Verizon Gets Romantic With Strawberry Chocolate and Fire KRZR

Jason Chen — Thu, 01 Feb 2007 18:30:49 EST

Expected to be released on February 4, these rose-colored phones from Verizon should make for a nice present for the girl who's just had her cellphone contract expire. The Pink Strawberry Chocolate and the Fire-Red KRZR are expected to be $99 with a two-year engagement. Oh yeah, she'll love these much more than actual chocolates.

You can scope out the phones on Verizon's Testman site. – Jason Chen

Cingular/AT&T Gets the Moto KRZR

Jason Chen — Fri, 19 Jan 2007 18:00:19 EST

Despite getting the dibs on the iPhone, Cingular/AT&T's only just now getting the Motorola KRZR that Verizon and even Alltel have been fondling for a while. And even worse, it's not red, or white, or even diamond encrusted. For shame AT&T. For shame.

If you're interested, the ATTKRZR has the same stats as the other versions—2-megapixel camera, Bluetooth, microSD slot—but comes at $200 after 2-year lock-in. – Jason Chen

Motorola KRZR Available in Fire-Crotch Red

Travis Hudson — Thu, 14 Dec 2006 12:54:40 EST

Motorola will be keeping with their, and everyone elses usual trends of making cellphones available in a rainbow of colors starting with the "Fire" (aka red) Motorola KRZR. This is currently only available in Korea, and no word if this red KRZR has anything to do with the (RED) campaign. It will likely be hitting the states soon. – Travis Hudson

Diamond-Encrusted KRZR For The Rich and Heartless

Gizloco — Mon, 13 Nov 2006 08:47:42 EST

As if owning a Motorola KRZR doesn't already make you a tool, why not outfit it with enough diamonds to make the regent of Siam jealous? That's exactly what Peter Aloisson did when he created the KRZR White, KRZR Leopard and KRZR Roma, the last one being a nod to his love for all things Francesco Totti-related. The price for these little wonders varies on the number and purity of diamonds used; Aloisson's other such luxury cellphones went for $1.3 million. Time to crack open the piggy bank or be content with your buy-one-get-one-free Verizon cellphone. Jump over the cliff for a few more pics.

Yes, nothing says classy quite like outfitting a cellphone with diamonds. – Nicholas Deleon

White Chocolate, KRZR Now Official: Whiter But Not Better

Gizloco — Mon, 30 Oct 2006 15:11:08 EST

Those traditionalists over at Verizon Wireless have seen fit to introduce a white version of the LG Chocolate(and Motorola KRZR K1m, but nobody cares about that). We've mentioned this earlier, but now the news comes directly from the Verizon gatekeepers. With a two-year contract, the white Chocolate will set you back $130 and the white K1m comes in at $200. Besides being a few shades lighter, the white Chocolate comes with firmware that enables speakerphone. When the LG Chocolate first shipped a few months ago, its speakerphone was woefully disabled by lame firmware.

According to ads plastered all over New York, the white Chocolate is available in stores now. Now if only the cellphone wasn't a piece of garbage... – Nicholas Deleon

Moto KRZR K1 Review: Vapid, For Material Girls

Louis Ramirez — Fri, 20 Oct 2006 21:33:40 EDT

We've already given you a fair share of some KRZR K1 porn, but the folks at Mobile Burn have put Moto's seductive temptress through the ringer. The catwalk-worthy phone got praised for her glossy curves and excellent sound qualilty. Also noteworthy is the phone's battery life, which MB quotes as lasting 8 days on standby and 3 days with heavy use. The quadband phone also supports A2DP Bluetooth and can be set up to receive POP3 e-mail.

Ultimately, the KRZR K1 fell victim to a boring personality, relying on the same drab interface as her slutty sister that everyone's had their hands on for years. It's always the attractive ones.

An informant in the mobile phone industry tells us that the KRZR's fine shell, and vapid feature set make it a phone only bought up by superficial ladies. We believe it. – Louis Ramirez

Moto KRZR Unboxing and Grope

Brian Lam — Thu, 12 Oct 2006 12:00:03 EDT

I got my hands on the Motorola KRZR. What can I say? You already know its the narrow, long followup to the now-classic Moto RAZR. The 1.9-inch screen is 176 by 220, and fair enough. The phone seems surprisingly hefty, in a good way. Yes, it's so freaking shiny that it deeks out my DSLR's autofocus. Really good looking.

It's the same old Moto interface, so I can't get that excited about owning one, but I really see the KRZR as more of a phone for pure design fetishists. Go ahead, see for yourself.–Brian Lam

Alltel Wireless Getting MOTOKRZR K1M

Jason Chen — Mon, 02 Oct 2006 18:15:50 EDT

We've come to the conclusion that Alltel customers are a lot like Mac fans—fiercely protective of their low-marketshare-having company. This conclusion was reached from all the comments we get from Alltel customers whenever we post about T-Mobile's myFaves plan saying they had this for a long time, and with 10 numbers. Well tooty toot for you!

Now you guys get The MOTOKRZR, Motorola's followup to the RAZR, which will be available in your Alltel stores starting October 5. Now you can't say we never do anything for you guys. – Jason Chen

We've been talking about this damn Motorola KRZR for quite some time, but finally it is actually being released, fo' reals. Today, Verizon is sellthing this miniature phone. Sucks for those who just got a Chocolate.

Motorola KRZR K1m Imminent

Charlie White — Fri, 22 Sep 2006 12:52:44 EDT

Could the Motorola KRZR K1m, that scaled-down version of the iconic RAZR, be on the verge of release from Verizon? Well, it's showing up on Verizon's testman site, a sign that it may hit the streets sooner than everyone thought, perhaps by mid-October. In fact, sources say it started shipping out of Asia last week.

If you're not familiar with the KRZR, take a look at the picture above, comparing the KRZR to the RAZR. The KRZR is narrower and almost as thin. It also has similar specs, with a 1.9-inch inside display at 176x220 pixels, and an outer display at 96x80. It's a dual-band CDMA phone with EV-DO and a 2-megapixel camera, as well as Bluetooth and a microSD memory card slot. Expect it to sell for $199 with a two-year contract. – Charlie White
