Motorola KRZR K1m goes live on Sprint

Sprint still hasn't quite learned the fine art of not getting shown up by CDMA rival Verizon for prompt releases of the hottest phones, partially on account of Verizon's tendency to lock up lucrative exclusivity agreements that last anywhere from a few...

Review: Motorola KRZR K1m Cell Phone

The RAZR is the runway models of cell phones: anorexic but fashionable. The new KRZR K1 is the same runway model, but with more memory,...

Touch-sensitive music controls will have you yelping “Cool!” aloud. Easy to navigate media player. Smaller folded size makes awkward bulge in pants slightly less awkward. Battery life, memory slot, camera resolution, screen brightness all improved from...

Touch-sensitive music controls way are too sensitive. Phone’s design is neither original nor innovative. No flash for camera. Awkward to flip open with one hand

Motorola Krzr K1 review:

Just when you thought Motorola couldn't ride the wave from its popular Razr any longer, the once-staid, now-cool company rolls out its line of Krzr handsets. Styled similar to the Razr but with a few important improvements, the Motorola Krzr K1m casts...

The Motorola Krzr K1m is downright sexy and offers Bluetooth, EV-DO support, and decent call quality.

The Motorola Krzr K1m suffers from metallic music quality, poor streaming videos, and sluggish performance. Also, it offers a lower-resolution camera than on the GSM Krzr K1.

Though it's oh-so pretty, the Motorola Krzr K1m doesn't offer any new features. Plus, multimedia performance wasn't reliable.

Motorola KRZR K1m (Sprint)

The Sprint KRZR's sticky interface, lack of stereo Bluetooth, and general ease-of-use issues prove that looks aren't everything.

Absolutely gorgeous. Excellent battery life. Good voice quality. Can download photos with Bluetooth.

Gummy user interface. No stereo Bluetooth. Other Sprint phones get you more for your money.

Motorola KRZR K1m

Motorola's new flagship phone is undeniably beautiful, but its performance is just average in terms of Verizon's lineup.

Absolutely gorgeous. Excellent battery life. Good voice quality. Can download photos with Bluetooth.

Somewhat iffy reception. Sluggish video playback. Music player could be easier to use.

Motorola KRZR K1m Review

The new KRZR K1m is a welcome improvement over the RAZR, but the improvements are only skin deep. The features of both phones are practically identical, except that the KRZR has MP3 controls on the front flip and better internal display. The KRZR is...

Slim design ; Call quality and reception ; Internal antenna ; Clear and sharp internal display ; MP3 music playback is loud and front controls are easy to use ; Speakerphone ; MicroSD memory card slot

External display is too small ; Camera quality is poor and lacks a flash ; Outdated Verizon menus ; Fingerprints are easily shown on the front of the phone ; Metallic keypad reflects sunlight into your eyes making it difficult to see

Motorola KRZR K1m

The KRZR K1M is the RAZR's better-looking sister. Looking more like a fashion accessory than a piece of technology, the K1M is an attractive iteration in the firmly established RAZR franchise. The K1M is a CDMA phone (Sprint, Verizon, Bell, Telus,...

Motorola Krzr K1m Review - Reviews - WirelessInfo.com - Cell Phone Reviews and Wireless Plan Ratings

The Krzr K1m represents another attempt by Motorola to capture the magic of the Razr series of phones. Motorola seems to have done a solid job with the Krzr K1m's form factor as it is an attractive phone and will appeal to those looking for a fashion...

The Motorola Krzr K1m is a mid range handset that competes with a plethora of other mid range handsets with multimedia features like the LG Chocolate and Samsung Sync. We liked the Krzr K1m's styling, but beyond that there's not a lot to recommend the...

Motorola KRZR K1m Review

Motorola certainly has been at the top of their industry in coming up with the most innovative cell phones with lots of neat features, a sleek look, and bizarre names. The new Motorola KRZR K1 lives up to all that and then some. The KRZR body is...

Motorola KRZR K1m Review

As the phone that dares to be the latest edition of the RAZR phone series, the Motorola KRZR K1m had better be hip, trim, and on the cutting-edge of cell phone fashion. Fortunately, at least in terms of design, the KRZR rises to the challenge

With its glossy metallic-glass frontplate and its ultra-trim design, the KRZR K1m is arguably the shiniest, slimmest, swankiest mobile phone on the market. Users on the lookout for revolutionary style and compactness should be very happy with the KRZR
