They make a big deal about Kodak, does anyone know if this is using their new sensor? It was meant to be in camera phones first to benefit from the high sensitivity Q2 2008 I think it was but I've not seen anything of it.

If this does have the new sensor design then that makes the phone of definite interest to see if it really lives up to the promise. The solution to improving camera phones is not more resolution (8MP is just stupid), it's working on the sensitivity.

Why hasn't any posted any pics here yet??? There are dozens in the Mobile Review's review...
Well here are few:

Dont forget to read the smape review aswell. Overall a great imaging device and both mags agree it trumps the top imaging phone (n82) on almost all fronts as far as imaging goes. There is some noise in dark shots but this should be sorted before it ships.
Im also really happy with how much they praise its music capabilities. Not only does it have a 3.5mm jack but its apparantly better than the top music phones around (Samsung i450 included) as well as the Apple ipod.
Here are some stats from the Smape review:
MXC275-30 Platform Features
• StarCore SC140e DSP up to 208 MHz
• ARM11 applications processor up to 532 MHz
• Quad-band GSM 850/900/1800/1900 MHz
I just hope they dont encounter delays in shipping.

Thats not true, it trumps quite a many SE phones, none of the Walkman phones hold a candle to the ZN5 and the ZN5 has WiFi and you can install 3rd part Linux apps, Java apps and WebUI apps on it starting from Septemeber this year. Eldars got a few facts slightly off, there are 2 versions of the ZN5 the 64MB RAM and 128MB RAM versions, the 128MB RAM version is only for TMobile. The processor is a freescale 538Mhz processor using ARM11 tech. It has MBX lite built in for a bit of 3D acceleration. In countries where 3G does'nt matter this is going to sell. I certainly hope it does as it will spice up the market a bit and not have Nokia running away from the other manufacturers.

i have had enough of those funny method on my Razr xx and when SE , samsung and Nokia try to let all the numeric key to be a short cut in the main and sub menu...moto still not....which is very frustrated
in YOUR opinion, what RAZR model would you say that the UI of the ZN5 is similar to?
just curious. |

My V8 does the above without any problem. Even the menu has been improved over the original Razr.
It's not what you do or even how you do it but in what state of mind you do it: Dups! 2009 |
