Once you feel it...you will Krave it!

I went from the Samsung Glyde to the Motorola Krave. Hands down, best touch screen phone I have used. I love the fact that the touch screen is not heat sensitive. Makes a big difference believe it or not. I have played with it like it is a toy. It is sleek, modern and easy to use. The only phone I would trade this for is when they come up with the replacement that out does the Krave. Couldn't be more satisfied. Go out and buy or try. You will not be disappointed.

this phone takes touch to the next level

by Melonie A. Mclaurin from North Carolina on 2009-01-11
Motorola has hit one out of the park with the Krave Z4N. I debtated buying this phone for more than a month -- so it was not an impulse buy the way phone buying has typically been for me. I read up on this one and was ultimately impressed enough to give it a try, and I am glad I did. The touch screen is not only beautiful, but highly accurate. The only times I have missed touching the right number or letter were when I was getting used to the sidelong orientation of the flip when opened to the left (for texting using the vitual qwerty) -- this is not at all a fatal flaw in the phone's design. You really do adjust to it with practice and it becomes second nature. It doesn't matter if your fingers are huge or tiny, you don't have to touch hard to make things happen. I even suspect that this phone is psychic, as I swear sometimes I only have to think of hitting a letter and it works. :) Ringtones are no problem. Just edit your own clips (I use Audacity with the LAME mp3 encoder) and save them as mp3s about 20 - 28 seconds long. Use a microSD card to move it from your PC to the phone, then send it to yourself as a picture message. Upon opening the file, touch its icon and you have the option to save it, or SAVE AS RINGTONE. Ta-da. Works with any song, unless copy protected from having been purchased through the iTunes store before they liberated their tracks. This phone is my "instead of an iPhone" phone. Sure, no WIFI, but you don't need it because Verizon's high speed network saturates the air everywhere I have been anyway. Really, a beautiful phone with great features.

Very nice phone. Good enough extras.

Most reviews of this phone on the web are neutral to negative, and I don't get it. This phone is solid, never crashed or froze like some have reported. The full size headphone jack is awesome. Looks nice, the case doesn't scratch very easy. Camera takes 1600x1200 pictures. The wall charger is tiny. Once I read the manual, and got used to where to touch, I don't think I will ever go back to a "normal" phone. The screen is big, bright and attention getting. The speakerphone, call and voice quality are top notch. VZ navigator, visual voice mail and Vcast TV are surprisingly good. In my opinion the horizontal tap keyboard is better than the iphone and the storm. It seems to get less errors. Things that could be better. No thin aftermarket case, just those stupid belt holsters. No flash or mirror on the camera. Read the manual, some things are impossible to "learn" without reading.

Read the instructions

This phone is NOT for people who do not want to read the guide book. If you read the instructions there really is no problems on how to use the phone. I love it and am glad I bought it. Pros: Crisp and vivid colors - really cool looking - Sound quality is great - the phone almost knows what you want it to do, you barely have to touch it - pictures are satisfactory for a cell phone. Cons: you have to read the book - and you have to use a light touch on the screen - if you are heavy handed or not willing to read the guide book this may not be the phone for you.

Great Phone

by P. Niederer from on 2009-01-05
I really like this phone. I got it for Christmas and have not been disappointed at all. Pros: First of all I upgraded from an old LG flip phone and I was never quite satisfied with it because I was unable to make or receive phone calls from my home in the country due to poor reception, but this problem of poor reception has been completely nullified with the Krave. I have yet to drop a call and I can even access the mobile web with great speed from my home. The Krave also has great battery life. I can listen to hours upon hours of music and I find that I still have 3/4 battery. This is very comforting to know that it won't die on me when I need it most. The touch screen is really responsive on both the front cover and the actual screen itself. Lastly the phone is quite pretty to look at. I find myself admiring it from time to time. Cons: The biggest con with the phone is that you cannot listen to music and surf the web(or take pictures, etc.) at the same time. That would be so useful if you could multitask. Also, as with any touch phone, the screen is be a fingerprint magnet.
