 Excellent Phone! Jan 30, 2007
By General Tso
"Console games aficionado"
I bought this phone because the design and the sound quality. Before purchasing this phone, I used to have Motorola L7 SLVR which I was very dissapointed with the sound quality. SLVR looked good but KRZR is much better. And obviously KRZR is superior than RAZR.
Pros:
- Excellent Voice quality for incoming and outgoing calls.
- Excellent battery life.
- Excellent mp3 stereo sound.
- Excellent pictures.
- Excellent design. It's an eye candy.
- Easily obtained from amazon.com or walmart retail store for only $99 with new or upgrade service plan.
- You can check email from Yahoo or Hotmail for free.
- Works with any bluetooth headset.
Cons:
- Only for people who have smaller fingers.
- Finger magnet. It's almost impossible not to have your fingerprints on the phone.

Awesome phone Mar 25, 2007
By Meghan E. Greaves
This phone is incredible, and I'm so happy I bought it through Amazon...very good deal and smooth transaction! I definitely recommend getting this phone. Here's my run-down of it:
Pros:
Excellent voice quality
Excellent sound quality
Great reception...even in places that were "dead zones" with my other phones.
Very compact and oh so sexy sleek
Decent battery life (MUCH better than RAZR)
Easy to follow menu
Cons:
Front side is a fingerprint magnet from hell
Small screen
No warranty available with Cingular
Only a few backgrounds & ringtones to choose from without downloading your own
I also bought the data cable package through Amazon, and it worked beautifully from the first try.

 Not what I expected... Mar 31, 2007
By T. Falk
"NewMotoUser"
After reading the numerous positive reviews for this phone, I purchased. Here are the main issues I have found with this phone: 1) The buttons are too small, particularly the main control button. You have to used the side of your fingers to ensure that you do not hit too buttons at the same time. And, believe me, I do not have very large hands. 2) If you have quite a few contacts in your phone, you will be irritated by the delay when you scroll down quickly to select a contact. You will notice that if you are not careful, you will dial the wrong contact due to the delay when scrolling and selecting quickly, so if this is you, be aware. 3) You must open the cover and look inside to see if you have missed a call or have a message. VERY INCONVENIENT!! There is no indication to show this on the top screen, only the inside screen. 4) On occasion, the display on the outside of the phone stops working entirely. What you just need to do is power the phone down and they back up again. Not optimal, and I probably just got a bad phone, but I am just waiting for the situation to get more frequent, so I can then deal with the likely nightmare of having to get a replacement phone from Motorola. NOTE: I have no personal vendetta against Motorola, but wanted to provide some real feedback rather than all just rosey stuff I bought into before purchasing.

Superb Phone!!!!! Jun 09, 2007
By R. Kodama
I've only had the phone for a week but I am extremely pleased with the performance and funcitonality so far. I was hesitant to get the KRZR K1 because of the some of the negative reviews but my experience has been nothing short of excellent. I purchased this phone because it is smaller than the wider frame of the RZRs but it is still well built and contains all the same capabilities. I paired this phone with the Plantronics Voyager 510 Bluetooth Headset with Multipoint Technology [Retail Packaged]and the combination has worked very well. The voice recognition through the bluetooth headset is outstanding even when I am driving in a car. I also purchased the Sandisk Micro SD 2 GBto store MP3 songs in the phone so that I have alternative to my iPod. If you want to listen to music with decent audio quality then you will need to purchase a bluetooth stereo headphones or an adapter for a standard headphone jack. I've played with all of the functions including the video and still camera, calendar, alarm, calculator and they all work pretty much the same as other phones.
The downsides to the phone are:
-Button access - as many people mention, if you have large fingers then pressing buttons especially around the direction keys can be a challenge.
-Many accessories such as car adapter, mini-USB, headphone adapter need to be purchased seperately. While this is standard for many phones, it does increase your investment.
-No customization to create quick access to your most common functions. This was a useful feature on my old Nokia 6800.
-Fingerprint magnet
-No decent case available as of this review
Finally, I was an existing Cingular customer and upgraded the phone (keeping the same number) through Amazon. The transition went flawlessly. FYI, you can take your old and new phone to a Cingular store and they can tansfer your address book over via the SIM card.

Great Cell Phone Aug 14, 2007
By TexasSpike
I have always purchased Motorola products because of the quality of their handsets. The KRZR is no exception. The phone has a great "feel" of quality in the case, flip hinge, keys and buttons.
The reception and speakerphone are excellent. The phonebook entries permit multilple numbers and "types" (mobile,home,work...etc) for each entry. Then you can use the voicedial feature to say "call jim mobile" or "call jim home" to auto dial the number. Additionally, this phone can dial a number by speaking "call 123 4567".
User created ring tones are a snap. There are 2 features (create tone) and (voice record) that allow you to save audio. With create tones, you enter a sequence with your keypad, save this as a ringtone, and apply it as a distinctive ring for all or any number of people. The voice record is similar. I have recorded "Jim Calling" and saved as a distinctive ring for Jim. In the car, I dont have to look at the phone to see who is ringing me. I suppose you could use the voice record feature to record music also, but I have not done this.
My personal cell phone requirements exclude the more advanced features. So, I cannot comment on the music player or web browser capabilities of this phone.
