Cell Phones & Plans

I’m “at” the Motorola Virtual Press Conference where they’re launching the Krave ZN4 for Verizon.  No surprise here, as this device was leaked far and wide.  But it still sounds pretty interesting - it’s a flip phone with a touchscreen and an “interactive flip.”  Apparently the clear plastic flip cover has touch controls so you can access frequently used functions without opening the device up.

Krave looks like it’s going to pack some punch in addition to that unique clear flip: VCAST TV, Visual Voicemail, 3.5mm headphone jack, virtual landscape QWERTY with haptic feedback, HTML browser, mobile Email and IM, and support for streaming Web videos (that’s what they said) … I’m actually kind of excited for this one. HELLOMOTO! 

Some specs for you to chew on:

• 500 hours of standby time, 250 minutes talk time
• 2.8″ display @ 240 x 400 resolution
• Removable battery

• 2MP camera with digital zoom (fixed focus)
• 130 MB onboard
• microSD memory slot
• EV-DO data
• Video: Capture/Playback/Streaming, H.263, H.264, MPEG4, WMV v9
