I’ve had the KRZR from Sprint for almost a year now. If I didn’t get such a good discount on my next phone for having it for two years I would have junked it almost immediately. It’s S L O………….W! My friend had one on Verizon and it wasn’t this slow so I thought it’d be great. Tried it out at the store, just thought that enough people had messed around with it that it lagged a bit. I got the service update about two months ago thinking that might help and it didn’t. Response time can exceed 5 seconds when accessing your contacts list and I could do without the Motorola predictive text. Also, I have lost about 45-50 texts to the outbox because the phone takes so long to send them that when you close the phone to get on with it it just forgets to send them.

Thumbs down until Sprint pulls their H’s out of their A’s and speeds this buggy up.

Dan – I’ve never been able to get music (or anything really) to transfer without Motorola Phone Tools.

WANT. I just read the KRZR review and think I can pretty much deal with whatever it throws at me. Is there any confirmation on whether or not you can assign personal mp3s as ringtones? I’ve got the phonetools from my lady’s old v3 RAZR, is that enough? I’ll also look into the drivers from hunter’s post if need be. (i’m still mad at Sprint for cheaping this phone down. I wouldn’t mind the 2mp camera since we’re sacrificing the quadband capability.)

Hey guys,
I was wondering, is it possible to swap music files by using Bluetooth between Motokrzr for Sprint and Motokrzr for Cingular or Verizon? If it is, how? Thank you for the expert advice, there have to be some Sprint Motokrzr gurus out there!

@dirtyharry – You can sync many types of content with the k1m by using Motorola Phone Tools and the drivers off of http://developer.motorola.com/.

@vagilord – in reference to above, you can use the same applications to transfer music, if you wish. OR if you have a SD card reader, the phone comes with a microSD card and a microSD-SD card adapter. You can pop this in your reader and place songs on it from you computer without special software.

I have 3 krzr k1m we bought one for myself, husband, and daughter. we have had them since shortly before xmas. and I have had to replace 2 phones so far for “unable to charge” they will not connect to any thing. when you plug it in it will say unable to charge or unable to connect. they replaced both phones no questions asked. well that was about 1 week ago. and my “new” one they swaped out for does the same exact thing. I DO NOT RECOMMEND!

i’ve been looking into buying a motokrzr and i can’t find out if i can put my own music on the card instead of sprint’s. so if i can get any feedback from anyone that owns one that’d be great.

okay so i have a sprint motokrzr and i can’t get it to sync to my computer, i’ve read all the reviews on the verison motokrzr, but on the sprint one there is no “get it now” button i can go to so i can choose “sync” on my phone, my computer keeps recognizing it as a usb modem not a device i can put data into, and it wont show up on media player as a device i can sync, please help
