Motorola ZN200 Unveiled

Motorola ZN200 is the latest handset to surface on the Web under the Moto name, together with the Moto way of making mobile phones. The new device was unveiled by the FCC (Federal Communications Commission), which also approved the phone for use in the US. However, this doesn't necessarily mean that the new Moto will be released in North America any time soon.

Released in the US or not, the ZN200 seem to be a mid to low-end device. Unlike the other known Moto which has "ZN" in its name, the 5 Megapixel ZN5 candybar, the ZN200 doesn't bring too many advanced features. Still, by reading the phone's users manual, we can see that Motorola promises users a "rich music experience" coming with this handset.

The ZN200 comes in a slider form factor and, although its dimensions are not known yet, it doesn't seem to be too big. The phone offers a 5-way navigation key "a la Moto," a web dedicated key and a sliding alphanumeric keypad that looks to be quite easy to use. Furthermore, there's a display that probably has 2 or 2.2 inches and a maximum resolution of 240 x 320 pixels.

Besides the above-mentioned details, the User Manual of ZN200 also says that the handset features the following: dual-band GSM connectivity (850 / 1900 MHz) with EDGE, Bluetooth 2.0 with A2DP, Music player with support for MP3, WAV and MIDI, Media library, Windows Media Player 11 compatibility, FM radio with preset stations, a 2.5mm headset jack, a 2 Megapixel camera with digital zoom and video recording, photo album and photo editor, Web browser, mobile email, USB, microSD card support (but only up to 2GB), handsfree, pre-installed games, organizer, calendar, alarm clock, and other basic features of this type.

At the moment, there are no details available on the retail price of Motorola ZN200, nor about when and where it will be released. Even so, the new slider will probably be targeted for users that mainly buy non-expensive handsets.
