Motorola's KRZR K1 to get snazzy new colors?

by Darren Murph, posted Nov 19th 2006 at 12:15PM

Ah, there's nothing like adding ~~functionality~~ additional color schemes to a cellphone in order to generate more sales, and nobody's better at getting it done than Moto. While the KRZR had plenty of hype backing it, it hasn't been around quite long enough to get Motorola's oh-so-typical color-changing treatment (a dash of white notwithstanding), but that's apparently about to change. While details aren't certain just yet, it looks like the company may have two new variants coming down the pike for "Q4 2006" (just in time for the holidays?), but all specs should remain exactly as they current are. Purportedly aiming to hit the market in both black and "silver quartz," the newfangled KRZRs are actually fairly mild considering some of the variations we've seen, but we all know that lime green, fairly tale pink, and candy apple red are (probably) waiting just around the corner.

the "silver quartz" is the color Verizon carries and the black is for Sprint. As it is now the colors are exclusive to the carries and you have no color choice when buying the KRZR.

These are K1s, the GSM version, not K1M which is the CDMA that verizon and sprint have.

Well, you're wrong...that black is different from the Sprint version - notice the silver keypad/accents? On the Sprint K1m, the trim and keypad are black as well.

Verizon has no exclusive rights on the KRZR, either.

And yes, these are GSM versions, not CDMA.

Yeah, like Kevin said, these are both for K1 and not K1M's. These colours may be coming to Rogers Wireless in Canada with is getting the KRZR K1 on Monday.
