ZTE is one of the most important Chinese telecom equipment makers and they’re now getting ready to launch the MTV-branded phone F870E. The device has recently been approved by the FCC and it’s a touchscreen phone with a sliding QWERTY keyboard.

The phone provides access to Vodafone’s MTV Music website and also the Vodafone Pass MTV website, so we expect Vodafone to carry the handset any time now. We also came across some screenshots showing that F870E will be launched by China Unicom as well.

ZTE’s new device will sport FM radio, Bluetooth, email and a 3 megapixel camera. Launch date and price remain a mystery for now.
