Motorola Krzr K1 (styled KRZR (pronounced "crazer" /ˈkreɪzər/[1]), also marketed as Motokrzr K1) is a clamshell mobile phone developed and marketed by Motorola. The Krzr K1 was announced on 1 July 2006 with a design that is longer but narrower than the Motorola Razr V3. During development, it was codenamed "Canary" and had earlier been named Razr K1.[2]
The K1 used the motosync system to synchronize contacts and the calendar with the touch of a button. It also used the Push-To-View system for sharing of images in real-time. The phone included stylized features such as a glossy glass finish. It has a smaller sized display compared to Razr due to the different physical body.
A GSM/EDGE model was released by AT&T, Rogers Wireless, T-Mobile, SunCom Wireless and Cincinnati Bell Wireless, and a CDMA 1x/EV-DO model was released by Pocket Communications, Verizon Wireless, Sprint, US Cellular, Alltel, Virgin Mobile Canada and Boost Mobile as Krzr K1m. An updated successor, Krzr K3, was released in 2007 which is also 3G.[3]
