Advantages: Looks good, excellent MP3 player and battery life Disadvantages: Front of the phone smudges, quite heavy
...I used to own a Motorola PEBL before purchasing this phone and I have noticed that Motorola have left much of the menus the same. For me this is a plus but some current users of Motorola phones may wish to have seen an upgrade in the menu systems. Sound quality is very good on the MP3 player with headphones but don’t count on getting a good sound without. ...

Advantages: Sleek and stylish, good features, good value Disadvantages: Slow texting facilities, shows marks easily
...KRZR K1 is my first Motorola and I have to say, probably my last just because the text messaging facilities aren't as good as I expected! I bought it because I was after a pretty phone but this review will entail how it does and doesn't live up to my expectations!
The Looks:
This phone is very slim and sleek and is a good size for fitting in your pocket, but not so easy to find in a handbag that's filled with junk! Mine's a metallic blue colour, ... ...The keypad is a typical Motorola keypad which feels quite strange to use at first because the buttons aren't raised, but you get used to it! The numbers, letters and symbols on the keys are light blue when lit up and very easy to see in the dark. The screen is a good size and you won't be squinting to see it!
Overall it's simple but nicely designed and has that 'Sleek and Sexy' appeal to it.
The Features:
These are pretty standard, obviously you ...

...reverts back to the old motorola menu which I have felt has always let itself down. The menus are complicated and really not user friendly at all unless you have owned a motorola before. The predictive text of other manufacturers is much easier to use and I think the 'select' and 'back' buttons are on the wrong side as I seem to always kick myself out of what ever I was doing instead of sending or saving. To try and find profiles, which by the way ... ...I am very pleased that motorola have vastly improved the internal antenna and the reception on the new KRZAR is much better. They also seem to resolved the constantly switching itself off thing which really bugged me about the V3i. Despite software issues, like switching itself off and poor signal quality that hampered previous motorola models, this phone seems to be manufactured and built with alot more quality and attention to detail. My absolute ...

Advantages: Beautifully built, decent features Disadvantages: Display and camera features disappointing by today's standards
...product - top of the Motorola range when it was launched, and still impressive as it moves down the market.
Construction is solid, which is important in a flip-phone. Budget flips can be alarmingly weak at the hinge, but the K1 exudes strength. The glossy front with its useful small display resists scratching, the metallic back is robust but has a pleasing silky feel, and the hinge is reassuringly firm. At the base is a wraparound-style speaker ... ...say that in my opinion Motorola is far and away the worst user interface designer of the major manufacturers, and the K1 has the usual attractive but frustrating interface.
But the styling and overall quality count for a lot: this is still one of the smoothest phones to pull from your purse or pocket. You could pay a lot more and get a lot less. ...

...again, i've never had a motorola phone before, and I'd guess, that like most other mobile brands, the menu stuff is pretty standard on all their phones.
I'm giving this handset a full 5 stars, as a communication tool it works very well, and added to that the extra's such as MP3 player, camera etc. make this a useful multimedia tool. ...

...Moto that is the new Motorola advertisement and in the real and actual sense, this is a popular advertisement that really gave this Motorola razor its name and it became a national anthem of the phone.
This is a very small, thin and a fantastic phone that has a lot of functions and also a flip phone.
In my household, Nokia has been my phone brand but I decided to give this Motorola phone product a nice try and the Hello motor anthem drew my interest ... ...functions but with the old Motorola menu.
Motorola has been known for not been good in the making of good and reliable phones because all along, Motorola's phones has been encountering a lot of problems including battery problem and self shutting down. But this time, Motorola has done some thing about it and has made a popular nice product.
The motor razor has a lot of improved features like the improvement of the internal antenna and reception. ...

