Cingular/AT&T Finally Tastes the KRZR Flavor

A launch delayed since December

Yes it's true. All the AT&T / Cingular customers can now get a taste of the long awaited KRZR cellphone from Motorola, a mobile that should have been released on the carrier's network since December but has very weirdly been delayed until the moment Cingular got under the Ma Bell skirts and changed its name willingly (or not).

The AT&T / Cingular version of the Motorola
KRZR doesn't come in red or white as some of the buyers would wish but in a blue boring color that won't get many people hyped up about it.

Bad choice of color and this pretty much sums it up.

If anyone of you still wants to get his hands on it, I suppose you already know what you'll get for your money because your friends from Sprint, Verizon or even Rogers Wireless in Canada already have it for some time now and you've probably had your fair share of time to handle it around.

Anyway, for those of you that haven't the chance to get their mittens on this handset, here is what you'll get: a GSM quad-band handset working on 850, 900, 1800 and 1900 MHz networks, with a 256k colors TFT internal display and a secondary CSTN 256k colors external one, 20 MB of internal memory, GPRS class 10 and EDGE class 12 data transfer technologies, a WAP 2.0/xHTML browser, integrated Java MIDP 2.0 technology, email (POP3) and instant messaging capabilities (AIM, MSN and Yahoo), flight mode function, advanced speech recognition, a speakerphone, a 2 megapixel digital camera with camcorder abilities, wireless Bluetooth with stereo A2DP profile, a music player with MP3, AAC and AAC file support, a microSD memory expansion card slot and, as Motorola claims, 6 hours of continuous talking.

Pretty good for a phone weighing only 102 grams, measuring 103 x 42 x 15 mm and being sold for 200$ with a service agreement, isn't it?
