Motorola has released on the market the new Krzr in both CDMA and GSM versions, the Motorola Krzr K1m for the CDMA users and Motorola Krzr K1 for GSM users. We must say that Krzr Motorola cell phones are much more appealing than the previous Razr family models.

At 4.05x1.73x0.67 inches, its narrower form makes it more distinguished, and though it is a bit thicker in profile, introduces a new standard of style and innovation.

The 76x220 pixel internal display creates a nice internet experience, while the 64MB of onboard flash memory and expandable microSD memory slot offers enough room for data storage. The Krzr Motorola cell phones have also the mini USB port included for synchronization with the PC. Also, the sound quality is good for phone calls, volume is good too and the integrated MP3 player delivers clear music.



One interesting improvement is the keypad. Although it looks similar to the previous RAZR keypad, it actually uses a new technology called electroforatic deposition, meaning that the keys are soft to the touch, with a rubbery feel.

The K1's phone book holds 1,000 entries while the SIM card holds an additional 250 entries. Every entry holds five phone numbers, three e-mails, a Web site URL, and three street addresses. Other basic features include a vibrate mode, a voice recorder, text and multimedia messaging, an alarm clock, a calendar, and a calculator. Enhanced options for the 2.0MP camera include a multishot function, brightness and white balance controls, a self timer, six color effects, five lighting choices, an 8X zoom, and five shutter sounds. The camcorder records clips in two preset resolutions (176x144 and 128x96) with sound, and editing options are similar to the photo camera.

The Krzr K1 can be personalized with a series of wallpaper, screensavers, menu styles, and color skins. If you want more options or more ring tones, you can download them via the WAP 2.0 wireless Web browser. For entertainment you get two Java (J2ME) games: BlockBreaker Deluxe and Platinum Sudoku.

The Motorola Krzr K1 has a rated talk time of 5.8 hours and a rated standby time of 12.5 days. The tests for the Krzr K1 show that it has an amazing talk time of 9 hours and 14 minutes.
