The Motorola Krave ZN4 on Verizon has a sexy clam shell design and has some innovation touch screen technology incorporated into the phone. But with competitors like the BlackBerry Storm, iPhone, T-Mobile G1, Samsung Instinct and with the LG Dare being its direct competitor it really does have to come up to scratch to be in the running within the lucrative smartphone market.

Although the design in the Motorola Krave ZN4 is extremely slick it doesn’t really hold its own with its software that seems almost dated compared to the applications you would find on the iPhone or BlackBerry.

The Krave has been based on the Motorola Ming which was hugely popular in Asia but the Krave ZN4 has a unique design with the flip, the flip cover is which appears to be clear actually is made by almost invisible wire mesh that allows you to use the touch screen through the cover. However this can cause problems if you do not lock the phone by accidently triggering apps.

The biggest attraction for the Motorola Krave would have to be the V Cast Mobile TV which is powered by Qualcomm’s FLO TC, you can watch ten channels of TV on the Krave with partners like Nickelodeon, ESPN and Comedy Central.
