Aged Design But Still Going Strong as Basic Phone
9 of 9 found this helpful Pros:
Durable, reliable, good audio quality, and strong signal
Cons:
Aging style, weaker camera by today's standards, limited in more advanced network features compared to current phones, and not the best for text messaging
Need an inexpensive (or likely free with contract) basic phone for voice use? Not into using phone as camera all the time? Don't need phone and PDA in one device? The Moto V3m is a strong contender. For me, a camera is a camera, not a phone or PDA. Likewise a PDA is a PDA, not a phone. While the V3m is now a backup and I switch my account to it when doing something that might risk cell phone damage, it does what I want a phone to do, make reliable voice calls, and it does it very well. That and its current "contract" price are likely why it's the most ubiquitous phone seen where I work. While there are a few phones mechanically more robust like the KRZR and maxx Ve I have, and the V9m my wife currently uses, the V3m is more than sufficient, and still fares better than many others I've handled from other phone makers. I don't recommend it for most kids who tend to physically abuse phones, nor for anyone else that believes a phone should also double as a hockey puck. It won't take it, but with reasonable care it will last a very long time.
Two more dislikes, but they're related to Verizon and the phone as it comes from Verizon out of the box, not Motorola or the V3m. It's the UI (User Interface), which is not Motorola's generic UI (found on most other CDMA carriers' V3m), and how Verizon cripples numerous features Motorola built into the phone. However, unlike many other phone makers (e.g. LG or Samsung), the Moto phones can be converted back to what Motorola originally intended in its design by flashing it with either generic Motorola (development team) firmware, or the firmware used by one of several other CDMA carriers, and then service programmed for Verizon's network (and one's own account with Verizon). Takes a little work, but it's not horribly difficult. Converted back to Motorola's user interface, with various features re-enabled (e.g. ability to use USB cable to upload and download ringtones, music and photos), it's a marvelous phone.

Excellent lock for school or gym lockers with modest value contents
Knollan designed this lock. If you've seen the Master Speed Dial 1500iD, Master licensed the design from Knollan. The strength of this lock resisting decoding the combination will be determined by the complexity of the combination you set. Use a simple one and it's likely someone will guess it quickly - and do NOT use the Konami Code! After U D L R, it's the next one in the attack. Follow the directions carefully and precisely and setting a new combination is simple. Don't follow them and you can brick the lock although there are some possible recoveries such as using the old combination plus the new one in sequence to see if that works. I put in an eight move combination without any problem. Unlike dial combination locks, there's no means to decode the combination by feeling for the wheel gates and its shackle cannot be shimmed. Unless someone can guess the combination, the only means to defeat it is by physical destruction. If I were to improve this lock I would harden it against physical destruction starting with the aluminum alloy body and redesigning how its held together by concealing and protecting the screws while it's locked. Given that it can be destructively defeated without having to put forth considerable effort, it's a good lock for uses such as school and gym lockers with relatively low value contents in places where people are present and would notice someone physically attacking the lock with brute force. I wouldn't use it to protect high value items. It's not a high security lock that can resist moderate physical attack using common tools.

Stunning Good Looks in a Phone and Music Player
14 of 15 found this helpful Pros:
Durable, reliable, good signal strength and great audio quality. Much more stylish than the original RAZR with stunningly good looks, its slim body allows it to ride sideways on a belt more easily than wider bodied phones. Battery has decent life once it's been recharged a number of times. Build quality and Verizon firmware updates following the phone's initial release into the marketplace improved the phone considerably. (See caveats in "Cons" section.)
Cons:
Front panel can be scratched and/or cracked (other than that, it's quite sturdy). This isn't a phone for knocking around in a book bag, colliding with keys and other sharp objects at the bottom of a large purse, banging into things while worn on a belt, or for carrying around in a box of rocks. The initial reputation of the KRZR K1m suffered by a lack of manufacturing quality in the early ones that first hit the streets (related to manufacturing, not design), and by the original version of Verizon's proprietary firmware having some bugs. Using it as a music player requires connecting the headphones to the phone via its USB port which some may not like (doesn't bother me at all).
Want a basic phone that can also be used as an occasional music player that has some style to it? Don't need to do non-stop texting all day? Don't need it to double as a mid-grade camera or PDA? The KRZR might be for you. I'm an individualist and don't like following "The Herd" or having things that would give anyone the impression I'm part of "The Herd." Saw so many V3m at work that I got the KRZR K1m and relegated the V3m to backup and beater (although it's also an excellent phone). Not many KRZR are seen where I work, likely because they're not "free" with a contract (although recently they were nearly free). Operates just like a narrower but very slightly thicker version of the V3m, and just as well. Also easier to use as an occasional music player than the RAZR V3c/m with basic MP3 player controls on the front and sides; it doesn't have to be opened. If you want continuous music playing in your ears all day, get an iPod, but if all you want is some music occasionally, you won't need the iPod. The hinge is more robust than the RAZR V3 series. Although the initial builds when the K1m was first released into the market suffered some manufacturing quality issues, this was quickly fixed. Builds that followed (and current) are much better. Likewise, the initial version of Verizion's proprietary firmware had some bugs, and this has been fixed as well. The KRZR K1m is my daily phone and will remain so into the foreseeable future. I've been extremely happy with it.
Two dislikes related to Verizon, not with Motorola or the K1m. Verizon's proprietary firmware imposes a more cumbersome and inconvenient UI (user interface) and cripples numerous features in the phone (e.g. USB transfer of music, ringtones and photos). Unlike most other makers' phones (e.g. LG or Samsung), most Moto phones including the K1m can be restored back to what Motorola originally intended with UI and features with generic Motorola (development team) firmware. Takes a little work as it also requires service programming the phone for Verizon's network and one's Verizon account, and doing so with attention to detail (and the proper tools). Fully unleashed with Moto's UI and crippled features restored, it transforms from a good phone to a great phone.
