You might want to strap on your seatbelts, as the ZTE 66 (which has already gone through the rigors at the FCC, only to get pictured afterwards) could very well be headed towards the folks over at Verizon Wireless, where it will be known as the Verizon Turbine .70. What you see above is an image that is part of a page that is residing somewhere underneath the labyrinth of pages inside Verizon’s internal system. It can be considered to be the confirmation of the ZTE V66 under the guise of the Verizon Turbine 7.0, where the latter is definitely a far more interesting name to roll off your tongue when someone asks you of the type of tablet that you are using.
Some of the rumored hardware specifications include a 7” display at 1,280 x 800 resolution, a 1.2GHz dual-core processor, 1GB RAM and a rather beefy 4,000mAh battery to keep it going. No idea on whether it will ship with Android 4.1 Jelly Bean right out of the box, or will you need to wait for an update from the Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich operating system.

T-Mobile might not have the largest subscriber base in the US, but this does not mean that the carrier is a small fry in a large pond. No sir, the latest smartphone to join up with T-Mobile’s stable of handsets would be the ZTE Concord which is touted to come with its fair share of hardware specifications, although it will not have you run the risk of burning too large a hole in your pocket. Basically, the ZTE Concord will come with a 3.5″ display in addition to a 2-megapixel camera, Android 2.3 Gingerbread (oh why?), and 3G connectivity support (bear in mind that this is not HSPA+ we are talking about here). The thing is, we would have very much preferred to see Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich or newer run on the ZTE Concord right out of the box, but there is not much that can be done at the moment save to wait. Retailing for $99.99 a pop, will the presence of handsets like the ZTE Concord actually help boost the name and popularity of T-Mobile?
Finnish retailer Verkkokauppa.com might have missed the memo concerning the secrecy that was supposed to shroud the ZTE Blade III, considering how they have already shown off promotional images of this particular smartphone, not to mention the entire slew of hardware specifications for all and sundry to look at. The leaked ZTE Blade III images show off a curved, white design that is not too far off from the Samsung Galaxy Nexus, where it is powered by the Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich operating system, riding at the back of the 1GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon processor complete with 512MB RAM. At the front lies a 3.5″ WVGA TFT display which is similar in size to the iPhone 4S, although I do not think that this has the pixel density of Apple’s smartphone.
