4.0 out of 5 stars I love this phone, October 28, 2008

By 

lovebuzz (HOLLYWOOD, USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Motorola ZN4 Krave Phone, Black (Verizon Wireless) (Wireless Phone)

heres a quick story....

i called Verizon and told them about a problem with my current phone and the representive said i was able to receive a discount on a new phone. did i wanna get a new phone? i said there arent any good phones i like out there,
I told him i like the touch phones but i only like flip phones so i never got a touch one, he then told me that they just came out a couple weeks ago with a brand new flip touch phone, i was like "no way!!" so i went to their website and checked it out. They have a "no risk guarantee" so i decided to get it, and....I LOVE IT!!

the things i hate are #1, they charge you for the visual voicemail because that was one of the BIG selling points when the rep. told me about the Krave (but didnt mention they charge you) i think that really sucks, #2 there are NO features on the camcorder and phone, just zoom...thats it!! and #3 the shortcuts when the lid is down are not useful for me, there is V-CAST TV, which i dont want or need, MY MUSIC, which isnt real useful cause i have a Ipod and dont need music, NAVIGATOR, i own a GPS in my car so i dont need it and PICS which is the only thing i use, and #4 the camcorder is kinda crappy looking, very pixelated

i mean but other then the things i mentioned above, it is a AWESOME phone and so glad i got it, its bright, the touch screen is pretty acurate and the speaker is AMAZINg, loud and very crisp sponding.

the only problem i found is that since its such a new phone, Verizon doesnt have the GET IT NOW software available so you cant download ringtones, at least thats what the guy in the store told me when i went to question why i couldnt download ringtones.

IT GETS MY VOTE.....GO GET IT!!

2.0 out of 5 stars Absurdly slow, January 8, 2009

By 

threepenpals - See all my reviews

This review is from: Nokia 2600 Phone, Black (AT&T) (Wireless Phone)

My roughly 3 year old phone was finally due for a replacement because it had started 'freezing'. I wanted something basic and reliable, and this looked like it would fit the bill. The phone is basic, which I think is good. However, it is ridiculously slow. For example there is a delay of about 3 seconds between pressing the 'menu' button and the menu showing up! I honestly can't believe that basic functions on Nokia's entry-level phones seem to have become slower over the last several years.

5.0 out of 5 stars this phone takes touch to the next level, January 11, 2009

This review is from: Motorola ZN4 Krave Phone, Black (Verizon Wireless) (Wireless Phone)

Motorola has hit one out of the park with the Krave Z4N. I debtated buying this phone for more than a month -- so it was not an impulse buy the way phone buying has typically been for me. I read up on this one and was ultimately impressed enough to give it a try, and I am glad I did. The touch screen is not only beautiful, but highly accurate. The only times I have missed touching the right number or letter were when I was getting used to the sidelong orientation of the flip when opened to the left (for texting using the vitual qwerty) -- this is not at all a fatal flaw in the phone's design. You really do adjust to it with practice and it becomes second nature. It doesn't matter if your fingers are huge or tiny, you don't have to touch hard to make things happen. I even suspect that this phone is psychic, as I swear sometimes I only have to think of hitting a letter and it works. :)

Ringtones are no problem. Just edit your own clips (I use Audacity with the LAME mp3 encoder) and save them as mp3s about 20 - 28 seconds long. Use a microSD card to move it from your PC to the phone, then send it to yourself as a picture message. Upon opening the file, touch its icon and you have the option to save it, or SAVE AS RINGTONE. Ta-da. Works with any song, unless copy protected from having been purchased through the iTunes store before they liberated their tracks.

This phone is my "instead of an iPhone" phone. Sure, no WIFI, but you don't need it because Verizon's high speed network saturates the air everywhere I have been anyway.

Really, a beautiful phone with great features.
