ZTE F350, the first phone made by the Chinese company for Verizon Wireless, has just been approved by the FCC - which means it's probably coming soon to a Verizon store near you.
Unlike the Droid X or the Samsung Fascinate, the F350 doesn't run Android, and it's not even a smartphone.
It's just an entry-level slider with a QVGA display, VZ Navigator, Bluetooth, email. 1.3MP camera, and a battery that should last up to 240 minutes in talk-time mode, or up to 220 hours in stand-by.
Verizon will likely sell the ZTE 350 for next to nothing on contract. The phone might be launched at about the same time with the Pantech Jest and Samsung Haven. [Samsung Fascinate Specifications]
