Verizon Wireless - Moto KRZR - September 29, 2006
Looking for a new phone? Well the brand new Motorola KRZR K1m is now available through Verizon Wireless. After being frowned upon for being the last cell phone provider to get the RAZR, VZW is now the first to get the new KRZR. This new RAZR-like phone features a 1.3MP camera, Mp3/Mp4 playback (plus V Cast Music/Video), MicroSD expansion slot, Bluetooth, and Verizon’s V Cast services. The KRZR has now has many of the features that the RAZR lacked, which include external music controls (touch sensitive), a more robust battery life, and a slightly larger internal storage capacity.
Anyways if you wish to get one it is available online now for $199 with a new 2-year contract and $99 for existing customers who are eligible for upgrade. (Note: Won’t be in stores until October 5th) Although we havn’t had a hands-on-review yet, by the looks of it, it seems as though it will be a pretty good phone, despite the fact that it is a bit pricy. Also Skatter Tech will be getting a KRZR by Monday (10/02/06), so check back and expect an in depth review with plenty of pictures soon!

I am trying to set MP3s as my ringtones..so far, I cut the MP3 to less than 20 seconds and have it in 96 bitrate..and I emailed it to my number like JJ said. However, I can’t access my email? Was I supposed to get a notification for receipt of a new email? I tried to go online (on the phone) and access my account (which prompted me to set it up) but then it just diverted me to a screen which told me to call customer service. Did anyone else have this problem or do you have to be signed up with verizon to have an email account?
Justin says
Sounds like you have a verizon phone. If tahts the case,you cant do ANYTHING with these phone because Verizon stripped the programming & features. Everytime I call & complain & write letters,they tell me they never got any reports. I think we all need to write to Verizon & tell them we want the phones we BOUGHT,with the features we PAID FOR,not what they want to give us….
ONE PISSED OFF VERIZON CUSTOMER….
Justin says
You have Verizon,you cant do a thing with your phone. I suggest you and everybody else that has a KRZR K1M through Verizon call & complain & write letters telling them we want the phones & features we PAID FOR!!!!
sahas says
@Justin
I understand your complain and I too agree that the crippled features should be enabled. However they are making the phones available at cheaper prices and charging for other features to make money. Not to be supporting just Verizon in any way, but just to let you know I have reviewed phones from Sprint and At&t/Cingular; they all have crippled these features as well! The only way to get ringtones on the phone (without hacks) is to purchase them. Also just to let you know even the iPhone, which is made for music playback, will not allow users to use their own songs as rigntones.
Justin says
Really?? So features like being able to play my music without opening the phone & going through at least 3-4 menus,being able to set the time limit for my screensavers,or being able to use songs & sounds as ringtones are all things I should NOT have right?? You go spend $3-400 on a brand new multimedia phone that you chose for certain specific features,only to have it activated and find those features stripped and tell me how happy you are…
Good Day Sir
Jimmy says
yo justin if u r payin 300-400 for ur phones uv been ripped off. i hve nvr paid more tan $100-150. only phones that cost that much from the verizon are da pda smarphones. i had the verizon for over 4yrs now and the menu lockup stuff always a problem. but it is still better tan most othrs like sprint and cingular. my sis got a krzr from sprint and she hated it, cuz she couldn’t do notin with it. everyone’s got the same problems, she ended up on verizeon in hte end cuz it had better signal in the area.
Lynn says
When you e-mail the file to your phone, it should come through as a text message. Make sure you are sending it to (your number no dashes)@vzwpix.com. I tried 4 different e-mail accounts and the only one that would work for me was hotmail.
Norman Picard says
I add ringtones from mp3 very easily.
Make sure that you email them to your phone. 1234567890@vzwpix.com Make sure that you register on line at vzwpix.com also. I have added about 5 or 6 ringtones this way. Just make sure they are less than 45secs.
Justin says
Actually you can do something about…you write to or call verizon & tell them you want ALL OF THE FEATURES WE PAID FOR,NOT THE ONES THEY FEEL LIKE GIVING US!!!
