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.

Pretty. No matter what people say, I'll always love moto's design dept.

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!
