3G Motorola KRZR in the flesh?

by Chris Ziegler posted Jan 22nd 2007 at 11:43PM

Moto sorta got the GSM variant of its KRZR -- the K1 -- off on a bad foot by failing to imbue it with the same manner of broadband data enjoyed by its K1m CDMA sibling. Of course, given everything we know about Motorola, the milking of the KRZR platform has only just begun, and the KRZR-like handset getting shown around over at MotoX Forum certainly seems to exhibit all the telltale signs of a re-upped K1. Details are virtually non-existent, but the presence of a front-facing cam on the lower right of the screen speaks volumes about the internals (read: UMTS). So Motorola, Cingular, if you folks are out there: we implore you to have a look-see at bringing this one stateside, y'hear?

Am I the only one who finds this handset too large?

NO its freaking long as hell when opened. Hell its long when its closed. I wanted this phone until i held it. FUCK YOU MOTOROLA! Catch up! Release your new UI in the US or die. Why don't you get rid of some employees (fire them) and concentrate on new ideas.

Why can't Moto shake that ugly hinge on the KRZR? I kind of liked it until I flipped it open, and then I had more of a "I want to throw up on it" reaction than a "I want to buy it" one.

Who knows.

According to the presentation just posted, this is the K3.
