Orlando, FL. – March 27, 2007 – ZTE Corporation, a leading global provider of telecommunications equipment and network solutions, today announced the world's first HSDPA handset with PTT (push-to-talk) functionality, the F159, at CTIA Wireless 2007.

PTT-enabled handsets allow groups of users within the range of a mobile network to immediately communicate at the push of a button, in the same way as with a walkie-talkie.

"These achievements clearly demonstrate ZTE's technological strength and illustrate the fact that ZTE is becoming an increasingly important player in the 3G terminal market."
