This phone is good to begin with but now, after 18 months it has a very slow loading time & freezes often. Just changing from the main screen to the menu can take more then 5 seconds sometimes & this can become very irritating if you need to send a quick text.

Looks nice but this actual phone isn't very good.

This is probably the worst phone I have owned to date. During the first few months, I was eager to show off its sleek design & fun to use features, but within the first year, I was struck by terrible problems. Within 45 minutes of charging it, the phone would decide it would die. Within 18 months, I have received 4 different phones, 5 different batteries, & 1 new system update, & the problem is still not fixed. I am deeply disappointed in it, & although some people have great experiences with the phone, there are many people who have the same experience, making it near impossible to operate.

I've had my silver KRZR K1 for over 18 months now & I still love it. Great design, easy to use & more features than I need. I got it because it was recommended by Which magazine & I've not been disappointed. I'd recommend it to anyone who wants a stylish, dependable phone.

IT IS ONE OF the WORST MOBILE. NOT ANY FEATURE WORKING PROPERLY. I TRIED TO CONNECT Internet BY Bluetooth. BUT IT NEVER CONNECT. The PICTURE QUALITY IS JUST LOOLING VGA CAMERA. The OUTER GLASS IS SO BAD THAT THAT IT CAN DAMAGE IN ONE FALL. NEVER PURCHASE IT.

I believe this is a great phone that has the most wanted features. It's small in size so very easy to carry it around. I am a person who travels a lot so I had to get the unlocked version. From the day I got it it's been my best friend. I have got no problems with it or no hassle at all.

When I got this phone in July 2007 I thought it was amazing. But now, after 18 months it's starting to slow down & the buttons on the side don't work.

The design, I gave 80% because it looks very slick & quite simple. Good design
Features, I gave 60% because it wasn't that good, camera was only 2mega pixel. It was very simple, wasn't anything special.

Usability I gave 45% because it says the phone has things which you just can't find anywhere!

Overall, I wouldn't get this phone now because there are lots more better phones out. This phone was good last year.

I am young & so it was good for a first phone for me, thanks I hoped I helped xxx.

I got this phone after my LG failed. At the end of my contract I changed to another LG which was absolutely useless because the battery constantly needed charging. Throughout my problems with other phones this Motorola has never let me down. I love its looks & two years after first getting it, it still looks good, even though most if the time it just gets slung in the bottom of my handbag & isn't particularly well looked after. But I only use my phone as a phone or to text so I can't comment on features that others may find important.

Reviewer: Sandra - UK
Date: 2nd Dec 2008

I bought this phone about 18 months ago, specifically for the voice dialling feature. In the manual it says that you speak the numbers you want on voice dialling to load them, but I found no facility for doing this.

When I contacted Motorola they said that it had been change but the manual had not been updated. It was now automatic & all you had to do was tell it to call someone in your contacts list, NOT SO. It will only do this when there is NO background noise, will NOT do it on Bluetooth when in the car because of the engine noise & has dialled anyone & everyone except the person I was trying to contact!

To add insult to injury my mother dies last year & I deleted her number from the phone, but it still dials her number when I am trying to make calls to other people.

Motorola didn't want to know, although it is not fit for the purpose, I GIVE UP & am about to buy a Nokia, no more Motorola for me!

I have had this phone for ages now I am going get a new phone for Christmas this year. I find this phone easy to use & simple. Sometimes I have problems connecting Bluetooth but most times it works. The front of the phone gets all fingerprints & now I have a huge crack down the middle. Although I do like the idea of the mini screen on the front it is quite handy to check the time which is enlarged. For some reason my phone always has a small picture of an alarm clock next to the signal. I don't really know if other people would think this but the battery life is really good.

This is the bad phone, I dropped it once & the whole front glass thing looks like I took a baseball bat to it, rubbish, now they won't believe me that the cracks aren't responsible for the LCD turning white & blank all the time because it was happening before that.

I swear they put the easily breakable thing out side for that reason because they take your money & run. Don't buy this phone, there phone will explode soon.

