Reviews of the ZTE C79

CNET Review
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.
