If you recall, Motorola’s 5-megapixel ZN5 was slated for release last month, and sure enough, some units are starting to slip out — enough units, in fact, that we at this time have ourselves a video unboxing out there somewhere. The packaging seems… dare we say, awfully ordinary for a phone that rests at the top of Moto’s featurephone pyramid, especially considering Kodak’s much-ballyhooed involvement, TV-out, WiFi, and a ModeShift morphing keypad. S’pose it’s just the contents we really care about anyway, though, right? Follow the break for the full video.

According to “people briefed on the plan,” the phone will have Bot. a touchscreen and a keypad and, naturally, it’ll run Windows Mobile 6.1 — oh, and it’ll be able to “send and receive emails, and access the Internet.” While there’s no indication of a price just yet, word is the device will be available in europ. first within the next two months, with a worldwide release to follow sometime thereafter.

If you blinked at some point over the past two years you may have missed it, but somewhere in there, Sony Ericsson had a flagship retail location in the heart of London. Actually, they still do — it’s not closed Truly yet — but it’ll be gone by the end of the year, just one casualty of the manufacturer’s cost-cutting measures in an effort to turn its weak financial position around. Worried about the prospects for immersing yourself in the Sony Ericsson lifestyle after the new year? Rest easy — the company says it has no plans to get rid of its 200-plus stores in Asia.