I have had this phone for about a year now. At first the phone was great. But now it is very slow when you want to send a text or when you are navigating round it. Also the phone is easy to scratch & my phone has a lot of cracks on it so it makes it ugly. DO NOT BUY THIS PHONE IT IS RUBBISH.

Reviewer: Jonathan - Dublin, Ireland
Date: 6th Oct 2008

This phone puzzles me greatly. I had it for a year, buying it because it is one of the best looking phones on the market. I was very proud for a couple of months, showing off its design & easy to use screens.

Then the problems arose. Firstly, & fairly minor but still frustrating, the predictive text does not remember unusual words, such as names & places. But more over the GREATEST flaw of this phone is its battery life & regular resets. The phone will move from green battery light (fully charged with good charge) to red battery light (low charge to empty) with very little warning. I tend to get little more than two days between charges, & often I will leave the house for a few hours with a green light only to return home with a dead phone, although I may not have used it all that often. This is further exacerbated by the regular resets the phone encounters mid call, when the phone will cut someone off & become utterly inactive for a minute or so.

I have been thoroughly disappointed by my experience with this phone &, due to this as well as friends comments about other Motorola phones, will steer clear of the manufacturer in the future. Ultimately a phone not unlike a famous lady, pretty to look at, but excruciating after a short time.

Mine got mildly moist whilst in a rain shower. Servicing agents told me the water ingress was NOT VERY MUCH but it was sufficient to break the phone.

I will never consider another one. I have now used the Sony Ericsson W810i for about 18 months & although at first it felt flimsy (probably because of the lightweight plastic) it has been far superior in damage or moisture acceptance than the KRZR ever was!

I gave it a 5% design rating, because design is more than how a piece of apparatus looks!

Usability, again 5% though it should be 0% as its been in my old phone draw after only 1 months operation!

Good basic phone nothing really special about the phone the thing I love about the phone is that it is reliable, plus the sound quality is really good. I would recommend this for people who are looking for everything in one but don't expect anything special.

I get a new phone about every 6 months as I get bored really quickly. At the moment I have an LG Viewty but am getting so bored with never having any signal & a really chunky phone I have gone back to my favourite phone. The k1. I got this phone after having the Sony Ericsson k800i. I have acrylic long nails & find a lot of phones hard to text on, so this always influences my phone decisions. The k1 is so easy to type on. DOWNSIDE is for some reason, it would only store 9 messages in the inbox before it told me it was full up. I did the sensible thing & emailed Motorola who told me to do a software update. I did this & there are currently 146 messages in my inbox.

This is a brilliant little phone for its money, I have had all the top phones N95, K800i, Viewty, G600 (what an awful phone), but always go back to the k1 until another brilliant new phone comes out, I use it for 3 to 4 months then go back to the k1.

My screen is not cracked, even after I left it on the roof of my car & drove off with it hitting the floor, the only thing that happened was the back of the phone & the battery fell off. I have dropped it down the stairs, sat on it, & even dropped it in a mop bucket (admittedly it spent 3 days in the airing cupboard).

I paid £79 for this phone last year, & do not regret it. A great little phone.

It's getting on a bit now (I've had my phone for 18 months) but I still think the Krzr is a good phone.

My phone choice is usually based on one criteria, it looks good. & this phone certainly does that. Many people have commented on my K1 even if they have a newer phone. It's slim enough, lightweight & attractive.

What it doesn't have for the technical people out there is a great deal of features. As mentioned, with the phone being fairly old, many features are out of date. There is a camera (without flash) that isn't particularly good, there is an MP3 player which can be tempremental, & there are a few games which are a bit rubbish.

If you want to look good & don't have much of a budget go for this phone. If you want all the latest features then you'll need to spend a little more money on a newer phone.

What a piece of rubbish! Had my last LG phone for 4 years before it died & traded it in for the Krzr K1. A pretty slick looking phone but you guessed it, I have a cracked screen & only had it 3 weeks. No drops just carried it in my pocket.

No one wants to take responsibility for this defect. Mobile phone company (Rogers) would only swap it (no thanks) & wanted to charge $50 for a repair as it is not a manufactures defect. When I asked the repair guy if he sees this a lot he replied with this phone, yes, to which I replied well isn't that then a manufacturer's defect? ', you guessed it. No response.

