Reflecting the design language of the super-slim RAZR line of handsets, the KRZR K1m exudes pure luxury with clean lines, precision detailing and premium materials shrouded within a distinctive metallic gloss front finish. A 1.9-inch color screen on the inside of the flip brings images and videos to life, while a small supplementary color display on the outside cover keeps tabs on your incoming call information and more. The 1.3 megapixel camera is housed above this display. Below the display, you'll find unique touch-sensitive music controls. The KRZR K1m features an internal antenna, so there's nothing to snag or break off, and a MicroSD slot adds ample storage space to store content. Lastly, a mini USB port is provided for data synchronization.

White Krzr K1m (Verizon).......2007-05-09

I bought the Verizon Krzr, the white phone. It is an upgrade from the Razr V3m, which debuted July 2006.

I really enjoyed the Razr and was looking forward to another Motorola. I usually upgrade phones every year. I was waiting for the Rzr Vxx (Maxx??) from verizon, came out this week. Checked it out and was unimpressed. I wanted smaller not bigger.

Most Verizon phones are "cookie-cutters" of each other. Almost all have the same features due to verizon putting the standard Verizon firmware on every phone they sell. So basically, phones only differ in their styling when it comes to high-end phone anyways.

So, the Krzr is not as wide as the Razr, and basically all the same features, micro sd, mp3, the works. The Krz adds mp3 player controls on the outside of the phone, but remain inactive when not using the mp3 mode, so no worries there of pushing buttons in your pocket.

The Krzr feels better in my hand, easier to hit every button with my thumb without getting carpel tunnel, the razr wasn't as easy to get to all the buttons single handed.

The call quality is excellent, almost always is on Motorola phones. My GF just upgraded as well from an LG, primarily because she said it was so much easier to hear people when she used my phone.

The battery life is slightly longer than the Razr V3m, I charge my phone every 3 or 4 days, depending on how much I talk. If you talk for hours a day, you will have to charge every night I'm sure.

Moto uses iTap for text messaging instead of T9. It is a bit to get used to, but once you do it is much better. iTap is intuitive and learns how you type. So if you use a lot of slang, over time, iTap will learn your slang and start putting the words in for you. The Downside is, if you constantly misspell a word, iTap learns the misspelling too.

The screen is smaller than on the Razr, but it does look sharper and brighter in a side by side comparison to my Razr. I prefer the screen on the Krzr. Plus, the Krzr has a newer version of the Verizon firmware, providing the Krzr with screen adjustments such as brightness, also lets you change the look of the outside screen, a feature not on the Razr.

The white is kind of silver, not pure white anyways. The front has a mirror finish. I prefered the white to the grey, as I already had a grey razr, plus no one has a white phone. The Krzr is virtually identical to the Razr, only smaller, and has a few miniscule upgrades. I like the Krzr and recommend it.

Customer service disaster.......2007-02-17

DO NOT buy this phone unless you're willing to endure continuous calls from Verizon Wireless if you try to close your account.

Last week, shortly after telling Verizon's sales person I was switching to T-Mobile because their Customer Service is a disaster, I began getting three to five calls each day that hang up as soon as I answer. Doing a *69 revealed they were coming from 1-800-470-0768, Verizon Wireless' number. Calling a supervisor (Jasen) resulted in an apology and him putting me on their Do Not Call list, which he says won't take effect for 30 days. He also said this is a "known problem with Verizon's auto-dialer" for which Verizon has no solution. It's only noon and so far today I've gotten three calls from them, two hangups and another sales pitch to upgrade my phones and stay with Verizon Wireless.

I'd rather stick needles in my eyes.

A very cool phone by Motorola.......2007-02-15

Please notice that the phone uses a MicroSD card, not miniSD card.

The Moto K1m has a solid build and very sleek design. Battery life is incredibly long. It uses a mini-USB plug to recharge, which means you can charge it with your PC, and also share the same USB cable with PS3 wireless controllers, Canon digital cameras, some Moto Bluetooth handsets, and more.

The MP3 player is cool, but you'll need a Bluetooth stereo headphone/headset to listen to it. There's no traditional headphone/mic jack. When music is playing, you can close the flip, the three control buttons (LEDs) light up. Song information rolls through the front display. The front screen's LEDs have touch sensors. They are turned out for a preset time to conserve battery. The MP3 feature will be worthwhile just showing to your friends.

The phone is powerful too. But unfortunately the locked model provided by Verizon limits the functions deliberately (so you have to pay them to get the ringtones, themes, etc). Bluetooth and USB file transfer between PC and phone or between phones is blocked. Ringtone and theme transfer is all blocked even if you use latest Motorola Phone Tools. The phone's menus are designed for Verizon to limit features that prevent VZW from making $$. There's more to it.

BUT.. no worries. There are hacks! The least you can do is:
1) Update Motorola USB modem driver for K1m.
2) Install Motorola Software Update (MSU)
3) Run P2Kcommander 3.3.5.
4) Copy your own ringtones to /a/motorola/shared/ringtone
5) Delete /a/MyToneDB.db and restart your phone.
6) You get your own ringtones!

[...]

More you can do is to flash it with an Alltel Monster flash file. It'll be working like an unlocked one. File transfer and menus will be unblocked. Please reference [...].

I first was frustrated about Verizon's $$ making means. But after I discovered the hacks from Howard Forums, I'm very satisfied with my new K1m.

Better than the LG VX8600.......2007-02-08

I have owned a number of phones over the course of the last couple of years. Recently (within the last 3 months) I have tried the Samsung, Chocolate and LG VX8600.

Phone
Call quality is much better than what I experienced with the LG. The LG sounded muffled to people on the other end when I was talking with them. Those same people now say that this phone is great. Much crisper. Reception is also better than the LG, which does surprise me.

Camera
Hey it is a camera phone! It does what it is designed to do.

Music
The phone uses a mini-SD card. Works great. No bogging down of the processor as I experienced with the Samsung.

Texting
I like the iTap better than LG's version. There seem to be more words loaded into the dictionary.

Bluetooth
I am currently using a plantronics 655 Bluetooth headset. Call quality is excellent and much better than the 8600.

So far it is a keeper!

2/28/2007 - Update

Well I have now had the phone for a couple of weeks and I have to say that I am pretty happy with it. Like I said above, the sound quality is great. I probably have only one minor gripe - when texting the keypad light doesn't always come on. In the dark, this can be problematic.

cute phone for a girl.......2007-01-30

I was a loyal nokia customer for 7 years but I decided to finally try the new
motorola KRZR white when i got a new plan. While im still not used to all the features yet I really love my phone. It didnt take too long to figure out all the dif things. Although i still dont know how to use the mp3 player on it yet. This phone is super adorable. If you are a girl I highly recommend it, every girl who has seen it has loved it. additionally i havent seen many people with these (unlike the chocolates or pink RZRs).

there are a few bad things i noticed. First people arent joking when they say it gets finger prints on it. It really does pick up prints like a CSI worker. the outside screen is really hard to read/see (near impossible) outside when its sunny. Also the voice activation (?) button on the side is way to easy to push. And i still dont know how to use the mp3 player.

overall though i think this phone is really good and super cute. I never have trouble hearing calls and its appearance just makes me feel warm and fuzzy (ok a little overboard), but the pictures seriously dont do it justice. greatphone and def rec it!
