Rating: - Shape of things to come!
The sheer artistic perfection and asthetics of this phone almost belie it's functionality - it is not just another pretty face. What prompted me to buy it besides it's cosmetic appeal is the dimensions. The best-selling RAZR was tad too wide for me to use one-handed due to it's width. The KRZR - [I have heard two different pronounciations of it: "Krayzer" and "Cruiser" - I lean towards the latter] - is taller, but narrower and fits like a tailored glove. Sound reception is great, additional features are superb (8x zoom on a 2.0 MP camera; up to 2Gb additional capacity by adding a Micro-SD; stereo Bluetooth capability, E-mail access, Web browser are my favorites). This unlocked GSM phone enabled me to pop in the SIM from my existing provider and go from there, and I am really looking forward to when I travel with it, obtain pre-paid SIMS for other countries, and pop them in and go...all that after listening to hours of music on it's mp3 player on the flight over. This is an advance in the technology of smaller and finer electronics, which seems to be one of the most heavily concentrated areas of technology as of late, and we are just starting to scratch the surface - but what a dent the MOTOKRZR has made.
Rating: - unsure
I bought the KRZR last Saturday. The same evening, my screen began blanking out. My screen was very dark and seemed to have some sort of shortage. I took the phone back to my cell phone company to have it replaced. As I was waiting, another customer came in with the same exact problem!
Its a great phone with awesome features! My advice is to wait and see if there is a recall on these phones since its so new!
Rating: - Nice phone, but the Phone Tool software does not work with it.
It is a shame that Motorola build such a great phone, but no driver for it. The Motorola Phone Tool software 4.0 does not support this phone. Go through live Internet update to version 4.35, still no driver for it. Tried Motorola web site, there is no driver download for this phone. Contacted Motorol support, they say they setup a special support line 800-972-1837 for this KRZR phone. Called that number and opened case with them. Three days later, on the phone with their support engineers and managers for over 10 hours, still could not get the driver.
Motorola suggested to pay Verizon to enable the Internet services, then sync the phonebook that way. We are not ready to pay Verizon $50 per phone per month to just sync up the phone book.
In this Internet age, you would think any technology company would put all their support materials and drivers on the Internet for people to download. Not with Motorola. I guess they afraid LG would look their support material and making better phone than Motorola, so they would rather hide the driver in their grandma's mattress -- even their own support engineer could not find that driver....
Rating: - Really Impressive phone
This is a great phone. What impressed me most about it was several things. One was its sleek design and feel. If you liked the RAZR, this phone will really knock your socks off. It's not quite as wide as the RAZR, which makes it easier on the hands, and it's solid construction makes you feel like you're holding a quality product. I love how it snaps shut after you finish a call. It's satisfying. Two, it has better reception than the RAZR, or at least it seems that way to me. I don't have any data to support this claim, but I have fewer dropped calls on this phone, and the volume is much better. I don't find myself pressing the phone against my ear like I used to do with the RAZR, which is really nice. Three, I dig the MP3 and multimedia features. I popped a 2GB card in the phone and loaded about 50 of my favorite songs and about 75 family photos in it. It's great because now I can set the phone alarm to wake up to my favorite songs, or set ring tones to whatever tune I have loaded on it. Also, I setup a playlist and listed to it while jogging the other day. I was most impressed. I also created a family album on the phone and showed it to friends in a slideshow format. It was funny. Rather than complimenting me on my beautiful family, they focused their comments on the photo quality of my phone. I was like, dude. Anyway, if you like cool phones, I totally recommend this one. Yeah it's pricey, but from my perspective, it's worth it. One last comment. I'm a Cingular customer and they, if you haven't noticed, haven't offered the KRZR K1 phone to their customers yet. Well, that's okay. You can still use this phone on thier network. All you have to do is take the phone out of the box, pop in your old SIM card from your previous phone, then call Cingular and ask them to activate it. They will ask you for the IMEI number located on the box and within minutes, you will be connected. It was a snap. Enjoy!
