Motorola announced on Monday the launch of Motozone ZN5, its new phone, exclusively for T-Mobile customers in North America. The Motozone was created in collaboration with Eastman Kodak and it’s the first mobile phone to combine Motorola’s ModeShift technology and KODAK Imaging Technology. The new phone will be available online at T-Mobile’s official site and at select T-Mobile retail stores, for $199 with service. The photo quality of the phone is excellent and the integrated Wi-Fi makes getting photos off the phone a breeze.  Motozone ZN5 has a full set of physical controls and the 2.4-inch display (320X240 pixels) occupies half of the phone’s front. The mobile supports 262,000 colors and it has an easy-to-use interface.

As for the camera, it starts automatically when you open the phone’s lens cover. A user can shoot photos in four resolutions, from 5 megapixels down to 1.2 megapixels. The camera offers an auto-timer, a low light setting, three focus settings, five white balance settings, six shutter sounds and a silent option. The click to capture duration is about .02 seconds and the ZN5’s focal length is 5.56mm. The video camera takes clips in two resolutions (176X144 and 128X96) with sound. The phone offers the user a 128MB of user-accessible shared-memory.  ZN5 also comes with a 1GB card in the box, but it can accommodate with cards up to 4GB.

The Motorola ZN5 excels at call quality, the audio is clear and the signal is free of static and interference, using the Moto’s CrystalTalk technology. The phone has a rated battery life of up to 9.5 hours talk time and up to 22.87 days standby time. The heavy use of the camera will drain more power than just making calls. The ZN5 has a digital SAR of 1.59 watts per kilogram, according to the FCC radiation tests.
