  • Making up for the horrific ROKR E1 flashbacks was never going to be easy, but Motorola's had a decent stab at it here. It's just a pity the features are so pedestrian when you want them to be ROKing.Motorola ROKR E8 is tagged with Motorola, mobile...

  • The Motorola Rokr E8 makes most sense for customers seeking a stylish handset that excels at music, and not much interested messaging or web applications. Denny Arar Lowest online price: £N/A Buy it now: click here ...

  • Sound quality; 3.5mm headphones socket; design and build; haptic keypad; sharp, bright screen
