Motorola KRZR Review

Just as a note....

Here are some of the issues we've seen with the K1M KRZRs

*Front beauty trim around the glass falls off
*Front Glass Cracks easly
*Standard Motorola S/W Issues
*Ringtone assignments resetting

Its great until after a year (convienently right when the warranty is up) and it only holds a charge for three calls and an alarm setting. I never had problems with the size, but i have small hands, my bluetooth never found anyone elses phone if it wasnt a motorola. The ringers werent loud enough and the little circle in the middle of the directional pad was loose after a few months. I will never buy another motorola again. i think the phones could be great but they skimp out with the battery, as i know a few other people with different models but the same battery problems. I would NOT recommend buying this phone if you are purchasing it on more than a one year contract.

I had the KRZR for 2 years. Couldn't wait to get rid of it. It worked well for about 3 months. In the 2 years I had to get 4 batteries. The phone was then replaced after 1 1/2 years with another KRZR. Not only did it eat batteries, it lost my phone book labels like "Friends" and I also had to put the area code in front of all numbers even when it was my own area code after a software upgrade. Also towards the end of my run with the Krzr, it would hardly recognize my Motorola bluetooth headset. When I got my env2, it worked perfectly with it. The second KRZR did the same things. I wouldn't wish this phone on anybody. My daughter had a lot better luck with the RAZR V3.
When I went to get my upgrade in phones, I went with the LG env2 and it has been great. They told me at Verizon that the KRZR was a piece of junk and they have had many problems. The battery life in my env2 is a lot longer than the RAZR. The env2 is 100 times the phone a KRZR is.

I've had my Krzr for almost a yr and a half now. It's fantastic. The only thing that's happend is the trim on the front kept falling off until i bought a new trim, ol.. The back also comes off easily which can be good AND bad.

I will give you it is a stylish phone, but that is it. The technology in the phone is not good. I never had the front or back fall off. If I did, though, it would be more reason to get something else. Add that to what I already said about the KRZR and it adds up to a bad phone. The technician at the Verizon store told me that the KRZR was junk and he wanted to upgrade me early, but couldn't. I have learned my lesson about Motorola KRZRs. My previous phones were Kyocera and they were much better phones. Never had a problem.

Dont diss them just cuz U don't like it.

I am not. Verizon had many returned and has since discontinued the phone. It has been replaced by the W755. They say the problems with the KRZR were fixed and thus they came out with the W755. It looks a lot like the KRZR but the software in the phone is supposed to be better. The RAZR had problems, too, but it was a far better phone. My daughter had the RAZR and never had a problem with it. All you have to do is look at the other comments on here about this phone. They all add up to a phone that is not very good.

we arent dissing motorola, its a known fact that although they make nice looking phones and when they work they are great, the battery quality is one of the poorest on the market. when i went into telus to complain that my battery was crap the airhead rep giggled and said oh i thought motorola fixed their battery problem. so not only are the phone crap by experience, the sales reps know they are crap. its not dissing when its an opinion based on fact

good review...

also, this krzr is too small and thin and cannot work properly

As of now, I'm using a KRZR M or something like that. It was my mother, but I bought her a Sony Ericsson Z550a, the only thing I like about the KRZR is the voice dialing, I found it to be really useful specially when you're driving. I had a RAZR also, and the voice dialing is almost the same. The KRZR has give me a pretty good service, but actually I like to mess around with the cellphones, even if it means to screwed it up. About the sound, I find that mine is kind of loud, and I'm using MP3 ringtones. One thing that I really hate is the front display, the only time that I can view who is calling me by looking at the front display is when I'm at home, in the daylight is very hard to see. I am not a Motorola fan, but comparing to some other Motorola phones, I say is OK.

I like to use Motorola phones as they are stylish in look and offer great features which make them every bit worth the price. Thanks for the review of the new Motorola KRZR.

Motorola dictates the design direction in mobile phones for years, and their most apparent examples are the RAZR-phones, that became the most popular device and the ones the other manufacturers regulate their models with. After a few models from the RAZR and SLVR families achieved their missions as best-sellers, Motorola decided to use another style that was sure to become a hit – shiny reflective surface. We first saw it in pre-production units of the PEBL U6 (called V6 at that time) but it didn't hit the stores due to the easy-to-catch fingerprints thing, and was available in ordinary black, and various “sweet” colors later. After a while, the same glass-finish appeared on the H5 Miniblue Headset, which is still not commercially available.

nice phone
