The Bottom Line	The ZTE C88 is a mostly ho-hum midrange phone from MetroPCS, but it does offer superior call quality.	The ZTE C79 is a good midrange multimedia phone for MetroPCS customers, but the lack of voice command was a disappointment.	As a simple phone for making calls, the ZTE gets the job done. We appreciate the stereo Bluetooth, but we wish the volume were louder.	The Samsung Finesse is a great touch-screen phone and a solid choice for MetroPCS customers.	The Samsung MyShot is a good midrange phone with excellent call quality.
