Motorola’s 2008 lineup has not been a very well kept secret, least of all the Kodak branded snapper that’s cropped up in various leaks over the last few months. Now however, we have an announcement and details for said camera phone, officially known as the MOTOZINE ZN5.
The big feature is the 5 megapixel camera complete with Kodak imaging technology, KODAK EASYSHARE Software and the KODAK Gallery service (which is basically an online photo sharing function). The camera also includes Xenon flash and multiple capture modes, like multi-shot and the clever panorama function, which automatically stitches together continuous shots taken on the horizon line into a single photo.
The phone itself is a GSM candybar with built in WiFi, 4GB of optional external memory and Bluetooth for wireless printing with compatible Kodak printers. No details about pricing or availability have been let loose yet but for the first time in an age for a Motorola handset, we are quite interested to find out. As soon as we find out, we’ll let you know. In the meantime, check out some more photos of the ZN5 after the jump.

After Motorola’s leaked 2008 product line-up video a short while back, there has been plenty of speculation as to the mysterious Motorola Kodak camera phone that popped up in it. Well, thanks to some sterling sleuthing from the folks over at Unwired View, a few more concrete(ish) details about the device (and a lovely pic) have been confirmed.
The handset is to be dubbed the MotoZINE ZN5 and by the look of the pic, will be a pretty sleek candy bar with one end being mildly bloated to accommodate what we are hoping will be a pretty high spec camera lens. Apparently the ZN5 will be 2.5G with GSM/GPRS connectivity and will runs on Montavista Linux 2.6.1 OS. It will also include a 320×240 QVGA display and a 5 megapixel camera (hopefully with flash and some sort of fancy zooming capabilities).
There are also reports that the ZN5 will have a 3.5mm headphone jack, will be able to record Mpeg4 video and will have some sort of TV-Out function (handy for looking at all those videos and snaps). Obviously this is all subject to change until we get the official press release from Motorola, but as a first pass at the spec sheet the MotoZine ZN5 is looking like a pretty nifty camera focussed handset. More details as soon as we have them.
