Starting with Android 2.3.4, all phones which have this OS version are able to take screenshots using a key combination: press Home Button + Power Button for a few seconds and you will see a flashing frame appearing and a message will follow saying that the screenshot has been saved on the internal/external storage device under the Screenshots folder.

If you press the volume down button on the side of the phone and power button on top of the phone together you can get a snapshot!

I can confirm this; I got a ZTE Warp Sequent (ZTE-N861)earlier today.
Pressing Volume Down and the Power Button on the top of the phone SIMULTANEOUSLY gives a screenshot every time.

Unfortunately this feature isn't available with the zte Merit. I guess they figure that cheaper phones shouldn't come with features of more high end models.

It works great on the AT&T ZTE Z998 Go phone. All you need to do is press the Power button and the Volume down button at the exact time.
