Motorola KRZR Preview./....

Motorola KRZR K1 mobile phone
Motorola recently announced its new Motorola KRZR mobile phone, and PhoneDaily have managed to get a sneak preview. The phone itself is pretty unremarkable - actually, it's very unremarkable - but you can't deny it looks good. OK, it looks like a RAZR, but it's still good looking.

More pics and details of the Motorola KRZR preview after the jump........

Motorola KRZR K1 and K1C cameras

Interestingly, PhoneDaily point out the differences between the KRZR K1 (GSM/EDGE edition) and the KRZR K1c (CDMA EV-DO edition).

The K1, for example, sports a 2 megapixel camera, whilst the K1c only a 1.3 megapixeller. The KRZR K1 has a 260k colour TFT screen, whilst the K1c has only a 65k colour screen. Neither are exactly pushing the limits of technology!

Intriguingly, despite its lower spec, the KRZR K1c is a full 1mm (yes, a whole millimeter!) thicker than its brother (17mm for the K1c - 16mm for the K1).

Finally, the KRZR's user interface (both phones share the same interface) is apparently quite good and intuitive. You can manage your pics easily, play your Java J2ME games (they both come with Block Breaker Deluxe) and sync your contacts list with your PC via the built-in USB port (though oddly, the K1 has its USB port on the right, whilst the K1c has it on the left!).

Conclusion: the Motorola KRZR K1 and K1c are good looking mobile phones, but their features are already dated. Go for the K1 if you can (though obviously this will depend on whether your network supports GSM/EDGE or CDMA/EV-DO) - or better still, go for something else entirely!
