The Motorola Krave ZN4 is now available from Verizon Wireless. The Krave is the first full-touch phone with a
clear, interactive flip so consumers have phone and multimedia features at their
fingertips on the outside and inside. Start Trek fans please note, it looks just like a Star Trek communicator, but won't help you beam up, even though you can beam Bluetooth and TV.
The ad on the Motorola website, touts, "It's clearly you." We're not sure if it is the clear choice yet. Reviews have been mixed but favorable for the design.
Without opening the flip, Krave lets
consumers view texts,
watch TV, access photo galleries, play music and get GPS directions on the
clear, external touch screen with haptic feedback. The comfortable
flip design enables easier phone calls and prevents accidental touch screen
usage and damage. Krave gets even better on the inside, with pinpoint
haptics for enhanced touch control and premium Verizon Wireless services to
satisfy advanced phone and multimedia cravings.
