Motorola today introduced the new MOTOKRZR K1/K1M and MOTORIZR Z3 handsets, along with their complementary Bluetooth headsets, the H601 and H800.

The MOTOKRZR meets and surpasses the MOTORAZR standard for slimness, with more than a centimeter shaved off its width. Showcasing a multi-dimensional, metallic gloss finish for visual depth, the MOTOKRZR exhibits subtle elegance through magnesium, polished chrome and hardened glass. The solid piece of glass on the front of the phone –a technological first for a large volume mobile–results in a high-gloss luster balancing the velvet-like soft touch finish on the back.

Matching the sleek silhouette of MOTOKRZR, Motorola's first GSM slider, the MOTORIZR handset diversifies the company's product line-up–giving consumers the ability to slide rather than flip. It remains true to Motorola's design with tactile, metallic and soft-touch finishes, a chemically-etched spun metal keypad and optional tattoo graphics.

Available in both GSM (Motorola K1) and CDMA (Motorola K1m), the MOTOKRZR will be available globally during the second half of 2006, regardless of their network preference. The GSM MOTOKRZR features a high resolution 2.0 megapixel camera, stereo Bluetooth audio, an updated phone directory and new messaging applications. While both versions offer integrated music players and expandable memory up to 1GB, the CDMA MOTOKRZR beats to a slightly different drum boasting touch-sensitive music controls, advanced EVDO data services and location-based services capabilities.
