Plays music from iTunes music store
Decent range
Sound quality equal to an iPod
Support for multiple playlists.

First iTunes-branded phone
* Links effortlessly with iTunes
* Good onboard sound quality
ITunes software handles well
Good quality sound output through headset and stereo speakers
Album art displays on handset
The editors didn't like
Horribly slow music transfers
Sluggish menus
Rubbish headphones
100-song limit
Dead-slow syncing
Poky interface
Artificial track limit
Reversed stereo channels.
ITunes implementation is not done well. Chief annoyance is the 100-song cap (to prevent cannibalising iPod sales)
Closely followed by the USB 1.1 connection and sluggish movement between menus.
Slow to copy tracks No over the air downloads from iTunes 100-track limit
Camera resolution is only VGA (640x480 pixels)
100-tune limit
Slow transfers over USB
Cant transfer tunes via Bluetooth or buy them over the air

Abstract: DESIGN The ROKR definitely isnt a product of Apples design team. The candy bar style body is a bit clunky and doesnt incorporate the familiar iPod Click Wheel. Instead, the phone is navigated through a five-way joystick that can be programmed to jum...
Abstract: The cell phone industry is highly competitive and global communications companies are always looking for new and innovative ways to make their technology stand out form the others. Cell phones are no long just wireless communication tools. Todays ge...
Abstract: now, with the negative reviews mostly over, the analysis stories are starting to appear, trying to understand how a phone this misguided came to be in the first place. The ROKRs story is a sad one. Perhaps never before have so many techie hopes been c...
Abstract: Rokr E1 iTunes Phone Motorola have launched the Rokr E1 the first fruit from its partnership with Apple. But is this a sweet cocktail or is there a whiff of something rotten about the first iTunes phone?
Abstract: The reviews certainly have not been stellar for the ROKR E1, but I walked into a Cingular store recently and played around with one. I’ve been contemplating a new phone now for about three years. I just loved my five-year old Nokia; it’s a gre...
Abstract: Back on the 7th of September Motorola and Apple jointly introduced the new Motorola ROKR E1 - the worlds first phone with iTunes support built-in. Based on the rock-solid E398, the E1 has a lot to offer.
Abstract: <b>Spec:</b> 0.2 lbs<br> <b>Good:</b> Solid call and music playback quality; includes speakerphone and Bluetooth; bright display; user-friendly controls; integrated iTunes player.<br> <b>Bad:</b> Dull design; small 100-song memory; limited Bluetooth functionality; sluggish iTunes interface and transfer speeds; cant download songs wirelessly; VGA camera only.<br> <b>Bottomline:</b> The Motorola Rokr E1 takes a step toward integrating a usable audio jukebox into a functional cell phone, but the 100-song limit and the slow processor performance will disappoint iPod users looking to carry a single do-it-all device.<br>
Abstract: I?m not wowed by the ROKR. It?s not a terrible phone or music player, but it?s not the kind of impressive first effort you expect from a product associated with Apple. With its slow syncing and response, artificial 100 track limit, audio glitches (reve...
