The KRZR is simply amazing and the best among all in the moto stable. Video & Pic Quality is superb. Good change from V3i : Full Screen Video / Pic Viewer, Much faster, Side View of Display is clear unlike V3i, Direct setting of MP3 Ringtones from Memcard Possible. MP3 player works with flip closed. Phone is more SEXXY though a little fatter than the V3i. Though I find the absence of FM radio and A2DP is unpardonable.

Being in the mobile industry i was invited to attend a motorola function previewing this phone.
The phone itself is great looking and great to use but the features of the phone are not as up to date as you would expect.
Yet again motorola seem to be churning out phones that arent really much better than the last one and definatly not up to date with the market leaders.
They broke into the world of 3G...GREAT!! why no 3G on this phone?? with 3.2 and now 5 megapixel cameras released why only a 2?? Can anyone tell me why they would choose this phone over the v3x??
Go on motorola you need to be brave release a phone that not only looks good and runs ok but that also has the features to back it up with!!

this phone looks great, but why don´t wait until motorola krzr k1i...
If they did with the razr v3i and the slvr l7i sure they will do with this one too.

Personally I think K1 is a good choice for those people with smaller hands, wants a decent camera phone, decent features like bluetooth and MP3 player. Cannot deny that I own one, but due to my perference for phone with OS that support more applications, I am owning a Dopod 818 Pro as well. I don't know where to find any facts that Motorola steal some company design or employ a 3rd party company to design the phone but I only know they used 3rd party IC chips(I will not reveal the company) and before even the release of V3, the software engineers had never even seen the actual phone and were using sample circuit board for the testing. Those eggshell or egg shape traditional phones are released to mass population countries like China and India I guess as I cannot find them in Singapore after V3 released. Erm can I know when is the date Samsung announce the phone of Z510 and Z540?? I think was 2005 Q4 they announced ... and V3 was announced on 2004 Q3 as I will not be wrong cos I ... :P Samsung see that going slim is a way to win back its market share, so with one year and the money resources of Samsung(Is not only a mobile phone company :)) they cannot develop something that is better than V3 will be a joke. True enough I was very impressed with Samsung UI during the communicAsia 2006.

---"What for Motorola needs to dig out more on its resources to get the phone design to be slimmer if some companies are paying the rights to their patents for each phone sold."--
Are you trying to say that motorolla has patent for thin calmshell and Samsung is paying them for their new models? So far I knew they have to design all new thinner chip-sets to put it in such a thin phones. and Samsung is using their own tech and thats why they are keep making them..coz they already have the know-how. If moto has the design they used in RAZR then why there is no other model that has the same thinkness as of Razr anymore? even after the release of razr moto kept making their traditional egg-shaped calmshells with external antena. That made me feel like maybe moto used someone else's chipset design for SLVR and RAZR. I might be wrong but I have not seen any facts to prove wrong either.
Anyways,, I guess its not the right forum to talk about it...some people might think I'm baised and giving negetive comments and all. Just to assure you guys and Gangsta Moto...I'm not a person how will post a single line saying "Moto Sucks and someother brand Rocks" without explaining why. Personally I liked V3x design(not razr) and I believe this KARZ has got all the potential to be another success story for moto.
So cheers!

Hi. I think talking about companys comercial strategys is useless in this forum and it would be more interesting if ppl talk about their experience with the phone.
however I'd like to answer some posts and defend the idea of the motorola's marketing strategy about some of their phones having same based design.
Have you seen a Porche that looks like a Ferrari???
almost all brans of any kind try to find a "look" of their own. This is not at all new, and I don't think is bad...
Motorola made probably the first design object that was also a slim phone with the V3, it's logical if they go that way in the design, that phone IS motorola.
When you see the new K1 you don't have to ask wich brand is it.
BTW I think the phone is beautiful. I'd like to read more useful opinions on it. Is the camera so bad?? or ppl say this because it's 2 MP. Personally I don't need more than that
cheers!

