I just picked one of these beauties up, expecting that it would interoperate perfectly with iSync, since I had heard such good things about the Razr family playing nice with OS X. Unfortunately, its not supported.

Is this typical for a new product? I'm not big on cell phone technology and rarely have had opportunity to use iSync.

Thanks.

Yes this is typical for a new phone. Give it time, either a new version of iSync or a 3rd party plugin for iSync will come out. (I had to get a 3rd party plugin for my v3x when I got it as it wasn't supported by iSync, I think it might be now though).

Got pictures? Who's your carrier?

[Karpfish]

[Velocity211]

Motorola KRZR K1 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[bobablob]

Carrier is Verizon. This phone actually gets reception in all sorts of places I've never gotten so much as a bar at before.

[Cadaver]

Motorola Krazor?
Weird name.

[Brien]

Heh, looks sorta nice. They suck as bad as the RAZR?

Don't just assume. Check the list before you shop:

As someone else said, the other RAZRs are supported. I bet this one will be soon.

Yeah, phones that have good reception really suck. Why on earth would anyone ever want a phone that you can actually, ya know, make phone calls with.

The razr family playing nicely with isync? I have a CDMA carrier (Alltel) and so I had to get the v3c model. It has the crappiest syncing of a phone ever, they shouldn't even list it on the page it's so bad.

At least file transfers work with the alltel model.

My RAZR gets signals in places that there AREN'T signals-at least for most other people. And it syncs fine with iSync for most things-though it's pretty picky about what it will and won't sync through that app. However, if you read this forum carefully, you'll see that lots of people have successfully transferred almost every kind of file to their RAZRs through Bluetooth. Some carriers (specifically Verizon) have a history of goobering up the phone's software so some functions don't work, like BT file transfers, but that seems to be something that's in the past now...

I would also point out that I discovered the RAZR worked with iSync by plugging it in-just like the V180 I replaced with it. If it's a seriously needed function, NEVER buy something without KNOWING that it's properly supported for what you want to do.

V3 for me.

I actually have two of them, they both are great talkers and great syncers.

KRZR should be a cool phone. I'd like to see some real-life® photos, thanks!

I threw together a fix for isync and KRZR K1m since I had a 150 contacts I did not want to type in

n the Finder, control-click on the iSync application and choose Show Package Contents.

Drill down to the following:
Contents -> Plugins -> ApplePhoneConduit.syncdevice -> Contents -> Plugins -> PhoneModelsSync.phoneplugin -> Contents -> Resources.

In that folder, open MetaClasses.plist in text edit or pico(make a backup first!)

add the following code. save and reopen isync.

Is the OS the same horrible on as the RAZR?

[SLiMeX]

I came out of the ice age, and got my first cell phone three weeks ago - a Motorola SLVR L7. I love it, but I want a RIZR when they come out. I hope they chose Cingular as the carrier.

[bobablob]

The OS on the Krazr is the same as the RAZR as far as I can tell. And its not the best. But overall, this phone is the best cell phone I've ever owned and I wholeheartedly recommend one to anyone interested. I pull in a reception everywhere with Verizon, even in places I could not previously. I even get a signal in the subway (Chicago). Battery life is solid too.

Unfortunately, I cannot get this fix to work. I have added the text into the appropriate file, right above the last /plist....but still no go once I save and run iSync. Thoughts? Thanks.

[bobablob]

On the plus side, standard Bluetooth features work just fine, which I guess makes sense I can transfer files, etcetera from the Krazr to my desktop. Still would like to get iSync up and running, but right now this is the best cell Phone I've ever used and I guess I can be patient.

[IceEnclosure]

dude, let's see some pics, I asked ya 5 days ago!

pics of the phone and pics taken with the phone would make me happy.

[bobablob]

I'll put up some pics later today
