Motorola KRZR K1m

Motorola KRZR
Front Open Front Closed Back

review

By Sascha Segan

The Motorola KRZR K1m is a gorgeous fashion statement, sure to be the next iconic cell phone design. In terms of features and functionality, however, it's really an old RAZR in a new case. If you aren't dazzled by the design, the KRZR is just another mid-range Verizon music phone.
