The Motorola KRZR (pronounced crazer), known as the “Canary” before its release, is a phone by Motorola and is one of the most recent phones in the ‘4LTR’ line.
As a clamshell/flip phone modeled after the RAZR, the Motorola KRZR is longer but narrower. The phone includes stylized features such as a glossy glass finish. Both models of the KRZR offer a microSD slot and an MP3 player, AAC, AAC+ enhanced music player. The main difference between the two is that the K1m (CDMA version) sports touch music controls on the flip cover, a 1.3 megapixel camera, supports a MicroSD card up to 1 GB, but does not have stereo Bluetooth headphone (A2DP) capabilities. Whereas, the K1 (GSM version) doesn’t have the touch music controls, but has a 2.0 megapixel camera, supports a MicroSD card up to 2 GB, and is A2DP capable. The K1 uses the motosync system to synchronize contacts and the calendar with the touch of a button. It also uses the Push-To-View system for sharing of images in real-time.
George Sweigert, an amateur radio operator and inventor from Cleveland, Ohio, is largely recognized as the father of the cordless phone. He submitted a patent application in 1966 for a “full duplex wireless communications apparatus.” The US Patent and Trademark Office awarded him a patent in June of 1969 , Sweigert, a radio operator in World War II stationed at the South Pacific Islands of Guadalcanal and Bouganville, developed the full duplex-concept for untrained personnel, to improve battlefield communications for senior commanders. He was also licensed as W8ZIS and N9LC in the amateur radio service. He also held a First Class Radiotelephone Operator’s Permit issued by the Federal Communications Commission.
In the 1980s, a number of manufacturers, including Sony, introduced cordless phones for the consumer market. Typically, they used a base station that was connected to a telephone line and a handset with a microphone, speaker, keypad, and telescoping antenna. The handset contained a rechargeable battery, typically NiCad; the base unit was powered by household current, typically via a wall wart. The base included a charging cradle, which was generally a form of trickle charger, on which the handset rested when not in use.
Some cordless telephones now utilize two rechargeable AA or AAA batteries in place of the more expensive traditional proprietary telephone batteries.
