2.3. It's a mid-end Android phone so if you're looking for one then just wait a bit longer.

CTIA has just started and AT&T in the US has just announced five new Android phones. First off, the Motorola Atrix 2 took the stage. This one is just like the rumours suggested: a 4.3-inch qHD display, an 8MP camera, a front-facing camera, HSPA+ support (up to 21Mbps), and Android "Gingerbread". Next up is the Samsung Captivate Glide (above) which sports a 4-inch Super AMOLED display, a dual-core Tegra 2 CPU, an 8MP camera, a front-facing 1.3MP camera, HSPA+ (up to 21Mbps), a slide-out QWERTY keyboard, and Android 2.3 with the Touchwiz UI.

The unique Samsung DoubleTime and Pantech Pocket were introduced afterwards. The DoubleTime features a clamshell design with a QWERTY keyboard, external and internal touchscreen displays, a Qualcomm 600MHz CPU, and Android 2.2. This one should be a cheap one because that's what it looks like. The Pocket, on the other hand, is a basic touchscreen phone but it packs a unique 4-inch SVGA (800 x 600 resolution) display. Other specs for this one include: a 1GHz CPU, a 5MP camera, and Android 2.3. This one will be available on November 6th for an unknown price.

Lastly, there's the ZTE phone which will be the AT&T Avail. This one features a 3.5-inch display, a 5MP camera, 512MB of RAM, and Android 2.3 "Gingerbread". This will be available on the carrier's prepaid line-up for an unknown price. That's a lot to take in this early into the event so this might be a big one!

We haven't heard much about the ZTE N860 smartphone but it looks like Sprint in the US is going to release it. Not much is known about it right now but it should be a mid-end device with some version of Android. The exact release date and the price is unknown right now but ZTE's phones tend to be on the cheap side.

What you see above is the ZTE Score which is headed to Cricket in the US. This one packs a low-end spec sheet with a 3.2-inch touchscreen display, a 3.5-inch HVGA display, WiFi support, a 3.2MP camera, a 600MHz CPU, and Android "Gingerbread". This handset will be available at Best Buy on September 25th for $129.99 and it'll hit Cricket stores afterwards.

Coming from PocketNow is what you see above. Yes, it's a leak and it's regarding AT&T's upcoming devices. It includes the BlackBerry 9810 (Torch 2), Huawei Dola, HTC ChaCha (lele) which are due for a Q2 launch - expect them in June. Apparently, the ZTE Alicanto and the Samsung Habrok are expected to launch in Q3 of this year. Not much is known about the Pantech Bannik and the HTC Hydra though.

Specs for most of these are unknown but we do know that the Dola (U8800) features a 3.8-inch WVGA display, 512MB of RAM, HSPA+ support, and Android 2.2. The Bannik (P8000) is said to feature 512MB of RAM, and Android 2.2 as well but the price is unknown.

MSI has unveiled two new products that they intend to launch in the future. The one above is a 4.3-inch smartphone while the one below is their upcoming LTE (4G) tablet, of course, both are running Android. First, the one above was just a mockup and it's said to feature a 4.3-inch display, a VGA front-facing camera, a 5MP rear-facing camera, a 1,350mAh battery, and Android 2.3 "Gingerbread". Those are some pretty good specs so let's hope they can deliver a US launch.

The other device, like I said, is a tablet and it's going to be running Android "Honeycomb" whenever it actually does hit the market. This one reportedly features a 10-inch display with a 1,280 x 800 resolution, a 1.2GHz CPU, dual cameras, LTE (4G) connectivity, and a 6,800mAh battery. I wonder if this one will be hitting Verizon later this year. Unfortunately, launches look like they'll be in the second half of the year.

Coming from PhoneScoop is what you see above and it's reportedly the ZTE Amigo. This handset is said to feature a 3.5-inch touchscreen display along with a slide-out QWERTY keyboard that looks pretty easy to type on. On the back of this phone you get a mediocre 3MP camera but there's no word on how fast the CPU inside of it is. This handset isn't the best in the world but it should be a pretty good budget Android handset. This will be shipping this May in the UK. After all, there has to be a reason why ZTE is the fourth largest phone manufacturer in the world.

ZTE showed off a bunch of devices here but we have no clue if they'll ever hit North American land, but they'll likely be available somewhere in Asia in the future. They announced the 7-inch ZTE Light and Light 2. These are going to be running 1.2GHz dual-core CPUs, while the Light 2 is packing WiMAX and even LTE connectivity which is pretty awesome. The company wasn't big on announcing full spec sheets because all they did was tease their devices.

Moving along they also announced the Light10 which features a 10-inch display a 1.2GHz CPU, and Android "Honeycomb". They also brought the ZTE Skate to their booth which was actually inspired by a skateboard. Interesting. It features a 4.3-inch display, an 800MHz CPU, an Adreno 200 GPU, a 5MP camera, and stock Android 2.3 (at least for now). They also briefly mentioned an "Internet Box" which could be hinting that they're planning to launch Android-based set-top box. That's all guess work right now so we'll just have to see what they company announces. Maybe it's Google TV?

