Menu system, software
I’d like to start with one of the most important things: the heart of ZN5 is a 500 MHz Freescale processor. We’re not used to such a powerful chip in a “standard” mobile phone, and ZN5 is one of these, as although it’s based on Linux, it’s open source and we cannot only install Java applications on it. The menu system is similar to the one on E8, but it’s much, much faster. Animations are fast, screen changes don’t lag, and applications start up quickly, so the handset is completely okay from this point of view.
You can see the standby screen on the three pictures above, it’s no use writing too much about it. The main menu has nine icons, we can browse them horizontally. The first menu item is the alarm clock for some reason, which is surely useful, but I still don’t understand why did they put it at the first place. In the back we can see the Kodak GalleryLink and Google, which are web links and we also have an office tools thingy, which will be used lots of times, as the call log can be found over here.
The calendar is very easy to use, it has day/week/month views, there is a world clock, a notepad, a voice recorder and a calculator with basic functions. For some reason there is no stopwatch and unit converter on the phone, although there would be a couple of people who would use such applications. There are five games on the phone, four of these had Chinese names and I had no courage to launch them.
