I've always been a "simple phone" guy: every mobile phone I've ever owned has had no bells or whistles. Even my latest phone -- bought about two years ago -- is the bottom-of-the-line Samsung that was available at the time. No photo or video capability, no MP3 player, not even polyphonic ringtones!

I've become curious about how you folks with the fancy mobile phones live, so when the call went out for bloggers who wanted to try out the Motorola KRZR (pronounced "Crazer") phone for free, I answered on a lark. The phone arrived about an hour ago, and I present a couple of pictures of the unboxing below.

Not content to send the phone in a regular box, the KRZR came in this secret-agent-worthy aluminum mini-briefcase:

Bond. James Bond.

And here's what I saw when I first cracked it open. I half-expected "Q" from the James Bond movies to start lecturing me about the phone's features ("Pay attention, double-0-accordion..."). I hope it comes with a grappling hook or a flamethrower!

I'm feeling major techno-lust just looking at this thing.

My gentlemen's agreement lets me keep the phone and doesn't even require me to blog about it. However, the unboxing experience was just too cool for me not to post any pictures.

More reports later, once I get this baby charged up and activated!