This phone is considered not bad for users that wants a good feel, decent camera (2MP) and decent features, to me is 7.5/10. Some ignorant posters here always hoo-ha about how good what brand/model is or what ever improvement they have. In reality any feature can be patent by a particular company example clamshell(Motorola) and built in radio(Nokia). People should know that once the feature get its patents, any company using that methology needs to pay it rights. That is why Nokia only starts to build clamshell phones 2 years ago. So if RAZR is launched earlier than the slimmest Samsung and get its certain patents. What for Motorola needs to dig out more on its resources to get the phone design to be slimmer if some companies are paying the rights to their patents for each phone sold.

To Kal and NotNeeded...
Both of ya'll need to find something interesting to you... comment or no comment... opinion site or no opinion site... the fact remains that you guy's continiously and unfalingly continue to slate Motorola and for some unknown reason... ya'll actually feel you are justified in doing so... yet you feel it's not right for me or anyone else to defend it.
If you guy's so don't like Motorola why do ya'll keep coming back??? Why in this crazy world can't you just accept that the phone does what it's supposed to do... and very well too...?
You guy's and the Moderators on this site baffle me... Notneeded is voting i get banned just cos he can't accept the fact that his arguments are baseless.. spelling bad... plus he's figting a losing cause.
In all seriousness... I don't like Nokia's, samsungs or whatever else is out there but I'm 100% sure u guy's would not see me on their opinion pages cos It's a waste of time... plus they make good products as far as their customers are concerned so why waste my time going on there to rain negative comments on them.
Do you guy's rally think you have made any impact on here with all ur negative slating of Moto?... then hide behind the reason of "ur allowed to give ur opinion".. well if thats the case i'm allowed too and if it's from the otherside... the positive side then u better believe I will.
I mean ya'll come on here shouting o the camera is this... the software is that.. the size is this... the design is that... what exactly is your point??? or what are you trying to achieve???
The part that makes me laugh the most is that you guy's have never seen the phones.. used them or anything... don't you sincerely feel it's a very pety thing you guy's do?... arguments and debates are healthy... if it turns negative becos someone i.e Notneeded is hurt b'cos i totally ripped apart his opinion on here... talking about vocab yet look at his posts... unbelievably bad English... must have done spellchecks on his last post cos that one's a little better. Talking about wannabe gangster... I ain't a G but definitely have made an impression on here like Kal recogized... him on the otherhand just describes exactly what him and his opinions are..."NOTNEEDED"
I don't give two about the moderators on here... no matter how many times they remove my posts if i come on and see some untrue opinion thats just plain biased, baseless and negative... I will respond in anyway i wanna... the most they can do is take it off and I'll post it again like they already know.
Just so ya'll Moderators know... Act right and stop being biased...

I have a question for "Gansta Moto" and "Richard Buchanan" probably the two most STRONGEST moto defender in this forum.
Its natural to think that when a company pioneer a technology and have success they keep on going on the same line and even improve it. For a example Samsung is using a great deal of resouces on slimming down their models while maintaing same features and its getting thinner by day.
Now I wonder what happens to Moto. Years back they launched the thinnest phone in the market RAZR which doesnt resembled any of their previous models, their market share went high..they had a huge sale and thats it...none of their new models are getting thinner any more. Do you have any knowledge on that. Please add then.
Coz I always had a doubt and its growing everyday that the RAZR design was outsourced and not motos own design. If it's their own there would be much thinner models by now.
If you have anything to add please do so in a healthy manner and keep this place clean. Thanks.

Now there, buddy, there is no need to be disrespectful of the moderators. they are running a great site. If you don't like it, go to another forum...
To get here, you have to click on a link that reads "Read Opinions" - That's what people are doing here is posting their opinions. Some with proper english, others pretending to be gansters. My opinion of this phone has been made clear, at this point, i'm just bothered by one person posting ignorant comments. I vote he gets banned, since he has nothing intelligent to provide the rest of us with.

And as for GangstaMoto, Read your post and tell me seriously, you think you english write good? hehe... poor sap is projecting his problems. Been able to afford 1 motorola phone and has 100% satisfaction... you 1 in 50 my friend, because that is the actual defect rate. except K1 - is 9/10 defective!
Good luck with it, i hope it will continue to satisfy you for the next 5 years, or the time it takes you to beg enough money for the next ProblemMoto.
