  • Motorola announces MOTOZINE ZN5

    Filed under: Handsets , Motorola , Linux , GSM , EDGE Hints of Motorola's new MOTOZINE series of devices have gone back as far as last year , but today marks the first time that Moto's officially spilled any beans on the goods. The headlining feature on the first model, the ZN5 candybar, lies on the backside: a 5-megapixel sensor courtesy of a partnership with Kodak , featuring autofocus, a xenon flash, image stitching, and on-device integration with Kodak Gallery. Otherwise, you get WiFi (score), Motorola's so-called "ModeShift" technology for morphing the keypad depending on device mode ( a la the E8 ), and a run-of-the-mill quadband GSM radio with EDGE. China's the first country to get the hookup starting next month, but Moto expects to take the ZN5 on a world tour over the course of the remainder of the year.

  • Motorola's ZN5 captured in pictures, no blur included

    Filed under: Handsets , Motorola , Linux , GSM Sure, you've already treated your eyes to a few less-than-stellar images of the ZN5 , but this candybar just got a whole lot clearer. A handful of new images have surfaced over at KeySJ , and they take you all the way around the handset itself and even give you a look at the interface. We know, we've probably already lost you to the read link below, but if you're somehow still here, then here's your unnecessary permission to head on down and indulge. Thanks for caring.

  • Motorola's ZN5 gets clearer, Kodak co-branding and all

    Filed under: Handsets , Motorola , Linux , GSM So this is where the Kodak teaser shot is leading, eh? A clear full-body shot of Motorola's upcoming ZN5 candybar has finally hit the web, appearing to borrow a number of fresh design elements from recently-spied models (take the keypad font, for example, which we've seen on Verizon's unannounced Moto clamshells , and morph tech from the E8 ). Unfortunately, it doesn't matter how great that 5 megapixel Kodak sensor really is -- the lack of 3G is pretty unforgivable in the year 2008, even if Motorola intends to restrict this model to Asia, which in itself doesn't make terribly much sense for a company that should be concentrating on a global turnaround.

  • Motorola's bizarre MOTOROKR E8?

    Filed under: Handsets , Motorola , Linux , GSM So apparently magical keypads are going to be all the rage in the next couple years. Taking a cue from Optimus Maximus , perhaps? Following the Firefly flyPhone we saw a few weeks ago comes word from China of this rather bizarre Motorola prototype, apparently dubbed the MOTOROKR E8. Besides an illuminated, dynamic keypad that can change modes to provide dedicated music controls, the candybar is supposed to feature 2GB of onboard storage, the typical microSD expansion and miniUSB jack, and a 3.5mm headphone connector. The UI is brought to you by Motorola's Linux-based JUIX ( MOTOMAGX ?) platform powering a QVGA display. We're skeptical about the goodness of that keypad until we get our hands on it, but we guess it could be cool. Moto, care to send one over (FedEx Saturday Delivery, please)?
