KRZR Blog

Well, let's not call it a group yet, as there's only one person in it. But we've got it set up, and we're hoping that any of you testing out the video features of the phone will join in... and (please) create something a little more stimulating than my little tests.
You can access the Youtube krzrbloggers group here (or in the menu at right)
And as always, we'd ask that you tag your videos 'krzr' or 'krzrbloggers' so that we can find and link to them.
Jeremy at Popped Culture is already trying out the video features on his phone. You can check out his video efforts here.

After watching an episode of Star Trek, Jeremy of Popped Culture came to the conclusion that his "cell phone far surpasses the communicators the original Enterprise crew used." Check out his take on the K1, and be entertained by the video of his highly energetic son.
And Jeremy... as Spock once said:
"We simply must accept the fact that Captain Kirk is no longer alive."

Allright, so this is pretty sweet. Rannie over at Photojunkie has gone and set up a krzrbloggers group on Facebook (registration required if you are not already a Facebook user)
Nicely done, and I hope others will join in. As we move into phase II, we will definitely be pointing folks to both Facebook and the flickr group.
Maybe we let Rannie off the hook on the administration side by inviting any folks interested in joining the group to add Ian or I as a friend and we will send you an invite.
Thanks for setting this up, Rannie.

The diversity of the bloggers invited to test drive the KRZR is often highlighted in the way they apply the various features of the KRZR to their blogs or flickr sites.
Case in point, and in her ever-eloquent and soul-baring style, Meg shares a glimpse of her less-than-healthy self via her KRZR.
Germs suck. Hope you're feeling better.

Here's one for the K1 users...
Your mobile phone has what's called a stereo Bluetooth Profile .
Essentially this means that you can wirelessly stream music from your phone to a set of headphones that also have the stereo Bluetooth Profile. Still following me? Check this out...
There's a pair of music headphones (referred to as the S9 in blog buzz and shown on flickr) that are coming to Canada this April. The actual name will be the MOTOROKR S9 Bluetooth Stereo Headphones. You can read about the features in these Engadget and ZDNET reviews. Drop us a line if you want to test them out when they arrive.

We're thrilled with the interest expressed by bloggers wanting to take part in the KRZRbloggers programme and are reviewing a variety of sites for our next phase of outreach.
If you have a blog, live in Canada and would like to be considered, please drop us a line so that we can review your site. If you're currently a KRZRblogger participant and want to nominate a friend, drop me an e-mail.
In order to be considered, you must have your own phone service with either Rogers Wireless, Bell Mobility or TELUS.

Roland has been testing out the video and camera features and has posted additional photos to the krzrbloggers flickr group.

I'm not talking about 'Becks' - check out the Bluetooth headset in his ear. See it now? Small, isn't it? Motorola calls it the MiniBlue (H9 MiniBlue for the techies out there), and it works with both the K1 and K1m (among other models). It's what Motorola calls an 'in-ear' headset (opposed to those worn over or behind the ear) and is designed to block out background noise.
Scott Robinson asked me when it'll be available in Canada, and Motorola Canada has agreed to share that it'll be released next month.
Until then, you'll have to wait for pricing. Check back for more updates.

Starting tomorrow, Wireless Number Portability (WNP) will be available across Canada.
What does this mean? For the first time, you'll have the ability to change wireless carriers within your metropolitan or local calling area and keep your existing phone number. You'll also be able to move your phone number from a wireline phone (home landline) to a wireless phone (and vice versa).
If you're thinking of switching service providers, read this industry-backed FAQ and Reference Guide and do as much research as possible because there are some caveats. You'll have to pay a transfer fee and may incur additional costs to break an existing contract. Also, Canadian phones are 'locked' to a specific service provider, so you won't be able to transfer your mobile phone (just the number).