LP says
I’ve read most of the posts regarding adding a ringtone to the Verizon K1m Krazor and it still didn’t work for me. I sent the 20 second mp3 to my vzwpix account, then saved it onto my phone. BUT it didn’t automatically save it into ‘My Ringtones’, it was saved into ‘My Sounds’. I can play it, but cannot default my ringtone to it. Did I do something wrong? Can anyone help? Thanks!
FK says
I bought a usb cable for my krazr k1m and it ddidnt come with any cd and i wanted to download my pictures onto my pc (windows xp) so i downloaded a driver for it and i cant seem to work it out so could someone help me out? thanx in advance
Timmy says
Is there anyway to get the 2 gig micro sd to fully work without buying a music essentials kit? My phone isn’t even recognizing the 2 gig when i put it in and i also inputted the directory. I tried just dragging it in but is there a way? Even with the kit? Or is updating firmware good enough?
Thanks in advance
Norman Picard says
The best way to get ringers on your KRAZR phone is to use this site: http://www.mobile17.com
I can email them to my self but that does not always work.
Miriam Lee says
I have a question. I send my friend some ringtones (MP3) through bluetooth but i have no idea where the ringtones have been downloaded onto…. can anybody get me some help???
Harry says
My krzr froze today when I tried to access my MP3 player under Media Gallery. It would just go into the load mode and the phone would restart every time I tried to access MP3. This happened after I purchased a 1 Gig micro SD card, formatted it, downloaded music from My MUsic files on my computer using a USB adapter. Everything worked fine till today when I encountered the problem described by Jason. Here are the steps I used to get it working again. 1. remove your SD card 2. You should now be able to access MP3 menu without the card under Media Gallery as before. 3. Under My music menu press Options. 4. Make sure that Under Options, Search? has Ask beside it. If it doesn’t, it won’t ask and keep searching and restarting your phone always. I hope this works to solve your problem.

my pc won’t recognize my k1m krzr. i got it to work about 2 weeks ago and downloaded 3 songs (all my memory would hold) i bought a 1 gb memory card and installed it now i can’t get my phone to connect to my pc. i did not buy the music essentials kit with cd i’m too cheap. i downloaded all the patches and zip files but still won’t work. help!!!
shh786 says
im confused, verizon told me that it is impossible to send sounds to ur motokrazr and make them ringtones. i emailed some songs to myself and they show up in mysounds but is there really no way to make them ringtones?
Timmy says
the email method works for me…but recently its been inconsistent with where it saves but generally if you email it by attachment and it sounds like an mp3 not a recording on the phone, it should save to my ring tones and end up with a yellow lock next to it
Brad says
I would like to see the music on my phone organized by playlists but have not figured out how to make that happen. I use the music essentials. When I go to “My Music” on the phone it lists all the songs. I can press the upper left to go to “Playlist” but when I do the only playlist there is V CAST Music. When I moved the album I moved it as the playlist. I must be doning something wrong. Help! thanks.
Brad says
Another question. Is there a way to push the music into background to free up the phone to do other functions.. like check the time and look at the contact list, etc? Guessing that is too much to ask for this type of phone– but maybe not ? thanks.
josh says
hey did anyone figure out if there was a way to put mp3 ringtones on the phone a hack or patch or anything. i just got it and i read through the post but i am not really sure. if someone could help me out here that would be great
LaTrisha says
Ok, Aaron B. (12/17/2006) Thanks so much for the info about the assigning ringtones to different contacts. It was really starting to frustrate me! I’m also puzzled as to why you can’t have the vibrate on. Makes absolutely no sense to me either! But thanks again!
Rollo says
How do I get my KRZR to play through my car stereo? I’ve got a Kenwood KDC-MP532U head unit with USB connector, and I attempted to simply hook my KRZR to the HU via the USB cable, and I got “No Device Connected” on my stereo, and “Unauthorized charger” on my phone.
What am I doing wrong?
james sears says
re: 5-11-07. I finally got my pc to recognize my krzr k1m after searching through some of the previous posts. I probably couldn’t tell anyone how I did it (just dumb I guess) but thanks to the forum I can download song to my phone. Great Job Guys!
krzr luvr says
