ZTE, a company known for making mobile phones in China, is coming to its first major U.S. carrier soon. They have announced that they are bringing their ZTE Salute mobile phone to the nations largest network, Verizon Wireless.

The ZTE Salue will come with a lot of features including a 2.5 mm jack for a headset, the option to download games, songs, and wallpapers, as well as a 1.3 mega pixel camera. It is a basic slider model, that will be very affordable. The phone will sell for only $19.99 after a $50.00 mail-in rebate, with a 2 year contract with Verizon.

Don’t expect to get your hands on one until 2011 though.
