Krave vs. Storm
I was thinking about going back to a flip and the Krave looks pretty neat, but the Storm sounds like it's gonna be THE daddy of phones.
Any of the experts here have some pros and cons on these two phones?

have not touched the krave, but unless motorola did something with the screen that no one knows about, the storm will blow it away (no pun intended)
...
i would say cost is the most important aspect. if you are willing to shell out the dough for the storm, it will be an exceptional device to have. easy to use keyboard, full html browser, touch navigation, latest and greatest data speeds and software.
the major thing to keep in mind is blackberry's are designed for business purposes. they are great to have for average user purposes, but it might be a waste of money at around $400 for this phone if you arent going to use it for its full capability. hands on will be important for the decision on this one i think. i'm deffinetly one to purchase the latest and greatest even though i may not need it.

i feel it will be. its sharp, looks badass. will really catch attention and people will want them. i think that would qualify. but who knows. still gonna sell the crap out of it.
...
i just did the training for the krave, and it says the flip is touch sensitive, so u can do things with it closed. that might change the game a little, but def looks like a nice phone after a closer look. and an accelerometer. looks impressive, ill have to compare the two
...
my intent was not to compare the two phones as if they cover the same aspects of the network, but more so what to expect from them. anyone with half a brain can figure out that they do completely different things
...
One is a phone. One is a pda. There is no comparing the two.
blackberry devices all require data plans, no if and or but.
to be honest, if you're asking this question, you probably are better off with the motorola as you only seem to be interested in touchscreen and basic phone features, not a pda/smartphone set of features.

I concur. Two completely different devices.

krave
pro: it is a motorola...good sound/signal quality
Con: it is a motorola.. poor build quality and software issues galore
Storm
Pro: badass! quality on blackberry as well as signal/battery life/ features/ customization
Only con I can think about is a required data package

The Krave is garbage. G-A-R-B-A-G-E.
I found myself wishing I had a spork to stab myself in the eyes with when I tried to use the crave. It makes me want to say f--- you right back to Motorola. 👿

Sure. It has the 2 worst issues a touch screen phone can have: HORRIBLE accuracy and its laggy.
...
love the spork! can it be one of those spork combo kits thats shrink wrapped with a napkin and some salt/pepper packets?
...
That spork combo has got to be one of the all time greatest convenience item ever created.
...
lol...nice.
Hey did you get twitterberry .8 to work? only .6 would work on my phone.

well, quite frankly, I dont wanna live in a world where I have to eat my deliscious KFC without a spork!

I hate Motorola.
The Storm is going to be awesome anyways though, it's a Blackberry. 🤤
But I don't care for touch screens much, either.
Stick with LG! 😛

I was ready to take mine back after the first day. The touch and glide, menu navigation, web browser and overall feel are definitely an adjustment which is easy to either love or hate. Engadget says "We had a feeling we'd get a mixed bag of reviews as soon as we first saw the Motorola Krave ZN4".
And if you aren't a techie, HoFoer or whatever - forget it and take it back. My wife asked me to borrow my phone today to call the landscaper, and I swear she was ready to hurl it. "Just give me a -...

Maybe I should have been more specific about things. I do use my phone for business, about 4,000 min./month. I talk, text and browse the web with my vx9400. One of the reasons I got the phone was for the mobile tv but there have been delays and it's not in my home market yet.
I am leaning towards going to a blackberry/PDA device as I travel a lot and need to communicate and manage my schedule on the go. I guess I'm a bit of a late adapter to new technology and was considering if I really want to go more hi-tech or not. I wanted to get an idea of what the Krave could do but I understand that the Storm is a different ballgame.

The Krave is not for business if you are comparing it with the Storm which we hope is. I plan on having BOTH, as an ESN swap will drop the VCast and TV, and add the Data plan for about the same cost.
The Krave is a "love it or hate it" phone depending on how much patience you have. The lag and misfires are largely based on woefully inadequate documentation, so if you don't know that the sensitivity of the touch pad varies from left to right it can be maddening for example.
I love the Krave as a personal phone with tons of media features, great video playback and easy editing. I think it is the best touch handset except for the lack of speed dialing, which has a patch about ready to fix.
Still, I won't be checking my business emai...
