Motorola Krzr K3 Features

On Feb. 12, 2007, Motorola announced officially a high-end model in the Krzr series. The Krazr K3 was created to increase the users ability to download and upload data, sporting HSDPA connectivity. 3G, or third generation, high-speed data is the biggest selling point Motorola has been in need of such a model to replace the Razr.

The K3’s older brother, the Krzr K1 is a very nice model, but was similar in features to the Razr series. The K3 is a high speed version so users that download media and send media messages should love it.

The K3 sports some impressive features highlighted by its Bluetooth capability. The model is equipped with a system that allows users to print directly to a Bluetooth printer. Naturally the model can do all the standard types of Bluetooth functions. Users can wirelessly connect to speakers, headsets, and Bluetooth car systems.

The model sports 2 digital cameras and offers a new technology that allows users to make 2-way video calls. The user can put the K3 on speakerphone, and the inside camera will trasmit video of the caller to the other end of the conversation. The screen will show the person the user is talking too.

The outer camera boasts 2.0 megapixel resolution, can capture stills and clips and has an 8x digital zoom. This resolution has become the industry standard, and is pretty close to the best PDA models’ resolution, which are currently around 3 megapixels in the U.S. Some models that can be purchased in Europe and Asia interestingly offer higher than 6 megapixels of resolution.

The model offers 64 mb of internal memory, and is equipped with a microSD cardslot. It is believed at this time that the model will be able to handle a memory card with up to 4 GB of memory.

The K3 is a beautiful handset, sporting two very nice gray colors, highlighted with blue lighting. The release of this model should be a lot more exciting than the release of the original Krzr, since this model offers some really significant upgrades.

How To Connect A Krzr to Your PC

Here’s a some questions that are very commonly asked in our comments, “How do I connect my Krzr to my pc?” “How do I hook my Motorola Krazr up to my computer?” Since it’s been asked so many times, we’re going to teach you!This lesson if for the Krzr K1m!

The first thing you have to do is find a USB cable that fits that phone. The right type is called mini USB, and you can buy it at CompUSA, or any Radioshack. Take your phone in so that you make sure you get the right one. Motorola and Verizon will both tell you that you must use the cable from the Motorola Original data kit.

We’re going to use a cable that isn’t made by Motorola, but know that you’re doing this at your own risk.

Make sure that your phone and computer are both on. The first thing you’re going to do is plug the small end on the USB cable into your phone. It plugs into the exact same place as your charger. Then plug the larger end of the USB cable into your computer’s USB port. Note: It is highly important that you plug it into your computer, and not into a USB hub. The port needs to be powered, and many times the ports and USB hubs and keyboards aren’t. Straight into the computer!

Once you’ve plugged them both in, a window will pop up on your screen that looks like this:

We don’t want to use this window, so you’re going to click cancel. A little window might come up saying that there was a problem with the installation. This is ok! It’s only saying that because we haven’t completed the process yet.

You’re going to need a driver to complete the installation. Download it here. Once you’ve clicked the link, you will see a popup box that looks something like this:

You will click save, and then you will see something like this:

You want to click “Desktop” (That way it will save the driver to your desktop, that way you will know where it is later) You will then click “Save”. Your computer will then download the driver, and you will get a new window that looks like this:

You will then minimize all you windows so that you’re looking at your desktop. Remember that this is where we saved the driver. The driver should look something like this:

You should now right click your mouse on the driver icon (as you can see it’s called motokrzr driver), and select “Extract” Some versions of Windows might say “Extract All” and that option would be fine also. The point is that you need to extract the file. After you extract it, you’ll find that their is a new file on your desktop, it should look something like this:

You want to double click this icon. You’ll then see this:

You will click “next” and will then see this:

You have to read it, and then select “I Agree” and then click “Next”. You will then see this while it installs the driver:

This will come up when it’s done:

Click “Close” and you’re all done! You have connected the Krzr K1 or K1m to your pc! Some of you may be connecting to your pcs so that you can transfer songs. If you’re interested in that, you can read our lesson on transferring music to the krzr.

Update: Some people’s computers have a bug that won’t allow a connection to the Krazr. This download fixes the bug: Sync Music Fix

All you have to do is download the patch (I would save it to your desktop so that you know where it is) and double click on it. A little window will come up that looks like this:

That will fix the problem for you! Yes, it’s that easy.
