Motorola W380
July 5, 2007
The Motorola W380 was presented to the public earlier this week. Does anyone else get the feeling that this is a picture of the Krzr K1m? I have the white Moto Krazr, and it looks absolutely identical to this model. Although the feature set is diluted, the model looks amazing which means it will sell well.
The W380 has a VGA camera and offers an FM radio for easy listening. As stated earlier, this model doesn’t have an advanced feature set and will probably cost about $20 with a contract when it’s released.
Motorola has done well to change their entry level models to striking, sleek forms. They already own the midrange and would do well to break the entry level market.
When the Moto W380 is released, we will let you know. Watch for features and specs in the near future.
Motorola Krzr K1m User Reviews
July 5, 2007
Here’s what users have been saying about the Krzr K1m. If you have read our compilation pages before you know that we take reviews from a bunch of different users, and combine them into one page. We do this so you don’t have to read a million pages of reviews.
The Good
Design. Users love the design. We were a little surprised at how many users compared the Krzr to the Razr. A lot of people must have made the switch. The design was a huge positive for most people; users say that the design and feel seems to be a lot more expensive. One user said that it feels 100x more durable than the Razr.
Call Quality - Users said that the call quality of the K1m is excellent. A few complained but 99% of the reviews we found stated that the users were quite happy with the reception of the model.
mP3 Player - Tons of users commented about the mP3 player, and the ability to transfer songs from your pc to your phone. Verizon had crippled this feature in many of the models, and with the K1m it’s possible to do it.
External Pic View - Many users really liked that you can place a pic on the external screen of the model.
Battery Life - Users say that the battery life of the K1m is really good. Verizon says that the talk time of the model is about four hours, and based on what the users are saying, this is probably pretty accurate.
The Problems Users Claim To Have With The Krzr K1m
User Interface - Quite a few users complained that the K1m has the same user interface as the Razr series phones. They complain that the phone is slower than some other models.
Customization Options - There aren’t many things you can customize with the model. A few users complained about not being able to use their own videos for screen savers and their own pictures for wallpapers.
Camera Quality - Users said that the model takes the same quality of pictures as models with .3 mega-pixel cameras. Of course, a lot of this is going to be because of the lens size, which has to be considerably smaller in a mobile device.
Overall, most users really liked the K1m. They complained about a few things, but there obviously aren’t really any better options at this time.
