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.

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.
