Motorola yesterday announced in Brazil the new ZN5, RAZR V9, V9 Special Edition, ROKR E8, W180, W231, W396, Z10, ZN200. The highlight of this launch are obviously the Z10 and ZN200 which are still pretty unknown for the rest of us.

The Motorola Zine ZN200 (already leaked) is the second Zine phone announced, as the first one is the ZN5 was announced late last month. It contains a 2 megapixel camera, Bluetooth v2.0, image editor, 30MB internal storage, 1GB memory card, CrystalTalk technology, and 3G. The ZN200 will be available by September this year and will cost 499 Reais. I believe the price is great for such a phone, it's a mid-end device that doens't cost much for the features. Take a look for yourself.

The Motorola RIZR Z10 was shown at the Mobile World Congress, and contains a 2.2" display and plays video at 30fps. Apparently the external memory can go up to 32GB, that sounds like microSDHC, but you can't really get those sort of memory cards yet. Its 3.2 megapixel camera can take up to 3 photos per second. It's a smartphone with Symbian OS9.2 with UIQ 3.2 User Interface, and has a TI 2420 multimedia processor. Only downside is the hectic 1299 Reais price, feel free to convert the currency to have an idea of what I'm talking about. For that price I think it wouldn't be asking too much to add a larger display and a 5 megapixel camera.

The Motorola W231, W180, and W396 are all music dedicated and have FM Radio. The latter one has a VGA camera, 1GB memory card included and a clamshell form factor. These three phones have the MotoID technology which is practically the same as TrackID on Sony Ericsson phones, where the phone recognizes an excerpt of the music. A highlight of the W180 is that it can last 10 hours talk-time, just like the iPhone 3G. The prices, 100 Reais for the W180 and 400 Reais for the W396 are appropriate although for the W396 there could hae been an added feature or two.
