Roland Tanglao, who's been blogging since '99 about mobile, RSS, podcasting, etc., says he wouldn't pay his own money for the KRZR K1 because it doesn't offer the portable multimedia computer capabilities he seeks - a fair comment from an advanced mobile user and Web 2.0 entrepreneur who seeks a little more out of his devices.

You can read part one of Roland's critique here. He's listed the web browser and incompatibility with ShoZu among other things that, as an advanced user, don't appeal to him.

Those who are in the market for a multimedia rich phone may find the MOTOQ smartphone more appealing. A smartphone, which will also cost more, is designed to handle more advanced multimedia capabilities; the KRZR would appeal to those who want a slim, voice-centric device with a few extra features - be it music or image capture.
