 ok for JUST calls, sketchy battery life October 14, 2008
I am nearing the end of a 2-yr contract with Verizon on this phone. If I had to do it again, I'd probably have just gotten something cheaper and less shiny looking. This phone appears to STILL be quite expensive despite the fact it isn't really good at anything except plain, no frills phone calls. I found signal strength generally good, call quality ok but not exceptional. I liked the handsfree function (speakerphone, etc) and also the bluetooth. I didn't like the way the battery started to become EXTREMELY depleted after about one year of use. I started to talk to people for about two minutes (seriously, not an exaggeration) before I would need to charge the phone. While the solution is pretty simple - just get a new battery - batteries can be rather expensive and it is just a frustrating experience.
Once the battery was replaced at 1.5 years, however (when I really should have just done it much earlier at 1 year), battery life returned to normal. That is, you could expect to have quite a bit of standby power without chatting, and you could have at least 1 hour of talk time easily with no fear.
Internet is basically nonexistent and only in emergencies for Verizon's ridiculously slow and old proprietary browswer. I did use it a few times to view email in a pinch, but wouldn't recommend anyone taking its internet capability seriously.
Texting is ok if you are relatively speedy on the standard non-QWERTY keypad. I was able to manage as I am not a power texter (a busy texting day for me would be 20 msgs). If you are crazy about texting you might prefer QWERTY.
I didn't use the music player so I cannot comment on that.
Very durable phone, dropped a few times onto pavement (ouch!). Scratched front not very noticeable.
Bottom line: October 2008 means the technology is way, WAY better than when I got this. Get something nice for yourself - it'll probably be even cheaper!

This item just as advertised. My son broke his old razor phone and we needed a new one quick. This did just the trick along with being a better phone.
 Throwing it out! September 23, 2008

I purchased this phone the last of May '08 and wasn't really concerned when it had no warranty. I figured it would last a while. After about 2 months, it started acting strange and dialing the number 2. A week went by and my calls wouldn't connect - even with 5 bars of signal. Another week and it said "Emergency Only". I have researched the issues on the internet and contacted AT&T tech support but nothing worked. It was a waste of money. The moral of the story? Don't buy this phone without a warranty!
 Love this phone! September 15, 2008

I have only had my KRZR for a month now but I love this phone. I am able to get a signal in once dead areas and the battery life is amazing. The only small detail that is a little annoying is that its hard to keep the face plate clean.
 regular sd card doesn't fit September 10, 2008

watch out for this add as you think that it is unlocked and will work just fine--read the entire description as the sd card is a mini and won't work with most carriers! Returning tomorrow.
