Motorola KRAZR Announced

The reason why I’m so hyped up about the KRAZR isn’t really about the form factor or enhanced camera. I’m more interested in the enhanced phonebook feature that allows you to plug in more information. Though it is too early to say, I am also assuming that the KRAZR will have a very good Bluetooth integration with the Mac OS X address book via iSync. For more pictures of the KRAZR and its counterpart in CDMA networks, the Krazr K1m, click here.
I’m noticing a trend nowadays – after a gadget has reached the plane of consumer fame (i.e. iPod), the next step would be to brand it with something expensive (D&G RAZR and the U2 iPod). The next thing to do would to make it smaller (KRAZR and iPod mini).
Will we be seeing a smaller and slimmer Treo model one day?
* GSM 850/900/1800/1900 plus EDGE

If you love Motorola’s design but prefer a PDA over a phone, you may want to check out the Motorola Ming A1200 which I have had for a few weeks. You can read the review here.

I got my KRZR from verizon. Its F ing Awesome. No Flash for the camera though. perfect size
Has anyone with a KRAZR had problems with the front panel cracking? I had another problem with my phone and they would not honor the warranty because the panel was cracked. The person that wrote in about replacing that panel did anyone have an answer?
This phone is pretty awful. The first thing i noticed is all the smudge marks your fingers leave behind on the shiny glass front plate. Also, I have to charge the battery every day (my crappy old samsung only needed a recharge every 5 days or so). The worst thing is some software problem, where lately every time i scroll through my text messages it freezes up for a good minute and goes to the main screen and tells me I have no service, though I can see the verizon tower from my apartment. Now its doing that freezing thing every few minutes, making doing anything on the phone impossible. I’m going to ask for a new phone tomorrow. blah!
Well- her we go- I’ve had it just around a year now and I’m replacing th battery for a SECOND time. What’s the deal with this phone? I’ve never had battery isues like this. The battery works for about a full day when u first get it, then after a month or two, it starts runing out a lot faster, but lasts the day. Then , after a few months, your lucky to get a few hours out of it. THIS SUCKS!
If you want one go to Ebay.
If you have a MAC quit whining and throw away the MAC allready no one is compatible with that overpriced crap.
I just bought one and charged the battery correctly by letting it die all the way and then charging it as I have with all of my past phones and the battery is working awesomely. Now if it lasts the 8 years of my last phone I will be getting my money’s worth.
I always follow the manufacturer instructions for first time battery use, as well as draining the battery now and then so it can get a FULL charge. This battery still sucks-
As for the MAC thing – It wasn’t me that said anything about macs…but if you’re telling someone to stop whining and get rid of their mac…you have no idea what you’re talking about. Not going to get into a flame war here…just saying….
i LOVE the krazr
k im wondering is 90 $ a bad price for a krzr and is the battery that bad all im going to use it for is calling and texing… it will probly be off for more then half the day!!???? please answer