Coming from DigiTimes, is word on some Windows Phone 7 handsets getting unveiled at MWC 2011 which is expected. Apparently though, this includes the Asus E600 which hit the FCC about 10 days ago. Along with this news is word that Microsoft plans to launch a Chinese-edition of WP7 in the second half of 2011 and we can expect devices from Lenovo, Huawei, and ZTE. At the same time we can also expect the "Mango" update which will include a bunch of new features.

[Unwired View]

Coming from Reuters is something fairly interesting if you're looking to pick up a tablet in the future. Apparently, ZTE is looking to make a push on the US market by unveiling the Light which is an Android-based tablet. The tablet is said to feature a 7-inch display (480 x 800 resolution), WiFi / Bluetooth support, GPS, an FM radio, a camera, GSM / WCDMA connectivity, and Android 2.1. This tablet should be cheap whenever it actually launches; hopefully it's before the end of the year.

Exclusive information coming from Boy Genius has just mentioned that ZTE is going to be making some high-end Android phones in the future. These smartphones will reportedly be hitting Verizon with 1.3GHz CPUs along with other high-end features I suppose. So far ZTE's handsets have mid mediocre and mid-end at best so it'll be interesting to see how these turn out. The image above is of the ZTE Blade aka the San Francisco which is one of their better handsets.

The ZTE Blade aka Orange's Project JAL has just been made official. Project JAL was just a codename for an Android handset that would be great for people on a budget. When it launches it'll be called Orange San Francisco - for reasons unknown. This handset packs a 3MP camera, 150MB of internal storage, a microSD card slot, WiFi / Bluetooth support, a 3.5mm headphone jack, 3G connectivity, and Android 2.1. For a budget handset, this is a pretty decent spec sheet and it looks quite attractive. The launch date is still unknown but it's reportedly been delayed until the end of this quarter - so that means later this month I suppose.

It was already available on WireFly and it looks like even Verizon is selling the ZTE Salute as well. WireFly is offering it for free on a 2-year contract and Verizon's own website (here) is now offering it for $19.99 on a 2-year contract after a $50 mail-in rebate. The ZTE slider packs a 1.3MP camera, Bluetooth 2.0 support, a 2.4-inch display, a non-standard 2.5mm headphone jack, and VZ Navigator.

Thanks to Wirefly's catalog, they've leaked out the first ZTE phone that will find its way to Verizon Wireless. This is the carrier's first handset from ZTE and it's a pretty basic slider. Dubbed the Verizon Wireless Salute, the handset packs a 1.3MP camera, a QVGA display, and Bluetooth support. The handset is actually available on their website right now for free on a 2-year contract. Phone Arena points out that the handset should be hitting the carrier's shops in a few weeks.

A bunch of new handsets are going to be hitting Verizon in the near future and here are 5 of them. Of course, we've already heard about the Samsung Intensity II and it'll be available in Metallic Blue and Deep Gray (both above). The one directly below is the Samsung Haven U320 (which Unwired View points out you can now order on Verizon's website) which will cost you $40 on a 2-year contract and will be shipping on July 29th. The Haven is a basic flip phone. Beside that there's the LG Clout VX8370 which packs a 2-inch internal QVGA display, a 1.7-inch external display, a 1.3MP (or 2MP) camera, and a microSDHC card slot. The last handset is below them all and it's the ZTE F350, which will be the Verizon Salute. The Salute sports a slide-out QWERTY keyboard, a 1.3MP camera, a microSD card slot, and Bluetooth support.

3 UK has just released another Android-based handset, the ZTE Racer. This is actually ZTE's first Android handset and it's surprisingly running version 2.1. Beneath the 2.8-inch resistive touchscreen display you'll find 3G / Bluetooth support, 7.2Mbps HSDPA connectivity, 256MB of internal storage, a microSD card slot, and social integration. It's going now for £109 on PAYG and it's a fairly low-end smartphone for the Android range. Of course, you can also get it for free on a 2-year contract if you feel like paying £13 monthly.

Remember that so-called "Project JAL" from yesterday? Well, Orange could actually be launching the ZTE Blade, but they'll self-brand it instead. You may remember the ZTE Blade from March of this year. If the specs and this information are correct, this handset will be sporting a 3.5-inch OLED touchscreen display with a 480 x 800 resolution, a 3MP camera, and Android 2.1. Let's see what happens in a few weeks.

[Phandroid]

Another handset headed to Verizon has just hit the FCC (filing here). This is the ZTE F350 which we heard about way back in February. The FCC tells us that this slider will pack a 1.3MP camera, a QVGA display, VZ Navigator, and Bluetooth support. This handset will be available in the future and it shouldn't cost you much.

[Unwired View]

ZTE has just announced another handset in China and this one's the X850. This handset will be hitting China Unicom in the future and it'll pack a 2.8-inch touchscreen display with a 240 x 320 resolution, a 3.2MP camera, a 600MHz Qualcomm MSM7227 CPU, and Android 2.1. This handset is going to be retailing for around $173, so look out for it if you're in need for an Android phone.
