Motorola rolls out gold MOTOKRZR K1

Ah yes, it seems Motorola now has the Midas touch. To convince us that the KRZR still has some life in it, they've bumped out a limited edition champagne-gold KRZR K1 -- in Hong Kong, anyway. Like the KRZR Fire or PRODUCT (RED) versions, nothing seems to have been changed here -- it's only been prettified to appeal to a different market (in this case, the we-love-gold set). Before you jump out of your seat to hit the shops, be warned that this handset is apparently exclusive to Hong Kong and ties into a deal with Sa Sa Cosmetics to the tune of a 5 percent discount and free gold nail polish. The basket is definitely empty as far as details of release date, pricing, and carriers, but we will undoubtedly get some more info in the near term.

The MOTOKRZR K1 will be release in Europe too at the end of the year. http://www.evenmobile.com/index.php/2007/04/26/461-motorola-k1-version-or

Cyril - Unless I missed something on that link that you saw or if I translated the French wrong, as far as I can tell, that page doesn't say anything about it being available in Europe as well, just that it's available in Asia.

I've seen the gold shell on eBay already. Save yourself some cash and mod your standard one, if you really must go gold.

Ker-ching!
