The krave or dare were never meant to compete with the AT&T Iphone, the Iphone is a smart phone while the dare and krave are regular cell phones with this said its like comparing apples to oranges. Wait for the Blackberry Storm then make your decision.

wow putting the moto KRAVE even in the same category as the Dare or even the voyager is huge mistake. I've had a chance to use and play with the Moto Touchscreen, it's a complete disaster. It is not accurate and there is a huge delay on every press, so unless you type as slow as most grandma's then this phone is not for you. Plus the silly Plastic flip part of the phone gets in the way when you switch to QWERTY mode. Even just attempting to dial a number to make a call is horrendous. The camera is nothing special, but it lacks some camera features you'd expect on a phone like this. The Idea to be able to use the touch screen while the plastic cover is closed is a good idea, however Motorola Dropped the Ball on this and only allows the use of 4 features that most customer don't want/use anyway (Nav, Vcast Mobile TV, Vcast music, and My pics). Also the menu's there is a huge delay from press to response. The contact list is horrible to navigate in order to go directly to contacts startign with a specific letter, it takes 3 presses. The UI for the phone is Bad, i couldn't find a way to delete just 1 message in the draft section the only option was to delete all?... I find it interesting that they include the Warranty Phone number in the Contact list as default, expect to be calling them a lot. while playing with the phone for about 3 hours of the course of a few days the phone locked up at least 5 times. Well that is enough rating for now, i will not be recommending this phone to anyone, and I hope it doesn't get compared to the Dare or voyager, it need to be compared to the glyde.

that motorola sucks!!! putting a qwerty keyboard on it was completely useless. the stupid plastic part gets in the way. the touch screen is completely off!. if you press 3 your more than likely to press the 1 instead!! that phone all together is a useless piece of crap and verizon should come out at least with a software upgrade to!

i realy like the idea of the krave i would have just changed 2 things about it. 1- make it so you can change the 4 functions you can use when the phone is closed. 2- make it so you can also use the qwerty keyboard for texting when it is closed cause yes that flip does get in the way and make it not imposable but very uncomfortable to text.

like any new phone, it needs an update. the sluggishness can be fixed with a software patch. even great phones like the voyager needed some updating to make it better... and its sooo much better now than when it first came out. give it time. you always pay a price for being an early adopter, and one part of that price is on the software side.
