How is the Moto rokr E8?

[tarundham]

hey can anyone tell me how's moto rokr E8???

[dreamcatcher]

Its good. One of the best music phones around. Btw, wait for a while and check the user reviews. Its new and Moto hasnt been able to deliver for quite a long time...

[Pathik]

In that range your best options would be Rokr E8, i450 and N81. All of them are good IMO but I wd prefer N81.

[dreamcatcher]

grrrr.. Nokia fanboys in the prowl. :D

Bunk the E8 if you are not a geek. Linux needs some getting used to, and if you dont mod, its a waste.

Err... N81 does not come in that range. It is around 3k more expensive. :neutral:

Don't look at E8 through E6's eye.

It's very very hard to get used to it's morphing keypad. It's interface is very slow, it's display is tiny for such a feature rich phone.

But the music quality is simply superb.

I would prefer i450 over E8 anyday.

You can never get used to E8's keypad and scroll pad. :(

[hellgate]

yes the keypad is hard to use but didnt find the UI to be slow.
'newayz i think u'll be better off with a N81/N81 8GB

huh??

pathik bhai, maaf karde yaar. :D

[Pathik]

^^ Good. I am a Mod. I command respect. :D

Krazzy, aint it just 1.5k more?

[hellgate]

the N81 with xpansion slot comes for 1.5k more than the price of E8 but price of N81 8Gb is 3k more.

[krates]

There Are Better Options Available :)

I distinctly remember seeing something about an iTunes-ish online music store by motorola specially designed for the E8. I saw it on NDTV. However googling brings me nowhere close to finding that link. Anyone?

[desiibond]

I think it can be accessible only from the phone. I think it's wap link

[goobimama]

I remember they showed it in a web browser. Most tracks looked like they were priced at Rs. 20 each (Hindi) which is pretty good.

[desiibond]

is it this one: http://musicindia.hellomoto.com/moto/home.aspx

[napster007]

i've seen the set ..and it has a good looking interface. Its music quality is superb. But the small screen is a turn off. Get the i450 instead. Its better than E8

[goobimama]

Yep! That's the one. I wonder why it is so difficult to find. No wonder these things normally fail. Gonna check it out now and see if it is feasible.

I'm guessing they have DRM'ed WMA content.

[desiibond]

ofcourse, yes.

I don't think it's a good idea to buy music here.
