The Motorola Krave handset 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.

Motorola ZN4 Krave handset 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 VCAST 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.
