Last month, I wrote about the possible entry of China phones running Android OS in the smartphone market. Looks like ZTE counld be the first one with their “Smooth” handset.
This Palm Pre-look-alike runs Android OS 1.6 and it ain’t bad-looking either.

According to Engadget, the ZTE Smooth has a 2.8-inch QVGA screen, WiFi 802.11b/g, Bluetooth and GPS. And at only $146, this looks like one hot item to consider (probably the very first Android smartphone under $200) when it comes out in August 2010.
Hat tip to Chadd.


Any updates as to whether this is available locally already?
