The last time we mentioned the Motorola ZN5, which was only a few weeks ago, it cost around $99.

But now T-Mobile has announced that it will offer the ZINE cellphone for free, that is, after a mail-in rebate and the obvious contract which in this case lasts for 2 years.

Just for a refreshment, the Motorola ZINE ZN5 has a good 5-megapixel camera by Kodak with xenon flash, support for WiFi, and a good looking keyboard.

Motorola keeps launching various cell phones out there hoping that one of them will be a hit. At least I hope they are hoping that. The MOTOZINE ZN5 has been released by T-Mobile . You’ll get a 5-megapixel Kodak camera with xenon flash, quadband EDGE, WiFi support and a keypad that morphs. All that for the cheap price of $99 with a two-year contract.

Not a bad deal, but the phone is far from becoming a hit. The ZN5 is available in T-Mobile stores as of right now, so go check one out.

November 3 is the day when all 5 Motorola lovers will see the MOTOZINE ZN5 get released. Motorola is getting it ready for the holiday season right? We don’t know actual prices for now but we’ll probably get them in about two weeks! In the mean time here’s what you can expect from this camera-phone: (more…)

The slider which was caught shaking hands with the FCC some time ago has surfaced again, this time in Brazil. This will be the second model in Motorola’s new ZINE line (the first being ZN5 and its Kodak-branded 5-megapixel camera) and frankly speaking, there isn’t much to speak of in terms of features that we haven’t seen before.

The Motorola ZN200 will get you dual GSM 850/1900 support, a meager 2mpx camera, Bluetooth, USB, and a 2.5mm headphone jack. It will be launched in Brazil for about 499 BRL ($315) pretty soon.

I know 5 megapixels is so passe, now that Sony Ericsson has started the next step in cameraphone evolution with its 8.1mpx lens, but the name “Kodak” should still ignite some fire in some die-hard photogs. Anyways, Motorola has finally admitted its existence and with all the leaks, we pretty much know what else the ZN5 has other than the Kodak-branded 5mpx lens. Although there’s no 3G, this shooter will work on 900/1800/1900 MHz networks and has EDGE support. The 2.4-inch display is good enough to work as a viewfinder and Bluetooth 2.0 +EDR and WiFi should just about take care of any connectivity needs. The whole setup runs on Montavista Linux 2.6.1 OS along with TV-out and a media player.

China is the first frontier with rest of the Asia to follow. No word on whether it will make an appearance stateside or not.

At first I thought this is the ZN5 Motorola handset which is rumored to have a 5 megapixel camera from Kodak. But this is a slide phone so could it be a different model?

Anyway, here’s what this “ZN5″ is supposed to feature: (more…)

From what we can see in this leaked picture, Kodak will manufacture cameras for new Motorola cell phones. The ZN5 might be the first Motorola phone to have a 5 megapixel camera built in.

If it’s true this is certainly a bold move for both Motorola and Kodak too. Sony’s Cybershot phones are good cameras right? The iPhone is the most chosen camera according to Flickr users and Nokia is close behind. It was time Motorola did something like this in order to have a fighting chance. This move will benefit Kodak as well since cell phones aren’t just cell phones anymore.

If it’s not true maybe Kodak will get inspired by it to enter Motorola’s world
