The Krave™ has an absolutely great display - it's large, bright and sharp. Sound quality is first rate and the phone feels very solid. I was so hoping that Motorola had finally gotten their act together and had created a great phone - but.....  I bought one on the premiere day and eventually returned it after 3 weeks once I realized that several things you take for granted on cell phones were missing - it's too bad that they left out some very fundamental things that you often take for granted.  I think that almost all things that are missing could be fixed with a good software update. Missing: No speed dial capability, where you press and hold a single digit you previously assigned to dial a frequently dialed contact.  It takes about 6 presses of keys to make a call even to frequently dialed numbers.  No way to save an incoming call as a contact.  No way to delete the entire list of incoming calls or outgoing calls - must be deleted one at a time!  I also found that the touch screen took a lot of getting used to - I prefer a real keyboard with tactile contacts if you are doing a lot of texting.  The Krave qwerty "virtual" keyboard is so small, it is very easy to touch the wrong characters. This also happens with other touch functions, such as accidentally selecting a contact before or after the one you thought you were pressing.  The phone works very well once you select a contact and make the call.  Some of the ringtones supplied with the phone are pretty cool sounding. I just found it too frustrating to keep between the complexity to initiate a call, the touch screen response, and the missing “standard” features you expect on cell phones. BTW, as of today, Verizon has no software updates available for this phone.
