Haptic keys don’t do it for us
Limited memory
Average sound
There's only 2GB of internal storage
Although you can ramp up the memory by a further 8GB via the micro SD card slot. Away from the music
Listless EDGE download speeds and a dim-witted 2-megapixel camera render the E8 merely a good phone instead of...
Abstract: When we first played with a pre-release Motorola ROKR E8 early this year, mobile phones with haptic feedback touch controls and touch screens had not taken the world by storm. Fast forward to today, and we have a slew of Samsung phones including the S...
Good music player, unique keypad, 3.5mm socket, stereo Bluetooth
Rubbish camera, no 3G, somewhat clunky is size
The Motorola ROKR E8 is a fantastic music phone, with an innovative keypad to enhance simplicity and usability. Its also very striking in its design, with a very stylish front panel and unusual wedge shape at either end. It makes a great music player...

Great looks, with its slender, shiny design; Motorolas best music player to date
While innovative, the navigation controls are too sensitive; the operating software still needs work
Not quite enough features and functionality for the price to make this phone a must-buy
Long story short, the hardware is great, the music interface is decent, the T-Mobile interface sucks. But let's start with the good. Not only do I like build quality, and how the button layout changes according to the phone's function, I also like...
Unique design for true button-haters. Great call quality. Good battery life. Lots of onboard memory.
Touch instead of buttons doesnt make this phone better.
If youre looking for a good music phone on T-Mobile, check out the Nokia 5310 Xpress Music phone, which was slim and responsive with great dedicated music keys, instead of the Motorola ROKR E8, which has no keys at all. There wasnt much to like ab...

Beautiful and solid design, Keypad morphs to correspond with applications, Good music-playback quality, CrystalTalk technology cuts down on background noise
Awkward arc-shaped scroll wheel, Poor Web browser, Interface feels sluggish at times
Most music phones wear their dual personalities on their sleeves with external playback controls that are either too small or unresponsive. Motorola’s ROKR E8 is different. This sleek handset, exclusively available from T-Mobile, literally changes p...
