Motorola KRZR K1

Battery
This phone has great battery life. On standard use with a fair amount of music playback and the necessary photography, we averaged more than three days. This comes after having a slightly lower powered battery than the RAZR (700mAh vs. 710mAh). Add to this standard USB recharging, and you’ll never worry about battery problems again!

Conclusion
I like the Motorola KRZR K1. Yeah, it isn’t a whole lot different from the RAZR, but this is where everyone goes wrong. It isn’t supposed to be. It isn’t really an upgrade to the RAZR—it’s a different series of phones, which is why it isn’t called a RAZR. I like it because it looks good and different, has a standard miniUSB slot by which I can drag and drop music, a microSD expansion slot, stereo Bluetooth A2DP support and great battery life. I like the Motorola KRZR K1. I would have liked an FM radio tuner, which would have put this phone in my upcoming 'All-in-one Phones Under Rs. 20,000' feature, but alas...

The phone costs Rs. 16,000, which seems a little high, but that’s necessary to differentiate it and make it 'premium' from the RAZR. I think its a fair price to pay.
