The popular RAZR is being substituted by the new KRZR, whose glossy materials look luxurious. On the other hand, the innovations made since the forerunner are very few. Is this wrong? Not at all, provided all you need is a new pretty toy.
Now that superslim phones are everywhere, Motorola’s offerings in this department were starting to look a bit old-fashioned, even though it was Motorola’s RAZR phone that started the whole superslim trend. Motorola strikes back with the KRZR K1 (or MOTOKRZR as the company likes to call it). The KRZR is a clamshell phone, like the RAZR, and shares a lot of the RAZR’s technology, but whereas the RAZR was a man-sized phone, being quite wide despite its thinness, the KRZR is a much narrower phone that fits better in the hand and is more ergonomic all round.
In summary, the MOTOKRZR is a cool fashion phone and being Motorola’s first new superslim phone for about a year it would be a natural choice for RAZR users looking to upgrade. The KRZR doesn’t excel in the photographic or music departments, but it’s certainly an all-round performer that is more unisex in form and more ergonomic to use than the RAZR. However, the problems with the glass breaking and the software errors that users have experienced mean that we have to recommend that you avoid this phone.
