CHINESE PHONE MAKER ZTE has a trio of own branded smartphones, including the Skate, which are inbound today and next week.
In the UK we have Orange's Monte Carlo, which is a rebranded Skate, but ZTE is releasing it as its own phone too. The Skate and Tureis are expected to tip up next Tuesday with the Libra expected today, according to online retailer Clove.

Clove said, "We were originally expecting the first stock of the newly released ZTE Skate to be here today, but the date has now been pushed back ever so slightly to Tuesday 27th September, so only a few days delay."
The phone is priced at £219, whilst the Libra and Tureis have price tags of £166 and £144, respectively. The Skate will come with a 4.3in touchscreen and Android 2.3 Gingerbread.
The mainland Chinese firm doesn't seem happy with releasing just three phones, with many more planned for this year.
He Shiyou, EVP and Head of the Terminal Division at ZTE said, "We are committed to developing smartphone products and will launch a total of 30 smartphone models before the end of 2011."
The INQUIRER is meeting with Wu Sa, director of mobile device operations at ZTE next week, so we hope to get more details about its future products.
