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: It barely seems any time at all has passed since I reviewed Motorola's bendy slider the Z10 , and here I am looking at another new handset from the beleaguered manufacturer. This time the phone in question is the MOTO ROKR E8. Now, I am not going to go o...
Abstract: A year ago, we would have praised the Motorola E8 ROKR as a fine update of its previous ROKRs. Alas, it is not 2007, but 2008 and were deep into the music phone era, with iPhones, Instincts, Chocolates and others vying or your musical ear. As a result...

The Motorola Rokr E8 has an attractive design with a brilliant display and an innovative keypad. Its music player is top-notch and it offers satisfying call quality and battery life.
The Motorola Rokr E8s navigation controls take acclimation and the phone is rather sluggish. It also lacks 3G, full e-mail, and wireless music downloads.
The Motorola Rokr E8 is a top choice for a T-Mobile music phone, if you can master the phones novel, though slightly quirky, controls. Specifications: Band / mode: GSM 850/900/1800/1900 (Quadband); Talk time: Up to 450 min; Combined with: With digital...

Abstract: The reception quality of the E8 was never an issue, for it is a typical Motorola-branded phone. The loudspeaker’s volume is pretty average, though you won’t miss calls when the handset is in your clothes; the vibro alert is moderate strength-w...
market perspectives The handset offers a high quality of communication, up to the level of the latest Motorola solutions coming with CrystalTalk support. The volume of the polyphonic speaker is just enough for the majority of environments. Its not s...
As we mentioned above, the stand-out feature on the device is the haptic feedback, but unfortunately thats just something youll have to wait to experience. We liked the morphing keypad, but the idea could have been carried much further than it was. ...
Abstract: Motorola today expanded its ROKR family of music products with the introduction of the ROKR E8 mobile device. Using ModeShift technology from Motorola, the quad-band GPRS/EDGE Motorola designed ROKR E8 presents users with only the controls they need, a...
This phone is making a splash in a good way! The good points include:ModeShift technology to change the phone mode with a single push of a button ,Scroll wheel for FastScroll navigation ,Built-in 2GB memory , Support for microSD memory cards , Bluetoot...
It is hard to find anything negative to say about this phone. The only negative comment heard from users is that the ring style is it vibrates and then rings. Many would prefer it to vibrate and ring at the same time.
If you are forgetful and prone to leaving your MP3 player at home, then you will be glad to have the Motorola ROKR E8 on hand. This innovative exciting new phone is a winner all of the way and comes well recommended.
Abstract: Motorolas line of music-friendly handsets didnt make the greatest debut with the ultimately flawed Motorokr E1, although its successor the Motorokr E8 shows the manufacturer has learnt a new trick or two. The slimmer and more stylish Rokr E8 has a v...
