Motorola and Kodak announced their combined venture today, the ZINE ZN5, a 5.0-megapixel camera phone with ModeShift Technology which actually realigns buttons based on the application and Kodak Imaging Technology for bright, crisp images.
The internal 5.0-megapixel camera will offer auto-focus, Xenon flash, 4GB of optional external memory and optimized settings for low-light environments. In addition Kodak Imaging Technology will be combined with Kodak Perfect Touch Technology for brighter and more vivid images. Pics can be transferred via USB, Wi-Fi or Bluetooth wireless technology or printed directly wirelessly on Bluetooth printers.
On the phone-side of things, the new ZN5 will offer Motorola's CrystalTalk technology which allows callers to hear and be heard in noisy environments. With dual compatibility for GSM and Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN), users can connect to high-speed wireless connections and surf the web via a full HTML browser. The ZN5 also supports SMS, MMS, IM and personal email.
The new ZN5 will be available world wide later this year. Price has not yet been announced.

I have put off buying a camera phone until now; your article has me interested in purchasing this one. That is quite remarkable, since I have been pretty stubborn about only ever having the basic cell phone. Thanks for blogging about this!

From the description of this new cameraphone, I think you have just helped me figure out what to buy my hubby for his birthday coming up! Thanks so much, I’m sure it will be exactly perfect!

My camera phone is messing up like crazy and I was wondering what kind to get next. I think I have found it. I’m sure my husband Joe would love this too.

Oh I just found what to tell my husband I want for our anniversary next month. I need a new phone and camera so why not get it all in one?

Darn it, Mom just got me a new phone. I wish I would have seen this one before she got the one she did. I love this one.

I’m not too sure what all that stuff about it means other than I want one!!! It sure looks like it takes better pictures than my old camera phone.

The advances in technology today are mind boggling. Leave it to Kodak and Motorola to improve the cell phone. Gotta have one!
