The handset is the new addition to the carrier's slim phone line-up.

I guess I'm not the only one that has gotten sick over the MOTO*RZR handsets that have been launched by mobile carriers all over the world during the last year. We could be sick of it but there it comes again! The MOTOKRZR K1m has been released on the network of the American carrier Verizon Wireless and you will be able to grab it and replace your old brick of a phone (if the case) with a brand new slim and music-enabled "RZR" phone.

It isn't as bad as you might have gotten the impression from the first phrase of this article because the RZRs do look kind of nice and have a reserved spot in my slim, glossy and shiny part of my cell phone loving heart, but, and this is what every mobile phone manufacturer out there together with the carriers that launch their handsets should understand, if the customers get used to something and you will still release the same models again and again (with some little mods and name changes, of course, to make us believe we have a choice) then, you will end up with a big crowd of unhappy fellows that will learn to hate all the guys involved in the phone developing industry. YES, even if the phones look good and have lots of new multimedia dangles attached to them, as is the case of the MOTOKRZR K1m launched by Verizon.

That is my point of view anyway and I suppose not many of the ones that should read this, will after all read it. Spread the word anyway :).

Returning to the just launched K1m, the people that will decide to take it home we'll be able to enjoy all the goodies that come with the integrated V CAST Music service that offers direct access to more than 1.4 million songs, a service that will come together with an optional 2 GB microSD memory expansion card to give you all the space needed to store your favorite music on your future favorite music enabled phone with external music control keys. One will also get wireless Bluetooth connectivity and the exclusive VZ Navigator GPS navigation software that provides audible turn-by-turn directions to any destination in the US.

The price of this slim RZR is 200 $ if you want to give up your mobile freedom for 2 years by signing a service agreement with Verizon Wireless and, of course, after the omnipresent mail-in-rebate.
