Comparison of Motorola Krzr K1 and K1m (CDMA vs GPRS GSM)

I will try to post pictures later, but both devices appear similar on the front. The K1m (CDMA) has 3 touch sensitive buttons on the face to play music and change tracks, while the K1 (GSM) model has an green LED/oLED indicator for charging that turns off as well as a bluetooth indicator (need to confirm). I find the indicators on the K1 version more useful telling me when the unit is fully charged. Both units use different batteries.

The K1 has a 2mp camera, while the K1M has a 1.3mp. Sound quality is quite good on either, with nice full range sound without the harshness that hurts your ear often experienced with iPaq or HTC devices.

Battery life on the K1m has been good. It will easily last me a day no problem from 9am to 1am. I normally have 1 bar left. I talk a lot of off peak during commutes and driving, and can clear over 3000+ minutes a month.

While in Tahoe, I had the extended battery in the K1m. This extended battery comes with a battery cover that makes it quite thick. After some investigation, it appears that the Moto Q and the K1M use the same extended battery. I swapped the batteries between the two with no problem, and they are indeed the same identical unit.
