Give the magic: HP dv5t
Motorola ZN5 vs. Sony Ericsson C902
By CNET Staff
JUDGES: Kent German, Bonnie Cha, and Nicole Lee
Though camera phones are nearly ubiquitous in the United States, most models remain nothing more than simple toys. They may work in a pinch, but they can't compete with standalone cameras by any measure. In the last two years, however, we've seen camera phone resolution improve from 2 megapixels to 3.2 and now up to 5. And as camera resolution has improved, the range of camera features and photo quality have grown right along with it. We now have a number of camera phones that can give budget point-and-shoot cameras a run for their money. And just in the last month, we're had the opportunity to review three such models. In this Prizefight, we pit T-Mobile's Motorola ZN5 against the unlocked Sony Ericsson C902. The 5-megapixel ZN5 comes armed with a heavy arsenal (Moto partnered with Kodak to design the phone), while the 5-megapixel C902 brings a solid Sony Ericsson Cyber-shot tradition to the ring. Read on to see which phone will prevail. The winner will go on to face the 8-megapixel Samsung Innov8 in the next Prizefight.
Let's have a clean fight, fellas. Ding ding!
Editors' note: The Prizefight scoring system is as follows: At the end of each round, we will take an average of the three judges' scores. The final score for each phone will be an average of all five rounds.
