The Bottom Line Sprint's pretty Motorola Krzr K1m is similar to its Verizon counterpart. Though its EV-DO offerings are slightly better, its performance was a tad diminished. Though the GSM Motorola Krzr K1 has a more attractive color scheme than the CDMA Krzr K1m, some feature differences make it mostly comparable with its sibling. Though it's oh-so pretty, the Motorola Krzr K1m doesn't offer any new features. Plus, multimedia performance wasn't reliable. The Samsung Instinct stands out as one of Sprint's finest devices to date. It's just too bad its call quality could use some improvement. Motorola does a slim slider phone well with the attractive and well-performing GSM Rizr Z3.