Rogers show some integrity & stop carrying this piece of junk, & Motorola get your act together, I expect better from you. & why don't you have a 24 7 365 customer support centre in North America.

Reviewer: Charlie - Staffs, UK

I've had the phone now for 18 months & still love it. I am normally the type to have a new one every 9 months or so, but have been quite content with this one!

I am not going to lie & say that it's the best phone ever. It does have its fault.

My down button is very dodgy & works when it wants to which is very annoying when you're trying to read text or just generally using the phone. I've also got a huge crack on the outside of the flip part but its only because I dropped it & I think that it stood up very well for the 18 months I've had it! I would recommend this phone & would buy another one.

It certainly looks good & you can't beat somebody saying to you ooh that's a posh phone. However you can get a bit obsessive over the grubby finger marks on the shiny parts of the phone. It's very good value for the price it is at now & as a bonus it's easy to use!

My wife both have KRZR K1, love it from the beginning because it was a slim RAZR. Anyway, about 6 months into the new KRZR (we got it in January 2007), my wife phone (clamshell) ear piece was losing the volume. At first we thought maybe it was just a isolated incident, then I had tried it again & it was hard to hear the other person communicating to you. We had to switch to speaker mode. We took it to our provider Verizon Wireless & we were able to exchange it for another phone. I don't think the customer service rep believe us. I had my phone & my wife phone next to each other & the rep knew that we weren't pulling her leg. We let her hear the ear volume from mine to my wife & the sound was huge. Well, jump ahead to June 2008 & my KRZR started several months ago. Me, I was in denial & had it on speaker mode or using my Bluetooth. I took it in to Verizon & another rep was assisting me & she didn't believe me. She called my phone & had one of her co worker answer my phone. He said that he could hear her fine. I told him to walk to the front door & talk to her then. He came back & said the volume was very low & had a hard time understanding his co worker. She switched my phone out (I had the metallic shell).

Anyway, it's working fine for now. The maximum micro SD that this will take is 2GB. If you try to load music in from your computer to memory card, most will work & some will not. This is due to your music formats meaning where or how you had obtained your music. Verizon have their own software & one can upload to their media player & downloaded to the phone memory card. Good Luck.

This phone is GREAT, I text a lot & it is FANTASTIC. With a 2GB micro SD card it will hold HUNDREDS of songs! & pictures with a FANTASTIC 2MP camera. The KRZR K1 had loads or FEATURES, TOO MANY to list! Those of you who are complaining about the screen or cracks on the outside are just not HANDLING it properly. I've had mine for 5 MONTHS (I think) & it has NOT EVEN GOT A CRACK on it, it also has NEVER MESSED UP. The screen resolution is BRILLIANT & the sound is CRYSTAL CLEAR! GREAT PHONE MUST BUY!

I love the streamline & smooth phone, not forgetting that it's a reddy pink colour! Has everything you would need on the phone, MP3 player which you can minimise while you do other things such as text. It has an expandable memory so can hold anything & everything you want. It has help files to help you with getting to know your phone, although it's very easy to understand & work. Its has Bluetooth. It has one game, Sudoku but gives you options to download more if you a game lover. the camera although not as good as others still give you a good photo & you can even take the photo with the phone closes so you can see yourself in the reflective shinny top. The phone also has ebuddybeta, which if you don't know is MSN & yahoo, depending on which you wish to go on, so you can talk to your friends for free on the move. Only bad thing I would say is that it can't hold to bigger photos, which I have found other phones can. Also the phone doesn't have a flash so it's pretty impossible to take photos in dark lighting. However the phone is great! I can always get signal & have never been cut off due to signal when on a call.

Phone is so pretty that you can spend your life just looking at it. But I must to say that it is not the best phone I've had. I come from Sony Ericsson & I think Motorola has a lot to learn from Sony Ericsson in matter of sound & battery life.

My Advice, buy the phone it's so beautiful!

