Moto Krave ZN4 and VU204 hitting Verizon Wireless
After releasing some touchscreens from LG and Samsung, Verizon is going to carry the Moto ZN4, or “Krave”. It certainly looks a hell of a lot like the Ming A1200 with the clear flip and the earpiece almost magically floating in that clear piece of plastic. Oh wait, we had one of these! The phone sports a 2 megapixel camera and is pretty standard with EV-DO Rev A, Bluetooth, HTML browser, microSDHC (always a good thing) and support for VCast Mobile TV. At the attractive price of $149 after a $50 mail-in-rebate, and the gimmicky-ness of the clear flip where most consumers hadn’t seen or heard of the Ming, this could be quite a nice dumbphone for VZW. Next up is the VU204 which is just a basic flip phone. Any phone marketed “Buy 1, Get 3 Free” is not going to be the most spectacular product out there, but for those who usually opt for the free or cheapest phones on new contract, this is a pretty decent option. At $29 after $50 rebate, all the features are what you’d come to expect from such a phone: VGA camera, 160×120 display, and Bluetooth. Pretty blah, we say. Motorola, care to cut back on the boring factor?
I might get the Krave before the Storm just because I need a phone within the one month grace period to return it lol
@likeabite. Lolz! Good call.

did someone say “Moto Krave FUGLY”
yep, i think thats wat i heard,
lol
I’ve been waiting on the Krave. I got to play around with it at a vendor show, not bad in the minute or two i had it in my hands. But it will take alot for me to trust motorola’s batteries and down the road the software which always seems to drag after a few months.
Overall pretty cool concept and I think it will be recieved fairly well, but only time will tell.
I could use a flip phone on the side & was hoping the Kraze would hit AT&T but if it’s exclusive to Verizon I may have to open a line for it :/
hey guys. should i get the krave or the blackberry curve! let me know!!!!! thanks
I’m curious about the top screen cover/speaker thing. I like the idea in theory, but it seems like it could be ridiculously flimsy, and I wouldn’t want to have to constantly be worrying about breaking it off.
Pretty sure it’s just as sturdy and durable as a non-transparent flip. Haven’t heard of too many people breaking their Mings.

I like it, but I don’t like that it is a pressure screen.
We have the Kraze and the plastic flip is actually thick and durable. I love this phone.
