Motorola ROKR E8 Review
Phone rating: 
In a nutshell: The Motorola ROKR E8 is a first-class music phone
with a whopping 2GB of memory built in, and support for an additional
4GB memory card. It's a sleek, minimalist phone with a context-sensitive
touchscreen that works very well. Other features include an FM radio,
2 megapixel camera, web browser, quadband and an excellent battery life.
Highly recommended!
Review: August 2008. Updated April 2009.
The ROKR series is Motorola's answer to Sony Ericsson's Walkman range, and
is intended primarily as a music phone. Like the Samsung
Soul and the LG Venus, the E8 features virtual
touch-sensitive buttons, and menus that adapt to the function that you are currently
using: phone, music player or imaging mode. This gives the phone a sleek minimalist
appearance that definitely lends an edge when it comes to looks. The use of
a haptic (i.e. vibration) touchscreen gives positive feedback to the on-screen
menus, and makes the phone easy to use. Combining this with the FastScroll navigation
wheel lets you use the music player functions with ease.
The phone is slim too, and weighs in at 106g, which is slightly heavier than
average, but gives the phone a bit more "body", making it sit nicely
in the hand.
The E8 majors in music, so lets take a look at what it can do. As we've already
commented, the music player is very easy to use, with the combination of context-sensitive
touchscreen controls and the FastScroll navigation wheel. You can easily create
playlists on the go, whilst listening to music, and organising your music and
playlists is very easy with a drag-and-drop user interface. The phone is compatible
with Windows Media Player 11, and Motorola have provided access to over 200
online music stores if you want to download music directly to your phone. An
FM radio is also built into the phone. Audio quality is good and the music player
supports all the common digital formats. Naturally, the E8 supports stereo Bluetooth
headsets, and the use of a standard 3.5mm headphone jack means that you can
connect your own headphones.
But perhaps the most exceptional feature of the E8 is its enormous memory capacity
- up to 6 GB. The inbuilt memory is huge, at 2 Gbytes, and you can add a 4 Gbyte
memory card if your music collection is big enough! This will give you enough
storage for 1,500 MP3 tracks (more if compressed.) Motorola seem to have really
over-delivered on memory, and we very much welcome this. Compare the 2GB of
onboard memory with the pathetic 12 Mbytes of the Sony
Ericsson W580i, or the paltry 30 Mbytes of the Nokia
5310 XpressMusic.
The ROKR E8 certainly delivers when it comes to music. It also includes most
other essential features: a 2 megapixel camera with zoom but no flash, a video
camera, a web browser, and email. The camera isn't brilliant, but remember that
this is intended as a music phone. The E9 seems to work well as a phone too,
with good reception and clear call quality. Motorola's CrystalTalk™ technology
helps to improve voice clarity by reducing background noise. We'd also like
to point out that the battery life is excellent too, despite the slimness of
the phone.
We weren't expecting to be blown away by the ROKR E8, but in fact we're very
impressed. Motorola have delivered a mid-range music phone that can easily hold
its own against mid-range phones from the other manufacturers. It comes with
exceptional storage capacity and delivers an innovative new user interface without
any obvious glitches. Compared with similarly priced offerings from Sony Ericsson
(W580i) and Nokia (5310
XpressMusic) we think that the ROKR E8 is the clear winner. Highly recommended!
Features of the Motorola ROKR E8 include:
- 2 megabyte camera with 8x digital zoom
- Video camera (176 x 144 pixels, 15 frames per second) with 4x digital zoom
and video editor
- Display: 262K TFT, 240 x 320 pixels (2.0 inches)
- Music player (supports MIDI, MP3, AAC, AAC+, Enhanced AAC+, WMA, WAV, AMR-NB
and Real Audio (RA) v10 formats)
- FM Radio
- Messaging: MMS, IM, SMS, Email
- Wallpaper, screensaver, customisable ringtones
- Voice dialling with user independent voice recognition
- Handsfree speakerphone
- Memory: 2 Gbytes plus memory card (up to 4 Gbytes)
- Connectivity: USB 2.0, Bluetooth, 3.5mm headphone jack
- Internet: GPRS Class 12, EDGE
Class 12, HTML web browser
- Quadband
- Size: 115 x 53 x 10.6 mm
- Weight: 106g
- Talktime: 360 minutes
- Battery standby: 300 hours

