Krave puts fun at your fingertips with the latest entertainment and phone features from Verizon Wireless, many of which are accessible with one touch, even when the phone is closed. Krave supports all of the hottest multimedia services from Verizon Wireless, including V CAST Mobile TV, V CAST Video, V CAST Music with Rhapsody and VZ Navigator(SM).

Putting the Flip on Touch

Motorola Krave combines the familiarity of a flip design with the excitement of touch and haptic feedback. Without opening the phone, the clear flip provides customers with one-touch access to popular features and services -- such as watching V CAST Mobile TV, accessing photos, playing music and viewing incoming messages. The flip design also makes it easy to place clear and reliable phone calls while preventing touch-screen wear, and a side lock key prevents accidental usage.

"Motorola Krave is uncompromising. It delivers high-quality multimedia experiences while remaining true to the way consumers expect a phone to work and feel," said Ken Hallman, vice president, Motorola Mobile Devices. "The clear, touch-enabled flip over the large, high-resolution touch-screen is nothing like you've seen and yet it's totally intuitive."

With Motorola Krave, customers can satisfy all of their cravings for the best in Verizon Wireless multimedia entertainment services, including:

The dedicated camera key on Motorola Krave provides quick access to a touch-controlled 2.0 megapixel camera. The accelerometer detects the movement when the phone rotates and changes the display, making it easy to catch landscape and portrait shots, as well as capture and view video.

Customers can watch clips from popular video-sharing sites directly from the phone's HTML browser; and they can enjoy videos and pictures directly from MMS messages, without downloading them first to the phone. Texting and e-mailing is simplified with its virtual landscape QWERTY keypad with haptic feedback, conveniently-sized buttons and accelerometer.
