Cell Phone: MOTOKRZR K1 Makes Global Debut

The MOTOKRZR K1 has finally come out of the shadows of its predecessor, the now iconic RAZR, to announce itself to the world. Currently available in Hong Kong , the K1 mimics the razor-thin profile and clamshell form factor of its forerunner but with a metallic gloss front finish, and a host of other improvements.

It is equipped with a 2 Megapixel camera with 8x zoom, with the ability to record video. A MicroSD card slot allows users to expand on the onboard memory, which users would use to either take more pictures or add more tunes to fully utilize the bundled MP3 player.