Reviewer: Jane - Edinburgh, UK
Date: 14th Jun 2008

This phone is certainly a gorgeous thing to look at (bar the grease smudges it collects) but it does have a few flaws & overall I think it is a step backwards from the RAZR. For a start, the 1 & 4 keys on the keypad only work occasionally. The actual keypad doesn't seem to be fully lined up with the contact pads underneath, I have to be careful to press the 1 key on the far right hand side only.

The Bluetooth on the handset has never worked, it switches on just fine but doesn't do anything. The predictive text does not learn from corrections. Reception isn't great & I often have emergency cover only.

Otherwise it's fine, the camera seems reasonable as does the video. & I've had the handset for nearly 18 months & there have been no cracks or major malfunction.

I own a business & have had many phone phones, all in heavy use. This phone was okay, but the 1 year warrantee is not good! THERE IS NO WARENTEE, Why? If you get a scratch or crack in the lens (the clear plastic cover) they WILL NOT FIX YOUR PHONE.

Its physical damage, my fault. Yup. That small crack that are in the plastic of the case (lens) is somehow causing my phone to NOT CHARGE anymore.

Main point, these phones are designed to have the lens scratch & crack EASY, & when it does they do not honour the warrantee, period.

My phone was sent in with charging problems but they won't even look at that until I pay 90 dollars to fix the small hair line crack in the cover!

I will NEVER buy Motorola again, & for that matter I am dropping Aliant BELL as my mobile phone carrier.

Don't drop your phone! A brilliant little thing, perfect for texting & talking which is what a phone is meant for, looks stylish too.

Great little phone loved it, takes great photos in spite of what people say, if you want fantastic photos get a camera. Very clear call quality & delighted overall with the performance of this phone, battery life was very good too. Even dropped it a few times, mind you it was in a case & it didn't crack, only a cheap Dollar Store case too.

Very sick now, had it just short of 3 months & carelessly lost it, $350 to replace it on Fido, so I am without a phone now :- ( I can get one cheaper on the net however, there's only a 3 month warranty with them & it's a European model, not sure if it will work properly in Canada?

Bought this phone a year ago & loved it. It's been treated badly & there's no damage to screen. It stores over 200 texts in inbox & outbox. The problem I have is I have just bought another identical one on different network but it says messages full after less than 20 texts in my inbox. Please help if you know why, is there any way it could be the network, 1st phone was on T mobile, new one is with Tesco.

Had this phone 14 month & really like the look & design. The only problem I have had is poor signal strength in certain areas even though other Motorola's on the same network are perfectly fine in the same areas. Motorola are currently looking into this.
No problem with the screen cracking but my son has the same phone & his did crack. He used to leave his on the windowsill above a radiator & wondered whether it could be the heat.

Reviewer: Nick - Manchester, UK

Had this phone for 18 months. Still in pristine condition, except for paint flaking on the number 6 button!

Still looks the business, nothing can quite come close to the overall look of the phone except for the Viewty/iPhone.

Like the ability to put MP3s as ringtones/message alerts. Easy calendar function & a calculator even my wife can work!

Camera not brilliant, standard 2 mega pixels with no flash. Low light pictures come out a bit grainy, & responsiveness of the camera can be a bit sluggish, but pictures can easily be printed to A4 size without any pixelisation.

Easy to access microSD card is big advantage, & items are easy to copy between the two.

Bluetooth is slow transferring data (not as slow as LG though! ) & occasionally looses connection with my Moto headset, however when connected sound quality is very good.

I haven't had the problem with amount of texts stored. I've currently got 157 in my inbox & 72 in my outbox.

Overall I've enjoyed using this phone & am only changing it because I am due an upgrade.

I would recommend this phone to someone who just wants a phone with a basic camera. It does have MP3 functionality however the quality is not the same as a dedicated MP3 player.

Had first K1 for 4 months no problems neat design looks ace & very usable although I find texting a bit slow?

