Match Made in Heaven?

By: John Gray

This week a new mobile phone from 'under the weather' mobile manufacturer Motorola has been leaked onto the internet. Luckily for Motorola the new mobile phone is actually something worth talking about!

The Motorola Kodak mobile has been codenamed the Motorola ZN5 - until Motorola make an official announcement it is not known if this will be the actual model name. The ZN5 will be a candy bar style mobile, which is quite unusual for Motorola who usually pick flip phones.

The new mobile is a partnership between Motorola and Kodak - so this means it will obviously be a camera-centred mobile phone. And indeed it does not fail on this front - with a 5 megapixel camera with autofocus and Xenon flash made by Kodak.

The Motorola ZN5 is also rumoured to be able to shoot in RAW mode, which is unprecedented in mobile camera phones. RAW images generally contain more information and are of a higher quality, so should make the 5 megapixel camera of the highest quality. Unfortunately the images doing the rounds on the internet at the moment do not live up to the hype - presumably Motorola are still working on it and the quality will improve by release date.

The only other specifications known about the Motorola ZN5 are that it is a slight 11.8mm thick, has a 3.5mm audio jack and USB slot. Rumour has it that it is due for release during late summer - so it shouldn't be too long until an official statement is made.
