Together, these manufacturers have paired to create the Motorola ZINE ZN5, which features the best digicam we’ve seen on a cell phone yet. Better still, the handset is priced at just $100. Keep in mind that you can hardly buy a decent digital camera for that, much less a 5MP one built into a feature-rich mobile device. Not everything in the ZN5 is popping flashbulbs, however – it's only an EDGE phone and the device’s video recording and playback are less than cutting-edge. Nonetheless, we will say this: The gizmo’s imperfections are all but meaningless compared to its overall value, and especially the quality photos it produces.
