Fresh from its success with the game-changing Apple iPhone announcement, the carrier lands the GSM/EDGE KRZR in its music phone lineup.

Cingular is on a roll. First, it stole Verizon Wireless's V Cast Mobile TV thunder with Tuesday's seismic Apple iPhone announcement, and now it's unveiling the GSM version of Motorola's popular KRZR handset. The K1 cuts a sleek profile at 4.1 by 1.7 by 0.6 inches, and it works with the Cingular Music service (which lets you sync up your Napster and Yahoo Music tunes). Stereo Bluetooth and microSD memory expansion bolster the K1's music abilities, although the lack of 3G data access (the phone is EDGE-only, as opposed to the EV-DO-enabled K1m) is a bit disapppoting. Other features include a 2-megapixel camera, speaker-independent voice dialing, and a speakerphone. Keep your eyes peeled for our full review.

Specifications

  • Quad-band GSM/EDGE support
  • Works with Cingular Music
  • 2-megapixel camera
  • Audio and video streaming
  • Bluetooth (including stereo Bluetooth support)
  • microSD memory expansion
  • Vocie recognition
  • Measures 0.6 by 1.7 by 4.1 inches, 3.6 ounces


Pricing and availability

The Motorola KZRK K1 is available now from Cingular for $200 with a two-year service agreement.