Then one morning the screen just cracked no reason, wasn't dropped or anything? Replaced under insurance with another one. This one survived about 12 months or so until last night when I walked past the table & clipped it with my leg (phone was in pocket), guess what, screen cracked! This looks like a bullet had been shot at the screen. What a shame this is a really cool phone. I've only ever had Motorola phones, never again the quality has gone down hill over the last 2-3 years, have to go back to my V3 I kept just in case until contract ends next month, looking at a Samsung G800, hope it will be a bit tougher & looks cool also?

Reviewer: Jo - UK

I've had this phone for almost 18 months now & although I haven't experienced any major problems with it like cracking screens, etc, I can only say, it's a pretty paperweight! Yes it looks great, but that's it! The camera is really poor & don't get me started on the predictive text, absolutely awful! Also, if you are a girlie like me who loves her long nails, you'll find the flat keypad a nightmare & end up pressing the buttons with your nails. Consequently, the keys are crumbling! My contract is up next month & there's no way I'll be having a Motorola again, Going back to good old Nokia. If you are buying an older model with v5 OS, O2 were doing a free upgrade to v6, I upgraded mine & it worked very well. Just search on Google.

02 have just released a version 2 of the Orbit so if you're buying new or from an Internet site, it may be worth checking out the version 2 first.

In summary, this is the best phone I've ever had but I got fed up of the PDA style interface & went back to a phone style interface (I.e. Keypad). I am not going to mark the orbit down for this simply because you will be very aware that you're buying a PDA phone without a keypad. The lack of buttons should be obvious & part of the decision to buy the phone.

Both my friend & I have had this phone over a year now. I was very unsure at first after reading reviews on screen cracking & many faults. But I have to say it's been the best phone I have ever had. I use all of the features & really don't have a problem. My friends phone is cracked very slightly but after the punishment its received I am really not surprised it's been in the bath twice, dropped endless amounts of times & even rescued from her 4 year old bull terriers jaws & it's still going strong. Call that luck but I couldn't see a Nokia taking that, it's so far the only phone she hasn't managed to break totally. Battery lasts approx 2 to 3 days with average use. It's a great phone if you want to take on the spot pictures or videos & have MP3 ringtones. If you want a phone to listen to music & use as a MP3 player then it will be a big disappointment. But to someone who wants a phone that easy to use with good features then it's great. To SUZANNE IN MANCHESTER when you put a new micro card in the phone you need to format it before it can recognise it or you can save things. Do this in SETTINGS, PHONE STATUS, STORAGE DEVICES. Highlight Memory Card then OPTIONS, FORMAT. Make sure it's the card you highlight or you will wipe the phone with no going back!

I got this phone earlier & haven't inserted my SIM card, so I haven't used it yet. So that is why the Features & usability is low. LOL!

After reading the reviews on this mobile. I am worried that my phone screen will crack. How does this happen & why? Can anybody help? I am so worried!

This phone looks great although it is a shame the whole of the phone couldn't be a mirror. It looks weird because it is made from two different materials. Oh well.

P.S. Write Back, was this the wrong phone to choose?

I had the phone 5 days & the crack showed up. At first a little scratch then the next day it was the full length of the faceplate. The cell company would do nothing about it. They denied that the KRZR was prone to cracking. I am really upset about this & don't know what else to do. I will never recommend this phone to anyone.

Don't use this phone if it is raining! Mine now has water damage & Motorola are not interested. I would understand if I dropped it in a puddle!

This phone looks good but don't be fooled, within about 2 weeks the screen had cracks in it, & that isn't because I've thrown it about the place, it just happens, after having it for a year it is chipped cracked & looks a mess, everyone else I've spoken to has had the same problems.

The battery is also not good, I have to charge it every night & that's even if I haven't used it during the day!

The camera is pretty rubbish as well & I can't use predictive text as it can't keep up with the speed that I text!

On the whole I won't be buying a Motorola again & can't wait to be back using a Nokia!

Have had two in the last 6 months, first sent back as its features would not work properly, second one now cracked, texting is limited, stops working for no reason, I do not know people have called me as its ring tone does not work half of the time. Rubbish, rubbish do not buy. Sleek to look at though.

Hi, I am thinking of buying this phone as its really cheap now & wanted it when it first came out but not being aloud a contract by my parents (I am a teenager) & everyone is saying that the screen cracks & I am really worried about this.

