  • Less expensive phones driving mobile Web usage

    Smartphones may be getting the credit for consumer interest in the mobile Web, but in reality the less-expensive phones such as the Motorola RAZR and KRZR as well as several Samsung models are actually the most popular with mobile Web browsers. According to Admob research, nearly 36 percent of all mobile ads served up by the firm were sent to a Motorola phone, with the RAZR and KRZR coming up as the first and second most popular models. Samsung phones came in second at 14.1 percent. Article
  • Boost boosts the Motorola KRZR

    Filed under: Handsets , Motorola , Boost Mobile , EV-DO , CDMA Boost Mobile has launched Motorola's KRZR K1m this week, and while its freshness leaves something to be desired, the glossy black flip is instantly propelled to the very top rung of Boost's non-iDEN food chain above the w385 and c290 , both of which also hail from Moto. The scrappy, youth-oriented Sprint division is using the K1m's launch to highlight Unlimited by Boost, its regional calling plan that is currently available in 13 states -- including the lovely islands of Hawaii . The Boost-ified MOTOKRZR is available now for $249.99, so get in on the circa-2006 action while the getting's good; heck, if you're really clever about it, you might even be able to use it as an excuse to move to Oahu.

  • First pictures of Motorola Z12 ZiNe with Symbian UIQ?

    If all the info about the upcoming phones the Czech site Mobile.cz is bringing us, checks out next week, call me really impressed. Just yesterday they’ve got us the goods on the first true Nokia N95 competitor - Samsung SGH-G810 phone. Today they seem to have the pictures of the long rumored upcoming Motorola Z12 multimedia smartphone, [...]
  • Can we have more Platinum and Swarovski crystals with our Motorola KRZR, please?

    Fans of gaudy , crystal-covered, precious-metal dipped handsets will love Goldstriker’s tacky, new offering. They are serving up a Motorola KRZR encrusted with 336 Swarovski crystals and dipped in a touch of Platinum. But, it takes some serious cheddar to rock-out on this level of ostentatious vulgarity. About $1,200, to be exact. If you just gotta have the bling-est handset that shows off to everyone around you that you have absolutely no clue, head on over to Goldstriker’s website and enter that credit card information. Or, you know, move to the grown-up table and grab a Vertu. Seriously, it’s worth it.

  • Goldstriker lavishes KRZR with Swarovski crystals, platinum

    Filed under: Culture , Handsets , Motorola Just on the off chance your KRZR is starting to look a bit too yesterday, Goldstriker can help rejuvenate it with a dash of crystal and a splash of platinum. Pricing is apparently set at $1,200 for this 336-gem-coated handset -- at roughly $3 a crystal, it'd be a deal at twice the price. Release date is tba but we're sure if you're willing to throw that kind of bread at a glitzy handset, Goldstriker might just put its foot down to get it to you tout de suite .

  • Virgin Mobile Canada lands Motorola KRZR

    Filed under: Handsets , Motorola , Virgin Mobile , EV-DO , CDMA At CAN $299, the Motorola KRZR that just plopped into Virgin Mobile Canada's lineup is the most expensive handset in its stable. Featuring all the bells and whistles of the same handset released this time last year by the other carriers, we're honestly a bit surprised by the pretty heavy price point. No word on that lovely $10 unlimited data plan being available on this handset -- perhaps its "tetherability" is a stumbling point? -- but trust us, we'll be keeping our eyes wide to see what develops.

  • Nokia N75, Motorola KRZR see price cuts at AT&T

    Filed under: Handsets , Motorola , Nokia , ATT If a $200 Nokia N75 doesn't get you worked into a lather, perhaps a $100 N75 will. That's what AT&T seems to be hoping anyway, having just reduced the price of its shining beacon of 3G S60 glory down to a single hundie. Also benefitting from the price cuts is the Motorola KRZR K1 , falling to the same $100. Hmm, 2.5G dumbphone or 3G smartphone? We know which one we'd choose.

  • GPLUS TF910 - Motorola KRZR K1 clone/ripoff with SE Z610-style display

    JUSTAMP got the scoop on this Motorola K1 KRZR knock-off/clone. The GPLUS TF910 looks like a Moto KRZR K1 in size and shape, but takes another rip from the Sony Ericsson Z750 in it's narrow external display. And, just to make sure that the TF910 covered all its bases, the mirrored exterior face takes cues [...]
  • Moto's Red KRZR released by Rogers Wireless

    Filed under: Handsets , Motorola , Rogers Wireless , GSM , GPRS Motorola's KRZR K1 has landed at Canada's Rogers Wireless dressed all in red. The current "it" flip handset that comes in a rainbow of colors from Moto will set Canadian customers back about $150 (after instant rebate) and appears to be available now from Roger's consumer website. If you're a Canadian GSM customer who has not yet picked up an unlocked and unbranded KRZR from somewhere else, you now have the chance to pick one up pretty cheap with a Rogers contract.

  • Motorola rolls out gold MOTOKRZR K1

    Filed under: Handsets , Motorola , GSM , GPRS , EDGE Ah yes, it seems Motorola now has the Midas touch. To convince us that the KRZR still has some life in it, they've bumped out a limited edition champagne-gold KRZR K1 -- in Hong Kong, anyway. Like the KRZR Fire or PRODUCT (RED) versions, nothing seems to have been changed here -- it's only been prettified to appeal to a different market (in this case, the we-love-gold set). Before you jump out of your seat to hit the shops, be warned that this handset is apparently exclusive to Hong Kong and ties into a deal with Sa Sa Cosmetics to the tune of a 5 percent discount and free gold nail polish. The basket is definitely empty as far as details of release date, pricing, and carriers, but we will undoubtedly get some more info in the near term.

  • Canada to get coolest looking Motorola KRZR yet

    Filed under: Handsets , Motorola , GSM , GPRS , EDGE Cooler than the KRZR Fire ? Yeah, we'd say so, if for no other reason than the fact that buyers do some good with their purchase of this one. According to Motorola's own site, the (PRODUCT) RED-branded KRZR K1 will be launching in Canada, though no details are given as to what carrier might be getting it. Seeing how this is a K1, the GSM variant, we're going to go ahead and take an educated guess that it'll find its way to either Rogers or Fido . Look for it to hit shelves "soon" -- in the meantime, we'll be pestering AT&T and T-Mobile to pick 'er up, too.

  • Motorola prepping KRZR in pink

    Filed under: Handsets , Motorola , GSM , GPRS , EDGE Not unlike the RAZR before it, Motorola's relentless exploitation of the KRZR theme continues. Latest to see production is pink (not to be confused with "Fire," naturally) -- if the UK's Carphone Warehouse is to be believed, anyway. The phone should allegedly be arriving on shelves next month on the other side of the Atlantic, and if you're really fired up about the phone and the color, you should have no problem getting one shipped stateside -- assuming no carrier launches it here -- thanks to the K1's quadband GSM radio. No word on pricing, but considering that the guts are the same as every other K1 on the market and the color pink involves no precious metal (as best we can tell), we'd expect little to no premium over the other shades.
