Motorola ZN300 gets unofficially official, is surprisingly nice

First in the "we're surprised they did it" category today is Motorola's ZN300, a handset that doesn't look even a little like a RAZR. We knew you could do it Moto, and congrats on what seems at first glance to be a pleasant departure form the rehashes we've seen so much of lately. The ZN300 is a slider set with quad-band GSM, CDMA, and TD-SCDMA, which makes this set a shoe-in for China mobile. Other notables include 8 MB (hopefully a typo for 8GB) of built in memory that can expand to 32GB, 3 megapixel camera with 8X zoom, Bluetooth, and styling that finally may make some people take notice. Sure this handset may not deserve a ZOMG!, but hey, we're happy to see something, anything, new from these folks. Look for it to launch this quarter; follow on for a wee gallery.

So with the TD-SCDMA I presume this is a handset that will never see the west... on a carrier, anyway.

My last 3 phones were all motorolas and I loved each and everyone of them especially my rizr for t-mobile!
If this came to t-mobile, it would be number 4! For now I'm stuck with my lame sidekick 2008

Nice block design. Could go over well in the DoCoMo world also.

I like the looks, except for the buttons on the bottom of the face.

Coolio.

I love this phone, too bad we never see this type of thing domestically.
Moto design, and a quality slider are unbeatable. Why not in the US???
Great work Moto!
