Its great to browse on the internet on the wifi with IPhone, for a week. Now its a very expensive remote control for my iTunes library and the third portable music player in the house. The point is, a mobile phone should be primarly "Mobile" and a Phone. If I want to browse the internet, work in photoshop or play Callof Duty, i have a computer. Motorola makes good phones. iPhone is a revolutionary technology product. But as a phone its overpriced, clumsy to hold against the ear and doesnt fit my trouser pocket, or belt clip. maybe i am crazy but i like the flip models, something i like about snapping it shut after a call, well thats jus me. Moto is clever to put in the simple feature of a 3.5 headphones jack in all their current phones. works perfect.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[cinxleupold]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Oct 23rd 2008 9:43AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Motorola Krave ZN4 review roundup]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/15/motorola-krave-zn4-review-roundup/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/15/motorola-krave-zn4-review-roundup/</guid><description><![CDATA[Like the RAZR, ROKR, KRZR, I'm surprised they didn't stick to their original naming scheme and call it the KRVE]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Precurse]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Oct 15th 2008 10:55AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Motorola Krave ZN4 review roundup]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/15/motorola-krave-zn4-review-roundup/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/15/motorola-krave-zn4-review-roundup/</guid><description><![CDATA[No wonder MOT stock is at all time low.

I'm really torn.  I'm much more comfortable talking on a cell phone that resembles a landline receiver (I can't be completely alone on this) so I was excited to see a cool phone that opens up nice and big -and the call quality is really good.  This part I like.<br><br>I'm a big texter and this is the problem. First off, You DO get used to the QWERTY keyboard with the cover in the way. It may mean a little less reach on your left thumb, but the other hand compensates.  I'm getting as fast on the keys as I am on my Ipod Touch.  The two really big problems could be fixed with a software update and I'd be totally happy with this phone if they were.   The Iphone/touch has word guessing technology LIGHT YEARS in head of this phones.  And it means on an Iphone you can type fast and messy and it's success rate is fabulous (as you all know).  While this phone has predictive text you need to be spelling it right for it to work while  Iphone will translate "xojimg" into "coming" magically.  <br><br>Secondly, in order to send a text you need to hit a lot of keys, and they're in different places on the screen.  On my old EN-V, it felt like a just mashed a key and had my text screen opened in a second.  With this phone just getting there requires attention.  A short cut to the regular text screen (skipping the screen that asks what kind of text message I want to send) would make me happy.  <br><br>I wish I had some insight into what if any software updates were in the pipeline<br><br>]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[jordie]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Oct 16th 2008 12:54PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Motorola Krave ZN4 review roundup]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/15/motorola-krave-zn4-review-roundup/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/15/motorola-krave-zn4-review-roundup/</guid><description><![CDATA[im only on day one of my test and i come from an ENV as well.

It was between the Dare and the Glyde(well I quickly nixed the Glyde idea after trying it out at the Verizon store and getting some insight from other people. Now I am torn between The Dare and The Krave, which is a harder challenge then my previous one. Both phones are very cool and offer some nice features, making it very hard to decide. Hoping by the time I am ready for the purchase, when my New Every Two is here , I will have made a decision. Also from reading hoping the Krave gets a software upgrade, even though it really wouldnt make a huge difference to me, since I dont need a SUPERPHONE.  Hope to hear some more reviews and maybe one or two will sway me one way or another.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[TomD]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Oct 22nd 2008 11:51AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Motorola Krave ZN4 review roundup]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/15/motorola-krave-zn4-review-roundup/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/15/motorola-krave-zn4-review-roundup/</guid><description><![CDATA[I stopped by the local verizon corp store yesterday and played with the Krave. I am currently using an LG VX8300. I have had this phone for over 2 years and love it. I keep thinking I want to get a touch screen phone and have tried numerous ones. Since I am new to touch screen it was fairly easy to use.  But basic functions like one touch dialing and the ability to have hot keys was not there. You can not change the function of the displayed 4 keys or select which function they perform. I use my calendar for everything and having to go thru the menus to get to it was not good. My main purpose of a Cel phone is a "Phone' and good reception and long battery life are inportant. Thanks for the other reviews.

The designers of this phone forgot that this was meant to be a Phone.  It lacks all of the basic usability features like one touch dial, no easy navigation through tools and settings, the call quality was bad and the touch sensitive surface remained enabled during call and did stuff every time the phone touched the face. The list of disappointing features can go on and on, so I'd recommend to wait for the software update before getting this phone.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Fil]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 29th 2008 4:29PM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
