Motorola reinvents its popular MOTOROKR lineup with the technologically advanced ROKR E8 cell phone/digital audio player. It features a morphing keypad that only shows the relevant keys in various modes, a wide variety of music file format compatibility, and wireless Bluetooth stereo music streaming. And it includes new Motorola design innovations, including ModeShift technology for moving from phone to music mode with the touch of a single button and the FastScroll navigation wheel for quickly accessing both your music and contact libraries. This phone also features an internal 2 GB memory, MicroSD memory expansion for up to 4 GB of additional memory, 2.0-megapixel camera/camcorder, and an airplane mode that allows you to play uninterrupted music while flying or when you don't want to be interrupted by incoming calls.

The ROKR E8 provides you the freedom to access music from a wide variety of sources, whether it's music you've purchased from online stores or from subscription services. It's compatible with Windows Media Player 11, and it access to more than 200 online music stores and simple drag-and-drop organizing of songs, artists, albums and playlists. The phone also includes a built-in FM radio (optional 3.5mm headphones must be plugged in) and a Song ID feature that recognizes and displays tune information (not available in all areas; additional charges may apply).
In music mode, the ROKR E8 delivers great sound through a three-dimensional stereo feature that enhances two-channel audio and an on-board equalizer. Share music with friends over the built-in speaker, use a favorite set of standard stereo wired headphones using the 3.5 mm headset jack. This phone also provides Bluetooth version 2.0 wireless connectivity with the A2DP Bluetooth profile, enabling you to stream your music to a pair of compatible Bluetooth stereo headphones or speaker dock.

The ROKR E8 also marks the debut of Motorola's new FastScroll navigation wheel, a variable-speed touch control that lets you easily scroll through all of the content stored on the device. With a gentle slide of the thumb, the wheel quickly scrolls through your music (music mode), contacts (phone mode), calendar (phone mode), or multimedia (imaging mode) content.
The ROKR E8 follows the RAZR2 in offering Motorola's CrystalTalk technology, an innovative feature that automatically accounts for background noise during a call and adjusts the audio quality based on ambient noise conditions to provide the optimal conversational experience. CrystalTalk also reduces the volume of the background noise picked up by the microphone during a call, making it possible to be more easily heard over the phone while in a noisy environment.
The 2-megapixel camera includes an 8x digital zoom and it provides four resolution choices (from 320 x 240 to 1600 x 1200 pixels). It also features a multi-shot mode, self-timer, free memory space indicator, color effects, and multiple shutter sounds (including silent). The phone also includes an impressive video camcorder, providing up to QCIF resolution (176 x 144 pixels) at 15 fps (frames per second. You can record video for as long as you have available space on your MicroSD memory card.
Other features include:

I like this phone both as a phone and a music player. It holds a lot of songs, pics, videos, etc. The camera takes wonderful pictures. The only gripe I have is that it definitely lags. Sometimes, if my music is playing and I get a call, it takes awhile before it “answers” because of the lag. What’s cool, though, is that you don’t need an adapter for mp3 speakers. They plug right in.

I bought this phone more than a month ago and I am very happy.

The battery is very reliable. I only charged it three or for times since I got it.
The lock is on the side which is another smart option, because it cannot get activated in my purse by accident.
The way the buttons react is a bit different, but once you get used to its rhythm, it is fine.
I like the fact that only the active buttons are lit and the fact that if you received a missed call it gives you a sort of a soft bing until you see it, so there is no way you really miss your missed calls
It has Tetris game, which is great!
The earpieces are very comfortable for the ears and you can use them with your laptop, too.Finally!
The phone calls are of good quality, too. A really nice phone!

This phone is an amazing piece of electronics and would get a five-star rating if it didn’t have a few quirks.
Pros
*can support additional memory up to (and maybe beyond) a 16GB micro sd card
*with additional memory, this can make a great substitute for an mp3 player
*takes ok pictures for a cell phone
*can listen to music without headphones
*takes a standard mini headphone jack so you can use your regular noise-canceling headphones
*quad-band so it can be used literally anywhere in the world just by inserting a local SIM card
*good battery life
*excellent sound clarity, even on speaker phone
Cons (the first two are the biggest in my opinion)
*makes a slight chirping noise when the ‘buttons’ are pressed
*hard to get rid of the notification ‘ding’ after every call or text
*lack of a cover makes it easy to butt-dial if you forget to flip the switch to turn off the keys
*accessories are hard to find (custom cases, etc)
*not 3G capable (not an issue for me but might be for you)
*can be slow to load playlists if you have a lot of music on the phone

It has a very slick look, different from other phones that I’ve had. (about 5 different ones, Motorolas, Samsungs, and a Blackberry). The only flaw is the fact that the programs were not Mac compatible, but after looking online, you can find ways around. It just won’t include all the programs (i.e profiles, themes) that you can upload on to your phone. Definitely good for tech savvy people.

I bought the international version to be used in another country and all I had to do was to insert the SIM card to get it to work perfectly. I hhaven’t had any problems at all with it. Highly recommend it.

It works really well except for the fact that you can’t just scroll from one text to another. You have to open the text , go out to the inbox, and then open another one. Freezes for about 3 seconds when you’re doing somethign and then someone texts or call you. 4/5

Pros:
- Excellent build quality, much better than Nokia’s and Sony Ericsson’s plastic toys.
- Really good voice transmission, I’m able to talk in noisy environments, and the phone filters the interference.
- Excellent MP3 quality, much better than previosuly used Nokia 5310 and Sony Ericsson W890.
- Standard slots and connections: MicroSD card, micro USB connection, 3.5 headphone jack.
Cons:
- The menus are not great when comparing to both Nokia and SE. They’re not as intuitive as the others. However, they’re not slow, and I’ve not run into any bug yet.
- The camera is mediocre, but this isn’t a cameraphone. If you need that, you should buy a Moto ZN5.
Overall, I think it’s a great purchase for someone who looks for a phone with a great call quality and an excellent music player.

The cellphone works great, its slick and music sounds awesome and with built in 2 Gb what more could you ask for?
Oh i know! service, they communicate with you and keep in touch so that you don’t feel lost.
I definitely recommend this product.
