The KRZR is not a RAZR, or even a sibling of the RAZR, it’s just another Motorola cell phone with a silly name. I guess they’re likely distant cousins, which explains the sleek etched keypad similarities.

Of course, the KRZR is better than the RAZR in almost every way. It’s slightly thicker, but also leaner. That makes it easier to hold than the RAZR, which has a tendency to slip out of the hands because it’s so wide and has thin edges. The operating system is still all-Motorola, but slightly improved. That still means slow and frustrating, for the most part.

Features include Bluetooth, and with A2DP it can stream audio to Bluetooth speakers or headsets. There is also a MicroSD memory card slot that can take up to 1GB of mp3 or photo storage. The internal memory is just 20mb, so don’t count on loading it up with pictures.

Ignoring all the things that really matter, the KRZR also looks cool. It has a metallic blue color made of “aircraft-grade magnesium and aluminum,” according to Motorola. I wonder how much they pay their marketing guys.
