Extremely slow interface

Towards the end of my review period with the K1, using the handset had become tedious and a hassle. The operating system is very slow and riddled with lag, especially when messaging. A lot of the time I wouldn’t send messages, instead opting to call – it was quicker than spending 5 minutes typing a short SMS which should only take a matter of seconds.

Hinge doesn’t ‘lock’ into place

I like a clam shell handset which feels like it’s locked into place when opened and shut. The K1 doesn’t have that familiar “clicked in” feeling, and I found when using the K1 if my fingers were putting the slightest amount of force onto the top part of the handset the display would flick shut.

The good news is that the K1’s display does not come open when shut – the magnet involved in this operation is very strong.
