5.0 out of 5 stars Luxurious Phone, May 3, 2007

By	J. P. Anthony "J. P. A." (Sligo, PA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

The Motorola KRZR K1 is a very stylish phone. It will surely impress people. The only thing you need to worry about buying this phone from Amazon is that it may come from another country. This means that an American adapter is included for the foreign plug and the language is in British English, which is not a big deal but odd for people used to Personalize instead of personalise. The phone is extremely shiny because it is made of polished metal and glass. Glass is an odd material for a mobile phone, but looks nice considering how fragile it is. The screen color and resolution are also very nice. Call quality is decent. All in all a 9 out of ten for looks and 8 out of ten for quality.

5.0 out of 5 stars A good first flip phone..., May 15, 2007

By	Patrick Byington "Strangely Engaging" (Germany) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Okay, before I get into this. I have to let everyone know that this is the first flip phone I've ever owned. All of my previous phones were candybar style Nokias. The KRZR is an excellent phone, still a little pricy, but beautiful to behold. The MP3 player function is quite good. The volume and clarity for such a small object are top notch. Colors are bright and vibrant. I think my favorite feature of all of them is the voice command function. That in itself made it worthy of a five star rating. I have only one complaint. The menus can be quite complex and detail intensive at times. The manual deffinitely came in handy a couple of times. But otherwise this thing is worth its weight in gold.

4.0 out of 5 stars a nice upgrade to the RAZR, July 16, 2007

By	Kenting (San Jose Area, CA USA) - See all my reviews

I purchased an unlocked, midnight blue version of the K1 KRAZR for $99 by renewing my T-Mobile contract for 2 years at my neighborhood cellphone store. (Not many stores will sell you an unlocked phone, so this will not be an option for most people.) Compared to the RAZR, I was surprised at first at how much heavier it feels in the hand and also how much thicker it looks. It is actually just slightly thicker than the RAZR, but because it is so narrow (and heavy) it feels much thicker than it really is.

Even though I miss the elegant styling of the RAZR, the KRAZR beats it hands down on features: a camera with half-decent resolution (finally - why did it take so long?), video camera, memory card slot, voice recognition, and MP3 capability. The form factor, while not as pleasing to me as the RAZR, does fit nicely into the hand. The voice recognition could come in handy for hands-free phone use when driving, and each time I have tried it, it has worked flawlessly.

By the way, the memory card you need for this phone is a Micro SD card. If you buy a SanDisk Transflash package, it will come with an adapter that allows you to read it in an regular SD card reader (which is standard on some cameras and desktop computers). I bought a 256 Mb Transflash package on Amazon from Blue Proton for $9.48 including shipping.

As for negatives, the Motorola software is still not up to par, and you will need to refer to the manual to figure out how to do some tasks that should be obvious. My pet peeve is that the Recent Calls screen will only list a number once, so if you missed three calls from the same person, the phone will only show the last, most recent call. Apparently the folks at Motorola don't care if someone has been trying to reach us urgently but didn't leave a vmail every time. I also haven't figured out how to copy the phone book from the SIM card to the phone memory all at once, rather than one number at a time -- what is Motorola thinking?
