"best motorola phone yet"
Pros: everything works, great call quality & many extra features
Cons: 20 second backlight, keys are a little slow, tinny speakerphone
Summary: i had the razr for over a year and the w490 for a short while and this is the best of both worlds between the 2 other phones. i love the style, thinness and look of the razr, the big screen and the speed when i press keys, but the razr was very problematic in general. the w490 was great except it did not support t-zones email and it was too thick to fit in a pocket. ...but the w490 has great extras that the razr doesn't have like world clock, airplane mode, better audio, great wallpaper and many other features.
the KRZR has ALL of the above features. it is only 1/8" thicker than the razr and although 1/8th of an inch too much, it is still slim. it has great sound quality, world clock, airplane mode, a two megapixel camera, great volume when speaking or listening, smaller width so it fits in the hand better, really great colorful screen, it supports t-zones email and many other great features. it has all of the good features of the razr and w490 combined. it is the best phone i've had yet. what i don't like about it is the speaker phone sounds a bit tinny and the key action is slow..it takes a second from when you press a key until the chosen display shows. it's only a second but with other phones it's instantaneous. i also don't like the notorious 20 second backlight, but in lieu of all it's plusses and the fact that no phone is perfect, this is the best one i've ever had. another thing i don't like is that the soft key functions are unchangable. on other models you can change what they control, but on here they are what they are and cannot be changed. also, like the w490, the phonebook is inconvenient to access when on a call. despite the imperfections, all in all it is the best, problem free phone i've had so far from motorola. everything works as it should when in use. it's a quality phone. one other flaw is that the cover protecting the port interferes with the entrance to the port. when opened, it is too close to the port so that when you insert a usb cable, you have to juggle to get it in. but again, the plusses outweigh the minuses, because technologically everything works. this is a GREAT phone. i have way less complaints with this phone than any other motorola i've owned. it has great call quality and lots of extra features.