I've had this phone for three/four years now and it's lasted me through
a lot, orange juice and water spillages, dropped it in the toilet -
on the concrete floor numerous times. Only these last few months has
it started to play up, delete messages and warp incoming messages -
the speaker is broke so I'm on the look out for a phone as I think it's
had it day. My friend had a motorola too and her's lasted her a while,
I think they are pretty longlasting phones - well mine has been. The
prediciting messaging, it predicts your words for you based on those
you've used - it has a memory for this, which is excellent, combined
with the calendar reminder system, excellent storage capacity and room
for up to 200 songs and more - makes for an egggcellent phone

I love my phone, because i modded it: Modding the phone allows you to
accelerate the processor to 500mhtz, give you custom programs, and give
you virtually any feel you like to the interface: my top two are the
blackberry style with a sidebar, and the mac/os feel... My suggestion
for anyone carrying the phone is to do this: Google "ROKR E8 Superguide"
available at modmymoto.com THEN MOD your phone with a super package
such as "Nik_Stallion_Pro++ By Nikhil Dhayatkar a.k.a Nikhil007" available
at mmus.us If you put in the 3/4 hours of effort in following the tedious
step by step work. You will turn your phone from 1 star to an easy 5
star phone.

I hate this phone. Have had it for a year and a half and the charger
port won't work. There are no firmware or software updates for it, though
there should be because the phone is slow as hell. Super glichy too,
sometimes the screen won't dim even if I put the hold switch on, so
if I don't restart the phone the screen will stay on and the battery
will die within a few hours. Save yourself the hatred and stress and
get a better, less gimicky phone.

Value for money if you're not paying more than 15 quid a month for a
good looking contract. Camera isn't up to mark, keypad feels frozen
when it's cold outside, battery will last on average 4 days. The worst
thing is that it's surprsingly slow and unresponsive. However, it's
stylish, easy to hold and has some handy features. Don't buy if you're
going to end up paying more than 15 quid a month.

I bought this phone earlier this year, and despite some good features,
I am very disappointed with it and want rid of it. The best thing for
me about the phone is the look, very nice sexy design. But there are
too many problems, it can be very sluggish sometimes, very annoying
when you're are simply trying to make a phone call. The predicitive
text mode is extremely bad, fails to pick up the common word for a key
combination. The camera is also poor, although viewing pictures is quite
good as the zoom function is nice. Also the scroll wheel is useless
and I dont even use it. I thought Motorola might have as last made a
decent phone, I was wrong.

This phone rocks... can't fault it in anyway. 100% like no other i've
ever used. Every other phone out there looks like the next phone and
does nothing special... they're all either Iphone copycats, Blackberry
Copycats and then the rest which are all the standard flips, candybars,
sliders with a tweak here and there to try and diffrentiate etc. This
Morphing tech on the otherhand is just ingenious from Motorola. Now
i gotta say the camera is pants when pics are taken in the dark and
the the video ain't any better. However in good lighting it is definitely
good enough no matter what anyone say's. It gets the job done... check
the reviews with picture samples and judge for yourself. Now i don't
mean reviews by people who never show any pic samples and just expect
u to take their negative conclusions for granted. Always look at the
pic samples if available... definitely not the best but they are good
enough for anything u want (in good lighting). The video is not great
but is also very acceptable. Music rocks... no need to waste time here...
it's banging. Mine even comes with the external speakers u can connect
to the phone and the sound output is unbelieveable (Orange UK include
this in the package...at least when I got it in summer 2008) Texting
on the phone is a breeze... fast and responsive. Don't know how to say
it but everything just works flawlessly. My phone has been flashed with
a non carrier software so it's Original Motorola software as the phone
was meant to be. I know most moans come from those on T-Mobile in the
US but hey... tough luck and blame it on ur carrier for adding all their
B.S in-house software like Orange do in the UK.Go to www.mmus.us and
download the proper software and tools for flashing your phone. U can
then add new themes/Skins, apps, MPKG installer etc... Anyways what
can I say... the E8 Rokr's!

