The type of person who would buy the MOTOKRZR K1m probably couldn’t care less about this
clamshell’s ability to stream videos, play 3D games, and download full-length songs using Verizon’s V Cast service. And that’s a good thing for Motorola, since this variation on the RAZR isn’t exactly blazing in the multimedia department. Judged merely as a style statement that gets very good reception, the $199 price tag is nearly justified.
The KRZR’s design certainly makes a good first impression. At 1.7 inches wide, this handset is about 0.25 inches slimmer than the RAZR. Otherwise, the KRZR, at 4.1 x 0.7 inches, is actually larger than the RAZR, but its slimmer profile makes the phone more comfortable to carry in a jeans pocket. The face of the KRZR is covered with a shiny, mirror-like gray glass exterior that, while pretty, really shows off smudges. Inside is a linear keypad that’s a bit less confusing than the RAZR’s wavy-lined array. :: LAPTOP Magazine • Motorola MOTOKRZR K1m ::
