I ordered this from Amazon via Hassle-Free Cell on Monday and had the phone Friday using standard shipping. It was new and even had a fresh battery (manufacture date 8/2008); although manufactured for SE Asia the default language was English and everything works great. I liked my old Razr V3 but it was a little bulky; I loved my moto Pebl but it bit the dust after a nasty fall. The K1 combines the best of both those phones, plus adds a music player. It has a nice solid feel with a rubberized back and a very crisp, high-contrast display like the Pebl and unlike the Razr. One of the things I like about Motorola phones is that accessories using mini-USB work for all their phones, as far as I know. This includes Phone Tools software, stereo earbuds, chargers, etc. so I didn't have to buy all that stuff over again. Call volume and quality is very good and the music player sounds great, although it is a bit quirky and limited and doesn't have external music player control buttons like the CDMA version. The player doesn't recognize a lot of the MP3s I loaded on a 2 gig card, but maybe I just need to wipe it and try again. Like the other Motos I mentioned, the soft keys can be programmed so that there is ready to access to the things I frequently use, like the calendar and alarms. In picking a phone I didn't really care about the voice recognition feature, but it works so well that I use it all the time now. I don't have or need a data plan, so I can't speak to the browser feature, which is no doubt very primitive compared to a smart phone. Overall this an excellent phone for calling, and at a very reasonable price.
The phone came with a foreign charger and the wrong US adapter. After contacting Amazon, they immediately sent me the same thing for exchange.
I ordered a charger from Ebay and am very happy.
The phone is chargable from the mini usb port so I was able to use it until the charger arrived.
I would give it a 5 star if not for this problem. Also hope I don't need the warranty.Nice phone and, thus far, seems to work quite well. The operating manual, though, was in Italian and so I had to go online to look for a manual in English.1. Very bad key pad design. Guys with big fingers wouldn't operate it properly. Around the ring pad, there are six keys squeezed together, so very difficult to work on them.
2. Vibration is too weak to feel it.
3. Charge up is very slow. Need over-night to fully charge up.
4. ....
When I was wondering if I should return it, the phone cannot be charged up any more. Therefore, I returned it without any more hesitation. Because I ordered many accessories with it, and I cannot/or not worth to return them, so it still costs me a quite lot except for all those inconveniences.
