Sim Free Motorola ROKR E8

Motorola ROKR E8. From talk to music in one touch, ROKR E8 features cutting-edge, easy-to-use controls that allow a smooth transition from phone to MP3 player to imaging device.

Transforming the music experience
Motorola designed the ROKR E8 to deliver an uncompromised consumer experience for music or talk. Using breakthrough ModeShift technology from Motorola, the quad-band GPRS/EDGE device presents users with only the controls they need, at the time they need them, instantly transforming from music player to phone to imaging device with the touch of a button. Simply move a thumb across the FastScroll navigation wheel to search for music (music mode), contacts (phone mode), calendar (phone mode) and multimedia (imaging mode). A perfect blend of art and science, the face of the E8 is a sleek, seamless panel that features the first haptic touch pad from Motorola, which provides vibrating, tactile feedback when the user touches virtual buttons.

Liberate your Music Library
ROKR E8 is designed for music. The device enables the ultimate freedom in loading songs from multiple sources and is compatible with standard connectors, software and accessories. Compatibility with Windows™ Media Player™ 11 on the PC allows users to easily transfer their favorite music onto the device, access to more than 200 online music stores and simple drag-and-drop organizing of songs, artists, albums and playlists. Discovering and downloading new music has never been easier with the ROKR E8's built-in FM radio (optional 3.5mm headphones must be plugged in) and the Song ID feature that recognizes and displays tune information². Share music with friends over the built-in speaker, break free from wires with stereo Bluetooth® wireless technology³, or use a favorite set of standard stereo wired headphones using the 3.5 mm headset jack.

CNET.co.uk Review

Editors' rating	7.8/10 Excellent	Provided by:
What Is It?	Candy-bar music phone with 3.5mm headphone socket
What We Think	With great sound quality and a standard headphone socket, it's close to being a good dedicated MP3 player
We like	Sound quality; 3.5mm headphones socket; design and build; haptic keypad; sharp, bright screen
We don’t like	Small display; sluggish menus and navigation; phone takes getting used to; no support for protected music files
Accessories	Spare Battery, Headset, Cases
CNET.co.uk judgement	With great sound quality, a native 3.5m headphone socket and decent music file format support, the E8 is a terrific music phone. It's not quite a replacement for a dedicated MP3 player yet and it will take you a while to get used to using it, but it's certainly a cut above most of the rest
