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

Sprint Adding Motorola KRZR, RAZR and SLVR to its Lineup

If you're a Sprint customer (or don't mind becoming one) and you've taken a liking to Motorola's latest phones including the KRZR, RAZR and SLVR, Sprint announced it's going to be adding those three cell phones to its lineup come November. Along for the ride will be EV-DO, opening up the doors to NFL Mobile, Sprint TVSM and Sprint Movies.

Finally, Sprint adds these three phones to its lineup. Let's just hope it gets its EV-DO chops together better than Verizon's, whose "wireless broadband" performance is spotty at best. – Charlie White

Motorola KRZR K1m Imminent

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
