Motozine ZN5

Motorola ZN5 is the long-awaited handset made in collaboration with Kodak, the US-based famous producer of photographic and optical materials/equipment. The fruit of this collaboration is the 11.8 millimeter thin ZN5 that packs a 5 Megapixel camera with auto focus, xenon and LED flash (hence there are two of them), video recording and, of course, Kodak lens. This camera should offer high-quality photos, comparable with the ones that handsets like Nokia N95 / N82 or Sony Ericsson K850 can provide.

May be a 3G version will be rolled-out soon, especially created for the markets where 2G is, slowly but surely, becoming an "old" technology. If so, then the ZN5 could be a real hit, and not just in Asia.

Feature

• 500 MHz processor, TV-out, Music and Video players, morphing keypad
• Bluetooth 2.0 with EDR
• 5 megapixel Camera
• 3.5mm audio jack
• 2.4 inch display with 240 x 320 pixels
• Montavista Linux 2.6.1 operating system.
• GSM connectivity (900 / 1800 / 1900 MHz)
• GPRS and EDGE
• No 3G browsing / data transfer speeds.

Anyway, Motorola plans to launch the ZN5 only in Asia, where markets like China and India (the largest in the world, in terms of mobile users) don't have 3G networks yet, so the lack of this capability in the phone won't be seen as a drawback.

We have redefined the quality, convenience and connectivity of mobile imaging devices. We have worked closely with Motorola to create a device that not only delivers Kodak-quality pictures, but allows consumers to explore a wide range of options for sharing their photos with friends and family around the world."

Besides the Kodak lens, ZN5's camera has 5 Megapixels, Xenon flash, auto focus, multi-shots, video recording and a lens cover. Plus, the pre-installed Kodak EasyShare Software will make organizing, editing and sharing photos easy and fun things to do, while the quick access to the Kodak Gallery website will allow users to instantly upload their photos on the Web.
