I bought the KRZR K1 only after scrutinizing it and several other phones in the same price/features category. This is my first Motorola phone...I've always been a loyal Nokia user. I read EVERY review I could find on the Web, and carefully checked the product specs. I am happy to report (after owning and testing the K1 for over a month now...) that the phone lives up to all of the fine things the reviewers have said about it! Everybody raves about the LOOKS of this phone...and with good reason....it is a true gem of phone engineering! There are two things that make me MOST HAPPY, and both of them were surprises: (1) The Home Keys are customizable! If you include the "Smart Key" on the left side, there are 7 keys that can be customized to open your most used functions at the touch of a button. Mine are set to Calculator, Datebook, Alarm Clock, Message Center, Phonebook, Ring Styles, and Camera. Also related, and really useful is the ability to touch one of the volume buttons on the side (while the unit is closed) to check your Ring Tone setting. By clicking the Smart Key (located just under the volume buttons) you can change your Ring Tone to "Silent" just before falling into bed, or stepping into church :-) Its also worth mentioning here that the Main Menu can be reordered to suit your needs by making your most used applications more easy to select....very nice! (2) The absence of delays between applications! This was my constant gripe with my Nokia (model 6600...otherwise a great phone). The KRZR K1 performs perfectly and quickly. There has never been a "freeze", blank screen, system reset, or anything like what I experienced with the Nokia 6600. So, I am a very satisfied K1 owner! I have no regrets that I bought the KRZR K1. As I said, before I bought the phone, I carefully checked all of its features....so I knew that there was no Note Pad on the phone....and of course, it is not marketed as a PDA! But still...a Note Pad is a wonderful thing to have on a phone; and it would earn my "EXCELLENT" rating. How about on the next model, Motorola???Read full review
This phone is a multimedia phone at heart. It has anything you could need and then some. In my opinion the KRZR K1 out weighs the K1M. The KRZR K1M is a CDMA phone for services such as sprint and verizon. While the KRZR K1 is for gsm services such as at&t and t-mobile. While both share different features, the K1M lacks opposed to the K1. I.E. The KRZR K1 has a 2.0MP Camera while the KRZR K1M has a 1.0MP Camera. The KRZR K1 has easy access to your micro sd slot on top of your sim card for fast-swapping photo albums and music. The KRZR K1M has a micro sd slot which is damn near impossible to swap without using a mini flat-head screwdriver. The KRZR K1 has no bluetooth file restrictions. Meaning you can make your own mp3 ringtones and send them via bluetooth to your phone. The KRZR K1M has bluetooth file restriction as you are forced to pay 3 dollars for sprint or verizons rintones. The KRZR K1 has a video recorder as a feature which allows you to record videos at as long as 1 minute with sound. The K1M stops at 30 seconds. The KRZR K1 has wonderful music quality and i have been hearing that the quality on the K1M suffers a lot. The KRZR K1 has seamless multitasking and navigation without a hitch. The KRZR K1M is often jerky and unresponsive to certain button pushes and commands. What im trying to get at here if you have not noticed is the K1 beats the K1M. If you are going for just appeal grab the K1M if you are going for appeal and performance get the K1. I have had this phone going on a year and i love it. It is small enough to shove in that little coin pocket on your jeans and is really customized if you make your own wallpapers and ringtones. While the K1 even lacks some minor features, the huge feature is the fact neither the K1 or the K1M is a 3G phone. C'mon motorola, the razr v3 had 3g support, squeeze it in the KRZR! Overall this is a preety slick phone and still somewhat new enough to have a 1-up on style on others. It will keep you happy for some time...or until they release 3G support.Read full review
Before you start reading this, let me get one thing out there and clear. I HATE MOTOROLA and their phones. But after looking over all the others, I settled with the KRZR K1m, which doesn't have a review page, so I'll add to this. I have lots of reviews about MP3 Players, PMP's, and even a Samsung A970 cell phone, so here goes. Pro: Loud Speakers,MP3 Player,GPS Navigation,Large Contact Book,Voice Commands, Touchscreen MP3 Player buttons, Bluetooth Cons:1.3 MP Camera, Non 2GB Micro SD Card Compatable, Somewhat "stripped" version of K1 The only real reason I'm writing this is to vent about all the things that should of been in this great phone. Overall, it's small,loud, and has all the bells and whistles and teen to late 20's kid would want. I don't see why the 2.0 camera was taken out for a downgrade to 1.3,maybe because the 2.0 was VGA and the 1.3 is Opitial? If this was meant to have MP3 function, then why does it have a meager 500MB of on board memory? Were they thinking that their users would really downgrade their songs to 48kbps or lower so they could fit more songs on? And why, just why does the K1 support 2GB Micro SD cards and the K1m doesn't? It doesn't make scene. You can put in the SD card, but it won't read the the 0.7GB rest... WTF Stop screwing customers. If a singular customers gets all the extras, don't shortchange the rest of the Carriers.Read full review
If you want a sexy, sleek looking phone and have the extra money.... then this phone is for you!!! If you use your phone as an organizer, media center, and mini PDA.... then this phone can do NOTHING for you (go for the Sony Ericsson W810i). Pros: - NOT WIDE like the Razr - Excellent Voice quality for incoming and outgoing calls. - Excellent battery life - Decent pictures - Excellent design. It's an eye candy. - You can check email from Yahoo or Hotmail for free. - Works with any bluetooth headset - Does NOT have that cheap, plastic feel to it Cons: - Slighty more difficult to navigate for people with larger fingers - Fingerprint/smudge magnet! It's almost impossible not to have your fingerprints on the phone! - Not many features, memory, tools, etc. - Any scratch you make on this baby is going to break your heart :o( =========================== BASICALLY, REALLY SEXY EYE CANDY!!! I personally need more features, so I ended up returning this phone and purchasing a Sony W810i)Read full review
Well what do you know? Motorola decides to revamp its RAZR line and create a whole new item, but with a CDMA/EV-DO twist. Seeing this item at a Motorola fair definitely gave me some ideas. Of course, it has the basics of a Verizon Wireless V Cast Music cell phone: 1.3MP camera and video camera, microSD card, V CAST/EV-DO functionality (you can tether it to your laptop), bluetooth, and a sleek design. But here's where my opinion comes into play. I just don't like the design of the previous RAZR. It's hard to hold in your hand, it's fat, and honestly? It just feels flimsy to me, and that's a bad thing for me, considering I apparently love to drop all my phones haha. In comes the KRZR. The KRZR is about half the width of its predecessor, and shorter as well, so it's SO much easier to hold! Also, the intenna (the bottom part of the phone) protrudes its signal much better than before. Test calls were loud and clear, and they rock. But what REALLY takes the cream of the crop is its encasing. The RAZR is kind of plastic-feeling; this one is SO much more hot! And on the front display, you have touch-sensitive music controls for that avid music fan in you. The only downside? The microSD card is hard to insert and remove under the battery's casing, but then again, I use a USB cable for all that, so no worries to that one :). Final verdict? Same features, MUCH better design! So compelling to pay the $199 for a 2-year agreement, but it is expensive too for pretty much the same features as the RAZR. I guess that's your choice on how you feel...=)Read full review
