Motorola is making a comeback and have a released a phone that goes into direct competition with iPhone and HTC's G1, the phone is offered by Verizon at $149.00 and its called Krave ZN4

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.

LOL, what comeback?

LOL, my Camera doesn't have an accelerometer and I can do this :confused:
I don't understand :confused:

Did anyone see this size of that Motorola Badge? :eek: that thing is huuuuge!

talk about apple fanbois, pfft...that logo's just insane! ...actually, I have never heard of a motorola fanboi....:D
 
I have no idea why anyone would be taken by a Motorola.

Everything about the phones are nasty.
Software, hardware - I never liked them and had plenty of time to mess around with phones that my friends had in the past.

A Motorola smartphone?
Smart move would be for them not to bother IMO ;)
 
Someone at Motorola has something against big displays & decent camera specs.

I can't believe all their phones still have such tiny displays. *shakes head*

Motorola actually produced the first mobile phone. Give them respect where respect is due.
 
Ah Motorola, made by yanks who are still light years behind the cell phone industry....I mean you still see Haratio Cane on CSI use a Motorola that shaka Zulu used in the boer war. :D

Shaka's reception was not so good that day. :)

Now that I think about it - I see my phone quite a lot in the movies/series.
 
Lol Moto is still floating on their V3 sales...
Its the US governments fault for keeping Moto behind, they invested to much into their crap analogue networks while the rest of the worlds on GSM.
Now their phones are outdated and crap, their network infrastructure is almost non existant... very hard for to make a comeback against Alcatel, Ericsson and now even Nokia Siemens.
 
Yeah it is very strange how the US have managed to fall behind so much with regard to cellular technology etc....My wife who lived there insists that it is purely because people there don't need cell phones so hardly anyone has one..Fair enough I guess but I think there is more to it than that.
