I really, really like this phone and I've had lots of cell phones - from PDA's to the most basic. This one has just the right mix of features, it fits perfectly in my pocket - and because its a flip phone, it doesn't call Hong Kong or my speed dial numbers! It gets great reception, sound is clear, love the features, it is easy to use. Finally, the right phone for me.
The Motorola MOTOKRZR K1 is an excellent phone. It has a decent camera, no flash though, an mp3 player, however it is not as convenient to use as other phones. There is a program to find the name of songs for you, all you do is press the button and hold the phone up to the speaker, it then goes online to search for the song. It has a decent amount of storage as well as a micro SD slot for added memory. It is easy to use and gets great reception. Battery life on this phone is decent, much like other phones with similar features. It is smaller than the RAZR (and many other phones) but don't let size fool you. It fits easily in your pants pocket, which is why this is my second KRZR. My first KRZR worked great until I left it in my pants pocket and it got washed and dried. Since I was still under contract I looked to EBAY to find one. I, personally, have had no problems with this phone and would recommend it to anyone.
After leaving a negative feedback and removing it with square trade in a exchange for a US ac adapter for the cellphone l bought, l received the ac adapter and doesnt even work, worst than that screwed the battery life of my cell which now last for 2 days before was 4 days, and l barely use it. l will have to buy another batery and charger because both now dont work.
Within 1 month of purchase as a new phone, the case cracked and the screen failed. A total disappointment but in keeping with the poor quality I have come to expect from Motorola.
I decided to buy the KRZR because it plays music, takes video and pictures and I trust the Motorola brand.
For the most part we really like it. We put in a 2GB memory card so we can load it up with videos and music. The website for the KRZR has been invaluable in helping me trouble shoot some of the issues we've had.
The voice command wasn't working and we had some issues setting it up on my Mac to download video and music but I managed to fix most of the problems through trial and error. I still have issues with the music files showing the resource forks but I could probably fix it if I tried.
The phone we bought wound up being Japanese which was a little disappointing and the charger only worked once and broke but we decided to keep the phone anyway instead of going through the trouble of returning it.
I've read that I may be able to sync the phone with iTunes which would be totally awesome though I haven't tried yet since it's my son's phone, not mine.
All in all it's not a bad phone. Not fabulous but definitely functional.
What a nice phone. I bought it for my son and he loves it alot! The transaction was very easy and the seller answered all questions with ease. I would purchase again.
I purchased was supposed to be a new one. I'm sure if it had been new maybe our experience with this phone would have been better. The battery cover wouldn't go on and stay on. We returned it only to have another bad phone sent to us. This time the buttons on the phone wouldn't work right. So there is two thumbs down for this phone from us. We don't recomment it.
This phone that I purchased does not send text messages nor play games but this is the sellers faught he could have said that the text messages and games where in chinese. I am not saying that the phone is garbage but it will do for right now.
The phone was reconditioned and outright didnt work. the company forced me to buy a second battery, but the second battery did not fix the broken phone.
product was good as expected works well.AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
I was having a lot of troubles with my current cell phone and I wasn't "elegible" for an upgrade yet through my provider so I decided to purchase one on Ebay. I wanted a phone that was slim and I wasn't worried about having a lot of extra features like on a Blackberry. My Mom had the MotoRazr and I liked that but once I saw the Krzr I knew that's the one I wanted. The seller was super fast with the shipping and the product works perfectly. I would definitely reccommend this seller to anyone who would like quality products for a very affordable price.
FAST SERVICE AND GOOD TO DEAL WITH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Reception is good, way better than my old RAZR. I'm a H.S. Teacher and all my students really like the stylish looks of my new phone. I don't text, but a few of them liked that the phone has a small keypad area so texting is faster. The keypad has a great feel, I like the responsiveness of the buttons. My phone came from Hong Kong apparently, the games are in some flavor of Chinese. There are even Chinese characters on the keypad. That's cool stuff to me. Bluetooth works well, I sync it to my MacBook Pro using Apple's iSync software. Contacts and Calendars sync perfectly. Even the Contact photos sync too. I really like this phone.
I bought this phone because I was having bad luck with all the others and my upgrade through my cell phone company was not available yet. The tinny sound quality when listening/talking on the phone left me very dissapointed but I am happy with the camera and MP3. Would not recommend this phone.
The overall review of this product is excellent. When searching for a phone I had several features that I was looking for. This particular item met and exceeded my expectations. I am very pleased with the mp3 player, access to the web, conectivity with my pc as well as your everyday typical alarm clock, ring tones and calender. I would recommend this item to anyone that is looking for something stylish and compact.
I got this phone for my girlfriend and she absolutely loved it. Although the original phone they sent me wasn't working, they sent me a replacement right away, and it works just fine!
This item worked well for a short period of time. We needed to replace a new one which met an untimely end, and the only options were 'refurbished'. It was discontinued by AT&T (Cingular) and I suspect it was for quality reasons. There are many (many,many,many) refurbished available on eBay, which is probably another indication of overall quality control issues for Motorola on this product. Plus, it opens the door for many less then dependable eBay sellers to unload poor quality merchandise. (Like carshowguy).
I had reservations about buying an unlocked GSM phone but took the chance. After charging the phone I plugged in my Cincinnati Bell SIM card and it fired up and worked immediately. No problems with basic compatibility at all. The only problem I have had is trying to connect to the internet through the phone but I believe this to be a problem with my settings not the phone.
I installed a 2GB mini SD card and was able to put MP3 files on the card using Windows Explorer with no problem. The phone streams MP3s (A2DP stereo)to my blueant bluetooth headphones flawlessly, the phone and the headphones paired quickly and easily.
So far this has been a great phone (2 weeks) .... I recommend it
The K1 has lots of extras to make it an all-in-one. The ability to add a mini SD card allows more versatility. Good size and presentation of information but screen is a little small and cramps some info. Good camera.
After further inspection the phone wasn't new as stated in the bid, is a used non working phone, the water damage seal is missing, the battery and the charger didn,t work. This phone was shiped outside the states so is difficult for me to return it, but I am really disappointed of this, because the seller was supposed to be a good one and I paid good money for this phone and recived a piece of trash.
