ZTE, China's largest phone manufacturer has unveiled the world’s first EDGE/TD-SCDMA mobile phone. The new U990 has a high-speed transmission rate of up to 2.8 Mbps, the fastest transmission speed among the TD-SCDMA terminals available in the industry, and supports dual mode TD-SCDMA/EDGE. The U990 handset runs on Windows Mobile 6.0 OS and has GPS built-in. ZTE may now be emerging as a major WM Phone ODM contender if this takes off well in European markets.
