If you loved the Motorola RAZR, lets face it who didn't, the
new RAZR could be your next phone. Slimmer, lighter and if its possible, even
more elegant the KRZR builds on the success of the RAZR.
Motorola has stuck to a familiar look and feel with this
phone, "precision detailing" and a distinctive metallic gloss finish, the KRZR
"exudes pure luxury" says its maker.
Thicker and longer than the RAZR, Motorola has sculptured
this phone for smaller hands. The KRZR is still only 16mm thick and 103mm long
but Motorola has taken a nearly 10mm off the width of the RAZR. At only 102
grams the KRZR is only two grams heavier than the RAZR.
All wrapped up in a grey or blue case made from magnesium,
polished chrome and hardened glass the KRZR is available with either a 2
megapixel (K1) or 1.3 megapixel (K1m) camera. While the K1m sacrifices a little
in camera megapixel's it adds GPS capabilities for location services.
The K1's 2MP camera has an 8x zoom and is capable of video
capture. Playback and image editing take place within the phone. Video is
MPEG-4 at 15 frames per second and you can record up to 25 minutes of on
embedded memory.
Additional storage is by way of MicroSD card slot, of course.
Playback for music is supported with stereo Bluetooth
headset support and Midi, MP3, AAC, AAC+
codecs.
Quad-band GSM is backed up with EDGE for high speed (but not
super fast) data access.
The phone has predictive text, voice functionality (including
voice commands, voice recognition, and voice memo), PIM functionality with
Picture Caller ID on the enhanced phonebook which also has new contact fields
for URL, IM, Postal Address, Birthday, and other information.
The phone is pre-loaded J2ME games, screen savers and
features what Motorola calls Screen 3 technology for zero-click access to your
favourite news, sports, and other premium content.
The MOTOKRZR is expected to be available in the second half
of 2006.
