We had a feeling we'd get a mixed bag of reviews as soon as we first saw the
Motorola Krave ZN4 -- it's one of those love it or hate it type things, you know? In some cases, reviewers chose to focus on the positives, noting that it was cute, unique, a good music player and a phone that would last and last without a recharge. Another batch of critics couldn't hold back the whip, pointing out that it lacked WiFi, packed a lackluster browser, included yawn-worthy software and offered a keyboard that was "straight-up awkward." As expected, overall ratings hovered between just below average to just above average, and it seems this phone will be exactly what you make it out to be. Moto fans will likely have plenty to cheer about, but those without a dog in the fight may want to give the writeups below a more thorough glance before dropping $149.99 and agreeing to a super-sized 2-year commitment.

I used to have the Mot A780, which was a precursor to this phone. The 780 was a great phone and ahead of its time: embedded Linux, EDGE data, the flip actually had an external number pad and could be used for text messaging and the phone could be answered with the flip up or down, it came with Opera for the web browser, it was one of the first phones to use transflash/microSD, and a host of other items. Mot has been going backwards ever since and has provided no support for these phones in terms of updates and software. These phones have so much potential, but as always Mot fails to take advantage of them at all.

"super-sized 2-year commitment"...
a 2-year commitment is the industry norm. so what's with the snarky comment?!
