Continuing our ongoing series of quirky Chinese phones, ZTE’s i766 was one of the most western handsets we came across at Mobile World Congress, both in terms of build quality and features.
Perhaps most impressive was its support for TV on its high quality 2.4 inch QVGA touchscreen. The metal cased device also supports GPRS, WAP, web and email. Connectivity was Bluetooth and it had ports for USB and T-flash. Overall dimensions were relatively small – if not quite up to Japanese standards – at 106 x 51 x 16.5mm and 120g.
In fact the only real weaknesses we could see were the 1.3MP camera and the plasticky feel of the back of the phone. Well those and the unconventional keypad layout which instead of the traditional call/soft keys and joypad being above the main number keys had them squashed them all together – presumably a configuration designed for nimble Chinese fingers.