on the headphone jack. It is prone to coming of and the paint has started

If you're not a fan of having just one device to amalgamate the functions
of a cellphone and walkman, and a Linux-based platform, then DON'T buy
this. I was really happy while ordering it as it seemed like the perfect
phone for me; I'm a minimalist. I don't believe in doing too many things
with one device (there's a UNIX philosophy "do one thing and do it well"),
so not having WiFi or 3G makes no difference. After all, I don't need
to be online 24/7 as I'd rather spend most of the hours in reality.
With all that said, however, the software stack is horrible with regards
to performance. Functionality-wise, it falls just above average. Every
now and then you'll be greeted with the most annoying of glitches. I've
read reviews regarding the slow UI before the purchase, but I thought
it was just the typical reaction from commoners used to Nokia handsets.
My, was I wrong. Once, I toggled the lock button and plugged in the
USB. After I was done, unplugged it, I noticed that it was no longer
locked while the button was still in the lock position. I had to restart
the phone for locking to work again. Another time, the UI just gave
up while I was scrolling and the scroller jammed as well. Again, I had
to switch it off and on. Not the least annoying, but it looks like the
software gets confused regularly as to whether a button has been pressed.
I say that because the top-right menu button and the "#" key are the
slowest to respond. Now, these may all be one-time incidents or a fault
with just my set, but from other reviews I can clearly see that there's
nothing beautiful about the UI unless you MOD it. I will keep this phone
for the following reasons: 1) Less bulk; no more carrying of a music
player. 2) Linux-based platform; I can mod it when I want. 3) Sleek
design; unlike Sony's and Motorola's. 4) The scroller is unique; cooler
than the ZN5's. Because of the above 4 points, I can live with the sub-par
UI performance. Cosmetically, though, the ROKR E8 from Motorola beats
almost all other phone in its category. I even gave a pass on the ZN5
because the E8 doesn't as much like an Apple-inspired device. While
more expensive, if you're not like me and don't bother about those plus
points but want a phone with a similar profile: Sony Ericsson's G900

Should you buy the Rokr E8? Yes. I have been looking for a music phone
for a while and there are countless to choose from. I purchased the
Rokr form the Motorola online store as I could not find any store, street
or online which sold it sim free. It arrived in about 4 days and ever
since then it has been impressing the hell out of me. The sound quality
with headphones is amazing. Truly special. The Haptic Keypad is lovely
to use and the phone is chock full of customisable functions and features.
Call quality is excellent. Clear and crisp. The music player is very
easy to use and the camera actually takes decent snaps and video too.
It's miles better than my old phone and I'm getting jealous glances
from everyone who sees me with it. The Haptic keypad freaks everyone
out and I've had many enquiries as to where to get the Rokr from. It
seems to be a real rarity this handset,..no one seems to own one. I
can't think why? If you are after a solid phone which oozes class, looks
like something from Blade Runner and plays music with brilliantly, look
no further. Highly recommended.

I've had this phone for a short while now and i've found using the ROKR
E8 an uncomfortable experience. Despite all of the good features such
as 2gb internal memory and a decent camera, I feel the phone has been
let down by its size. When holding the phone, unless you have large
hands and fingers, after a while it becomes uncomfortable to use as
you have to keep stretching your fingers across the buttons. Although
if people do not find this as a problem then I would recommend buying
it because its a very stylish phone with some good features and even
though some people say the screen is too small, I think that it would
suffice in the long term even though the buttons may get on your nerves

Hi all, Am a neutral reviewer!!! I was planning to buy a mobile with
good music and my selection came down to 2 mobiles, they were nokia5610
and MOTO ROKR E8. And finally bought MOTO ROKR E8, And people now i
say "AM TRULY SATISFIED". Those features that impressed me: 1) First
of all the MUSIC, I ll say that the term crystal clarity can be defined
hereafter by the music of ROKR E8 (In headphones). But, the volume is
only normal in open speakers. 2) Before buying the mobile i was too
much worried about the screen size, but now i dont feel the restraints
of a small screen. When an good quality video is converted to proper
resolution (3gp) the clarity overcomes the small screen size. Few videos
are better in my mobile than telecasted by my local TV channel (LOL
:P). Am oversatisfied with the screen quality. 3) Next the, KEYPAD.
Its brilliant, on pressing the keys it gives a vibration which causes
the senasation of pressing a real key. If u switch off the mobile and
then press u can feel it, it ll be so hard, perhaps u ll smile in astonishment.
:) And with the scroll i can easily move from song number 1 to some
70 or 80 with ease (and withiin secs). 4) 2GB MEMORY. Its memory is
sufficient to store a lot of songs and even films (good quality compressed
takes about 300mb). And it is expandable upto 4GB.(But i haven't :P,
2 gb is sufficient for me now) 5) In few websites processor speed is
said to be 500mhz+. 6) Camera: Good. Thanks MOTOROLA. Concluding: MOTO
ROKR E8 = IMBA MOBILE. :P

