Here's something I bet you have never seen. A dual SIM Android phone with TD-LTE, TD-SCDMA and GSM bands! The ZTE MT73 was spotted at the China Mobile's booth at the Mobile Asia Congress event and isn't expected to leave China any time soon. While only a prototype, the MT73 is still waiting for the Chinese government to issue a commercial license for TD-LTE before it will enter production.

As far as specs go, the ZTE MT73 features Android 2.3.4, a 4.1-inch 854 x 480 capacitive LCD display, an 800MHz MediaTek processor, 1GB of RAM, a 5MP rear camera, a VGA front camera and a 1,100mAh battery. The guys over at Engadget are reporting that the device feels a bit cheaply built but tributes that to its prototype state. China Mobile has exclusive rights to the device and the release is pending TD-LTE approval.

Stacy Bruce was born and raised in Spokane Washington. He attended the University of Washington to study pre-med only to change his course study a year later to forensic science. Although currently not a doctor or a scientist, some believe he posseses the knowledge of both. He was a resident of San Diego California for ten years, lived beachside and sometimes wonders why the hell he moved back to Spokane. A multi-talented man, Stacy is a fabricator, an artist, a gear head, a tech junkie and at most, the disciple of Casanova. Growing up, he was always enthralled with electronics, gadgets and gizmos. Throughout his life he has had one, if not two, of every cool and new electronic device available. He began his smartphone experience with the original iPhone. After realizing it was more like theirPhone, he decided he wanted the ability to customize, so Stacy moved to the OG Droid and has been a loyal Android fanatic ever since. Moving through all of the top tier Verizon phones, he recently retired his Droid Charge in favor of the Galaxy Nexus, only to wonder what great device Samsung will come out with next. Stacy is a busy new homeowner in where he lives with his beautiful girlfriend and two dogs.