Other people are also saying they had problems with the MP3 player I don't use the MP3 on my phone at the moment much but I do use it for the ring tones, so I would be really grateful if someone could give me some answers on these things.

P.S the reason the features & usability are low is because I don't know how well the phone works or what its features are like.

You'd be silly not to buy this phone. Not only is it sleek, it works like a dream to. If you're thinking about getting a Nokia or LG, don't, get one of these!

This is an excellent phone. I've had it 15 months & never had any problem. Neither have I had any problems with any cracks & I work with cement & stone. I would suggest that you don't keep it in jeans pocket, cause it's likely that the bending force (in front or back) when you sit down may cause it to crack.

The camera is very good & so is the video mode. It has some handy features, like the mirror camera & touch voice record which anyone can use without even looking. Calls are crystal clear, no connection problems at all & battery still lasts ages.

If there's one small thing I don't like about it, it's the buttons on the side which change ring styles. Quite often they get pressed in your pocket without you knowing so you might put it on silent & miss a call, but overall it's a cracking phone LOL.

This is a good phone which has little twicks. The mirror is a fabulous idea, but in blue it is pretty useless as you can't c your make up or hair clearly. The mirror did also collect a series of cracks over the year, especially while I was in Greece 4 some reason. The keypad is really good but collects fingerprints. It has really good screens & the ringtones are good. The features are about average & the battery lasts ages.

Had mine for 12 months & give it a real hammering, 2000 minutes a month & 200 to 300 texts a month also. I've dropped it many times & it's never let me down. HOWEVER, no light feature is a small gripe but more important is the fact that the text memory is full after about only 16 or 17 texts so you keep having to delete them! I don't do music, Bluetooth or silly games & ringtones so can't comment on those features but my glass & screen remain unmarked despite the heavy use.

Hi had this phone for 2 weeks & bought the micro SD card. I can't work out the MP3 player at all. I have tried to Bluetooth music & download music from computer onto memory card but it just isn't having it. Can anyone help?

The phone looks great from the outside but that's about it. When used the interface & screens etc. Are very old fashioned & boring, & runs slowly at times.

I've had the phone for around 9 months & it just randomly broke. I didn't care.

I was going to get this phone or the Nokia 7373 in the end I got the 7373 I don't know why but this phone is great my mates got it & has had no problems with it or anything.

She gave it to me to borrow while my phone was on order (she had a spare LG shine) & the week I had it I was astonished & as soon as I got my new phone I thought have I made the right choice. I've still got the 7373 & my mate gave me the LG for a birthday pressie & she still has this phone & no problems.

Hope this helps!

I have had this phone on contract for a year now. Just about to change it as my contract is up. In the time I have had the phone I have thought it is great.

Only big problem was that my screen cracked shortly after I got it & the phone company my contract was with said there was nothing they could do about it.

Apart from that it suited me down to the ground. Easy to use & everything that I wanted from a phone, apart from the crack.

I've bought this phone for 2 or 3 months. First of all I should say I've just bought this phone for it's fabulous design, so unique & attractive but I got to if you want to buy it for its feature because it won't fulfil your desire.

About its camera & it's capability I want to say it is better than most of 2 megapixel camera which they use on their product these days. I've seen & tested some Nokia, Sony Ericsson. Phone which had 2megapixel camera but comparing with Moto K1 they are so weak.

I have had this phone nearly a year now, it is on its second battery & even that is giving up the ghost. Followed the manufacturer instructions about letting it totally discharge & fully recharging. But still no joy, also cannot get the phone to upload onto MS Vista. Never mind, I can replace it soon.

Hi I've had this phone for 11 months now & it has been great. I have dropped it many times & it has never cracked. However one day whilst playing golf I put it in my pocket with a golf ball, not a good idea, the mirror screen cracked straight down the middle of it, the screen at the front still works perfectly which I was pleased with :) the texting is also fantastic this is my 3rd Motorola phone & the texting on it is so easy to pick up none of this hard predictive texting. The camera is also very good for photos & videos. Also the expandable memory is great you can cram so many songs onto i
