The ZTE Adamant is a relatively simple mobile phone that has a 2.4-inch QVGA display, a 2-megapixel camera with built-in flash, Bluetooth, GPS, and a 3.5mm headphone jack. It also boasts a full QWERTY keyboard for user input, which is sure to make typing easy for both e-mails and text messages. And because it doesn’t have many built-in features, the standard battery on the Adamant lasts for long periods between charges.

If you’re on the lookout for a cheap handset that offers nothing more than the basics, ZTE won’t steer you wrong with the Adamant.