transfer(PC to phone) that I have ever used. Plugged in my Sienheissers
listened to the Dropkick Murphys at full holler with NO distortion whatsoever.
Ok it only has a smallish screen and doesn't vibrate and ring similtaneously,
but is it really a big deal? And who cares that the camera is only 2
meg? I'm not a happy slapper or a chav, so a camera on a phone is irrelevant
to me.

A friend of mine has this phone, for which i had the pleasure of using.
It is SUPERB! The sound quality is amazing, the build quality is amazing,
and the call quality and reception are top notch......all the things
that all my Sony Ericssons have been absolutely lousy at. What a welcome
change. Moto here i come. In fact i'm buying it next Thursday.

If you want you phone to make a statement, Get a motorola ROKR p.s.
yea every phones have drawbacks and this one as well for e.g. no 3G
and flash lite, but otherwise it is a supermodel when it comes to phones;)

Screen is a little small but managable. Not entirely sure about the
haptics technology? Don't seem to be able to turn it off! Any pointers?
Overall i am very happy with this upgrade although i do feel motorola
should have stepped it up a gear or two. 3G for faster web browsing
would have been nice but then i am nit picking. Menus tend to drag a
little but that has been the moto way ever since i started using the
original rzr. If you don't want too many toys with the posibility for
things to keep going wrong then get this phone. I had the Iphone and
sent it back then had the Samsung tocco. Yeah sent that back too.. These
phones try to do too much and just can't cope. Back to trusty moto.
Camera has no flash but then if ya want good pics get a dedicated camera
for less than £100. Music player is fairly straight forward when paired
with media player 11. Just drag and drop. On board is 2GB and you can
add 4GB card so plenty of memory. Enough for 3000 songs or more if compressed
at the correct rate. A cool feature is the talking phone. A stephen
hawking sound alike will read you your texts if you want. The scroll
wheel is very easy to use. Overall i am very happy with this upgrade
and hats off to moto for another solidly built mobile.

nokia 5310 is cheaper, and better smaller, classic nokia interface with
excellent music player and sound quality, also has a 3.5 mil jack on
the top and a decent sized screen with a higher resolution and more
colours, dedicated music buttons that function in all menus case rested?
oh and eduardo, good play there, good play

Had one of these for a few days now and I am loving it. Tried a V8 earlier
this year but gave up on it due to the pathetic battery life and memory.
This phone solves both those problems and some. Menu is the best I have
seen on any Motorola although can be a bit slow, how on earth do the
"keys" feel like they move when clearly they dont? Touch keypad that
you actually have to press is amazing and works perfectly once you get
used to it. This is essentially a pretty basic phone that happens to
do the basics brilliantly. Call quality is outstanding and texting is
a breeze. It looks great, has enough features to keep me happy and feels
built to last. I would not hesitate to recommend this phone for someone
who does not need all the bells and whistles of say, a Nokia N series,i.e.
phones which constantly freeze and crash!

I was using an advance version for a few days - it had a few bugs but
worked well enough to test. The phone part is great, clear sound & a
strong signal. Easy to navigate phone book etc. The camera is mediocre,
not bad but at 2mp it's never going to be great. Music sounded good
and the standard jack socket at the top is a great idea. I found navigating
the music to be a simple idea poorly executed which may have been sorted
by the final release. Generally this had the potential to be a very
good music phone that could also take quick snapshots.

Music is the special feature of this phone.there is great clarity when
we hear music through the headset.Also,scroll feature of the phone makes
it easy to use.Above all 2GB internal memory and expandable upto 6GB
rates this phone superior above all.only problem is battery life is
maximum 2 days(music+camera).i wish it would have been little more.

Very nice design. The music and camera features are easy to use, the
screen is vibrant, you can use it as an fm radio... and the mp3 player
works without the sim card (you can use this as your mp3 player even
after you don't want to use it as your phone anymore). My only complaint
is that my particular phone keeps trying to sync with t-mobile.com and
its keeps doing it every couple of hours which is taking away from my
battery life... i'm working with tmobile right now to correct that problem.
