> In reply to RishiGuru @ 2010-12-30 12:30 from PZLQ - click to readHey dear I just bought ZN5 two months ago. Really great experience to have this. Please suggest is it wise to mod the gadget with available firmwire in the various sites as mentioned here? i.e. http://www.motorolafans.com/fo...-ldenl.html. Also, do ZN5 supports thrid party software to play music, because whenever I listen the music the inbuild player plays all the mp3 files whether it is ringtones or songs which (ringtones in between songs) irritates me a lot. I mean to say is there any other option to play music directly i.e. Sony Ericsson without making playlist. As making a playlist in this device is very lengthy process while in Sony Ericsson it is easy you just click on the option to to playlist make new playlist select the folder where your songs are stored and enjoy the music. Please suggest.

> In reply to Anonymous @ 2010-12-29 08:48 from 9J5j - click to readHi,this is RishiGuru, it has been a while since my last visit to GSMArena. I have been abroad & quite busy for some time, and could not spare time to visit here, let alone replying in posts.

ZN5 uses tempered mineral glass and not Gorilla glass. The glass used is of very high quality & thick to protect the screen. This type of glass are very hard to scratch, and needs brick load of force to break it.

Gorilla glass is a new implementation in phones and currently reserved for top end handsets.

I have been using the ZN5 for last three years, and it is still delivers performance in heaps. No phone had stood so long with me. One side of my mind is telling me to buy a new phone, while ZN5 with its superb built quality, top notch materials & hardware, good software, the very best 5MP camera + xenon flash & out of the world audio quality is telling me "I still have some juice left".

This quad band phone is so versatile over the world, changes GSM networks seamlessly, the reception quality + CrystalTalk provides excellent network reception & are way superior than my Nokia N82 & N79.

Also Motorola traditionally uses proper speakers in their phones. That is the reason why the ringtones sound so sweet as the speakers can travel a wide audio frequency spectrum that the new breed of small alarm clock speakers currently used in ultra thin phones cannot. That is the reason why they sound more shrilly.

On the downside, the software is little slow 7 not so "spicy" as Samsung's, but i can live with it. After all ZN5 does all its work properly but without the added zing. Since the last 3 years my iPod & cannon
camera is lying in my home, since my ZN5 can do all there daily work with ease.

I have also made my own personal record. I visited GSMArena for it. I have completed snapping in total 50,000 pictures with my ZN5 yesterday. It is still eager to snap 50,000 more. I just cannot tame the beastly eagerness of the ZN5's camera.

Any way I will buy a new high end phone next year. Until then Chow!!!!!!

Actually, ZN5 and VE66 are identical-only difference worth mentioning is battery life...
I had both...very lovely phones:-)

Hi everybody! I want to know what are the differences between 05R firmware and 0ER or 0DR which as i know are newer. Currently my phone runs on 05R and must say i`m not completely satisfied with it and would like to know if other firmwares could give me a better experience when using ZN5. Those of you who have used other firmwares besides 05R, like 0DR and especially 0ER (latest official) by flashing your phone or by default, please give me an answer. I am interested in differences like performance, speed, photo\music\call quality, stability, battery life and other aspects. Thanks a lot!

I just buy this fabulous device six days ago and I am really satisfied with this. But I want to have an impressive music player for my ZN5. Do any one help me that where can I get this and how to install in this device. Also, I had E8 earlier but it didn't support any 3rd party software. Please help.
