The design feature provides users with one-touch access to photos, the music player, the phone's messaging center, V Cast Mobile TV and other features regardless of whether the cell phone cover is open or closed.
The Krave features a 2.8-inch screen with 240 by 240 resolution. That's roughly an inch smaller than the displays on other touchscreen handsets, such as the HTC G1, the iPhone and the BlackBerry Storm.
It also includes an accelerometer, a 2 megapixel camera and haptic feedback in the touchscreen.
"It has text input through a soft numeric keypad, much like a traditional phone. It's software, not hardware. But, then if you rotate the phone, using an accelerometer, it switches to a full QWERTY keyboard," Hazelton noted.
In combination with the camera, the accelerometer enables users to take both portrait and landscape photos as well as capture and watch video. Using the carriers V CAST Video service, Verizon subscribers can download video onto the device, which includes a microSD card slot for up to 8 GB of storage.
V Cast Mobile TV and V Cast Music with Rhapsody services enable users to view broadcast-quality, full-length TV shows and listen to more than 5 million songs.
The handset also includes an HTML browser, a 3.5 mm headphone jack, visual voice mail and Bluetooth.
