Motorola slips out ZN200 media phone

Motorola late yesterday slipped out a previously unannounced media phone with a local Brazilian launch. Known as the ZN200, the slider is part of an increasing wave of mid-range Motorola media phones with a 2-megapixel camera and basic on-camera photo editing. It also supports mobile uploading through its 3G cellular Internet access and supports stereo Bluetooth for listening to music through wireless earphones.

The phone carries just 30MB of built-in storage but comes bundled with a 1GB memory card to handle much more content. The phone sells in Brazil for $499 US before carrier discounts in two-tone black/silver and silver/pink colors. Support for North American phone calls and the possibility of a release here are unknown, although the Motorola Z9 already fulfills most of the same functions as the ZN200 for AT&T users.