Advantages: durable, decent battery life, modern appearance Disadvantages: short video recording time, poor quality camera, calendar memory wiping
I've had the K1 since October 2006 and it has lasted me very well - the phone is still in perfect working order and I have had no major problems with it. The design is very sleek, and available in a variety of colours to suit individual tastes. The keypad lights up when you touch any key which is an attractive feature and useful when using the phone in the dark. The K1 comes with a camera which is useful although the quality is poor, still better ... ...so when you close the phone you can use it to take a self portrait without all the guess work of where you are in the viewfinder. The menu is simple and easy to navigate. The battery lasts a long time when the phone is on standby but diminishes rather quickly when chatting to someone. The phone is certainly durable - it's been dropped on concrete many a time and this hasnt affected its performance in the slightest, although it has left it with a ...

his is a slim phone with light matt casing on the back and reflective panel on the front with a small external screen for caller ID and time etc. The phone comes in three different colours:- silver (the colour of my phone), black and blue. It is also a flip phone so folds up small, the dimensions are:- hi..this mobile contains...........Length:- 103mm Width:- 42mm Height:- 16mm Value for Money I’ve had this phone on a contract since March but have ... ...to date. It looks good and has a large number of features, as it’s a relatively new model it can still cost around £100-£140. After a quick look you can get the black version on phones4u website for just under £100 pay as you go which I think is good value for money. What I like about this phone Excellent reception. The phone is very long when in its opened position, which makes it easier call & talk into the mouthpiece. Battery life is fantastic ...

Advantages: stylish, slim and trendy Disadvantages: Less messages storage space, Lack of various features
I bought this phone a few months ago, completely SIM-free (as with all my mobile phones) and I have to say that I'm very impressed. I'm a Sony Ericsson fan and other Moto phones I've also owned are the V3 and V3i RAZR phones. They were both excellent, but this phone easily beats them. The first thing you think when you look at it is 'wow'! This definitely has to be the most stylish phone I've ever used. A lot of time and effort has gone into the ... ...expect from Motorola. The screen is excellent as well, though not quite the quality of my SE K800i. However, it is very bright and clear and I've no complaints. I've seen a lot of people, usually previous RAZR-owners, complaining about the size of the screen on this phone - well, it is slimmer than the RAZR's, and it would be impossible to make the screen the same size! You can't have everything! But the resolution is still the same, so it is smaller ...

Advantages: Memory card slot Disadvantages: Battery cannot be depended on!
...2007, I first got my Motorola K1, initially disappointed that I had the silver one over the smart cosmic blue colour I felt slightly deflated. Never the less I decided to give the phone a go and happily plugged in the charger for its first charge which took around 3 hours, which considering it was a brand new phone wasn't too long.
Starting the phone up for the first time it does seem to be a little slow and unresponsive, but give it a chance it ... ...confuse if you've had a Motorola before. Even if you haven't they are pretty self explanatory within the manual which for being a foreign company is very well written. I did have a problem with the keypad as after 4 or 5 months the paint began chipping leaving a disgusting colour metal especially in the call start and end buttons, which is particularly unsightly. Not only that but the paint on the side buttons, the Motorola 'M' on the battery cover ...

Advantages: Looks good, very durable Disadvantages: Battery life, reception
Very durable phone. Having been dropped a number of times - no notable marks remain unlike all of my previous phones. Screen gets dirty quite easily and requires regular cleaning. The built in camera take excellent photos as does the video camera. Large enough memory to hold a good number of pictures and videos. Battery life started to shorten significantly after 6 months and needed to be charged every other day - even with normal use. Very nice ... ...for texting. Handy shortcut keys. Durable cover for charger port after thinking to myself "that won't last long"! Reception can sometimes be an issue - losing connection for no reason - this is not a provider issue as other phones don't have the same problems at the same places. Overall a very good phone - I am still happy I chose it! ...

IF YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING I AM SURE IT IS GREAT, IF YOU ARE NOT GLUED TO YOUR MOBILE AND TRY TO USE SOME OF THE FEATURES IT IS NOT THAT USER-FRIENDLY.
I am mixed about this mobile. I am a girl, well 27, and I use it for both business and pleasure. The downsides: I find sending texts on this mobileTERRIBLE.

The software to install on your PC takes up a lot of space and there is no way to get your pictures from the phone to the PC - and from looking online there are a number of people with this issue as you will find this topic on a lot of forums. The picture quality is good though, but anything to do with sending is not that straightforward. The voice activation is pretty good ...

Motorola has chosen to stick with the current RAZR phones 176x220 resolution. The display is bright and clear, as with all motorola mobiles. The K1 boasts a 2 megapixel camera that takes photo's of the quality you would expect. The K1 also has Bluetooth 2.0 support with A2DP stereo profile support.
