Krzr

Overall Rating:
2.5 out of 5
By: Bill Banks on Sunday, April 06, 2008
From: Boise, ID (United States)
Experience: 90 Days
Pros: Touch sensative external music player

Cons: Breaks Easily, Smudges easily, constantly having to charge the phone, and Mirror breaks EASILY!

Summary: I got this phone in december and it worked great, until the warranty was over on the phone. Mine snapped in half very easily and the verizon people said that I broke it but the screen was glitching before it broke. Everyone I know had a KRZR and at least is on their second one.

Low Volume

Overall Rating:
3.3 out of 5
By: Yolonda Hebb on Tuesday, March 06, 2007
From: Waldorf, MD (United States)
Experience: 30 Days
Pros: The music quality is great. Great look.

Cons: Low Volume, Slow Downloads.

Summary: I got my phone February 2007. I always used the bluetooth, but I lost it and had to use the phone without it. Neither I nor the person I was talking to could hear each other. I had to put the phone on speaker just to understand a word. Other than that it's a wonderful phone.

Very disappointed

Overall Rating:
3.5 out of 5
By: John M on Friday, November 03, 2006
From: Niagara Falls, NY (United States)
Experience: 14 Days
Pros: Sleek style, excellent build quality, good feature set

Cons: Harsh sounding call quality, low call volume, average reception, buggy bluetooth, sluggish web browsing.

Summary: I was very disappointed in the K1M. The earpiece audio was at best mediocre and the call volume was very low, even with the volume at maximum. Bluetooth headset volume was adequate. Had to reboot the phone at least a couple of times each day because the voice commands didn't respond over bluetooth. Signal strength was at least 1-bar less than my previous phone, an LG VX7000.

From: birmingham, west mids (United Kingdom)
Experience: 10 Days
Pros: Great phone, looks good, if you like the V3 you'll love the K1 amm the features of the V3i in a smaller sleeker case

Cons: Only one - constant cleaning of the front

Summary: If your looking for a very stylish replacement to the V3 you cant go wrong with this little beauty!! You'll fall inlove with its looks as soon as you see it.

The upgrade I needed

Overall Rating:
4.2 out of 5
By: Joseph Crossland on Friday, October 06, 2006
From: Houston, TX (United States)
Experience: 2 Weeks
Pros: The style, look, and feel of the phone is what will impress you first. It is smooth on the front and them has a rubber grip on the back. The shape and size fits perfect in your hand and feels really good to hold. Has all of the expected features and they work properly.

Cons: I expected an upgraded camera with flash. I am constantly cleaning fingerprints off of the phone!

Summary: Overall I am really satisfied with my new phone. The K1m is easy to use and came with everything I need. I would recommend this phone to those looking for a slim flip that is full of features.
