BEIJING, CHINA--Motorola today announced a new mobile phone and no prizes for guessing which it is. Yup, it's the leaked and much rumored ZINE ZN5, which was developed with American imaging giant Kodak.

The ZINE is a new "multimedia-optimized" lineup from the company. Besides GSM, the phone is Wi-Fi-enabled to let users surf the Web via a full HTML browser or upload their images to various picture-sharing Web sites. It incorporates the firm's proprietary CrystalTalk technology which enhances call quality even in noisy environments.

On the imaging front, the device features a 5-megapixel sensor, Xenon flash, autofocus and an expansion slot to ramp up the memory to 4GB. Hardware aside, the phone also ships with Kodak's Perfect Touch Technology which, combined with Kodak Imaging Technology, promises brighter and more vivid pictures.

The ZINE ZN5 will be available in China from July. Price and availability for other parts of Asia have yet to be confirmed, but we will update once we get the information.
