We hate to yell "Pre!" at the top of our lungs here, since we'd really like to see further exploration of the portrait QWERTY form factor for Android, but it's hard to avoid the form factor and stylistic comparisons. The new "Smooth" phone from ZTE (http://www.engadget.com/tag/ZTE/) is a low-end handset running Android 1.6, with a 2.8-inch QVGA screen, WiFi, Bluetooth, GPS and a love for Palm industrial design. The phone, which is being shown off at MWC, should retail under 1000 Yuan (about $146 US) and be released in August of this year as a low-end smartphone contender.ZTE's Smooth Android slider is a not-so-smooth Pre knockoff (http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/18/ztes-smooth-android-slider-is-a-not-so-smooth-pre-knockoff/) originally appeared on Engadget (http://www.engadget.com) on Thu, 18 Feb 2010 20:52:00 EST.
