Moto ZN300 pops up on Motorola site
While T-Mobile fights to move the Motorola ZN5 — having just closed yet another day of offering the 5 megapixel feature phone for free with a new contract — Motorola has made yet another photo-centric dumb phone official. The ZN300, first spied back in January, is now live on Motorola’s site and while it sports some fairly decent specs for an entry to mid-level handset, it certainly doesn’t have that spark Moto desperately needs to start firing up its lineup with. The phone does target some key demographics that it wouldn’t hurt to go after however, boasting of various social networking and blogging/sharing capabilities. Specs:
- Quad-band GSM (850/900/1800/1900 MHz), CDMA / TD SCDMA
- 240 x 320 pixel QVGA display
- 3.1 megapixel camera, 8x digital zoom, LED flash
- 15-20 fps video capture and playback
- Video Mixer (on-device video editing, transition and sound effects)
- Facebook, YouTube and MySpace apps
- 3.5mm headset jack
- Opera browser
- 8MB of internal memory
- MicroSDHC support
- Talk time: up to 435 minutes
- Stand-by time: up to 400 hours
- 3.76 x 1.8 x 0.58 inches, 3.6 ounces
Yep, nothing too exciting here. Moto hasn’t yet provided anything as far as release timing or pricing yet but TD SCDMA obviously points to China. The quad-band GSM antenna on the other hand, leaves things pretty open. All the same, we’re not so sure any tears would be shed if this little guy never manages to find his way to US shores.

Wow a motorola that doesn’t look like a razr. I’m shocked, no kidding.
I don’t really see this phone changing Moto’s future. Motorola really seems to have taken their fingers off the pulse of todays consumer.
In consideration to the opera browser 3.1 megapixels and facebook, I wouldn’t mind this in the states. Maybe I’l pickl one up, I’m interested in motorola getting past old p2k builds.
Is it me or does this phone kind of have a Nokia N Series look to it?
Wow!!! Is Moto serious with that 8MB internal memory? What is this, 1998? LOL.
8MB of internal memory is fine because it it has MicroSDHC support (uh, Apple even Motorola gets that right).
This phone is actually extremely interesting, a true world phone with Quad-band GSM, CDMA, and TD-SCDMA. It is hard to believe it has all of that in that phone package.
It may not set the world on fire, but this could be a pretty successfull phone. Is there even a competitive device out there?
THE PHONE ISN’T EVEN THAT GOOD LOOKING
NEXT THAT MATTERS
Looks 10x better than the Z5N. Not the most feature enhanced device, but Motorola will price it reasonably. It would be a nice kick around device. They just need to get the 3g working in Linux.

Motorola’s story is very odd & unfortunate.
this looks like a solid standard phone. If the price is right, i can see alot of people just looking for a regular phone picking it up. Its not horrible looking either, compared to some of the other phones motorola has been putting out these days. I agree though, it wont save motorola but its still a really good looking phone spec wise.
I like it. I think Moto’s getting back onto the right track, but will it be too late? I wonder…
Seems like they took a page out of INQ’s book.
The TD-SCDMA 3G support has now been deleted. So it is just a quad-band handset. Nevertheless, I think it is great looking, & I love Moto’s build quality & materials. Moto also has the best call clarity & reception in the industry.
