New Motorola MOTOZINE ZN5 – Includes 5MP Camera From Kodak

Motorola has announced its new MOTOZINE ZN5 handset which, through a partnership with Kodak, includes a 5 megapixel camera, xenon flash, image stitching and full integration with Kodak Gallery.


The candybar style handset includes WiFi connectivity on top of support for quad-band GSM and EDGE networks.

It includes Motorola’s CrystalTalk Technology to improve the clarity of voice communications even in noisy environments.


Photos can be transferred to computer by WiFi, Bluetooth or USB and can also be printed directly and wirelessly at Kodak kiosks or with Kodak all-in-one Bluetooth printers.

From the press release it doesn’t look like this handset is set to compete with the recent announcements of Bio-Plastic or Waterproof handsets.

Motorola will kick-start the launch in China next month and will introduce the new model to the rest of the world throughout the remainder of 2008.

Fujitsu Launches F706i Waterproof Phone

Fujitsu has launched their new F706i waterproof phone in Japan, poolside of course.


The handset features a front with a new LED panel to give you easy access to important info such as the time while displaying decorative patterns with 50 colors.

It has a unique 2 in 1 option that allows you to use two phone numbers on the one handset, a feature that could be very useful for many people.


The F706i has a 2.7″ screen, a 2 megapixel camera with image stabilizer plus a TV tuner all built into a 16.9mm slim body.

The phone also has a built-in web browser, HSDPA support as well as 3G WorldRing, which means it can be used overseas.

Apple, listen up. There are some great features here that would make a fantastic addition to the 3G iPhone :)
