this is the best phone i've every had. THe size is small and the phone is strong. Many people prefer the new SLVR, but i dont like it because it is too thin that people could drop it so easily. The ROKR has the perfect shape and color. The white color is rare and all of the buttons are in the right places. When i first got the ROKR, i was impress with all of its features, and theres alot of little things that makes the phone fun and advanced. The best thing about this phone is the 3d speakers, the sound is very clear and loud. I also love all of the features like the side lights, ringtones that comes with it and the wallpapers. Many people complain because it cant hold over 100 songs. This is not an ipod you guys, its a phone, 10 songs would be enough for me. lol. Too many people give it negative because it cant perform or hold as much as an ipod. The only negatives i have about it is the camera and video recorder. Its like many other phone cameras, its not horrible but i just want a really good quality camera. I know its just a phone, not a digital camera, but its possible to add atleast a 1 megapixel camera like some nokia and sony ericcsons. Why not give it to the ROKR since it is loaded with so many features. But the flash on the camera really helps when your taking close pictures in poor lighted areas. Theres many features on this phone that i love and the best ones is that it holds a memory card so you could upload music/usb cable. I could tranfer many things like songs and pictures to and from my computer. I dont even use itunes, as long as it plays mp3s, im good. Well im satisfied with this phone and i recommend it to everyone. I give it 9.9 out of 10.

The specs of the E1 differs from region to region.
I had mine here in the Philippines and in can only accept 50 songs in its iTunes. E1 here comes bundled with 256MB TransFlash cards. As far as I know, E1 in the US can accept 100 songs in its iTunes. Even with 256MB card, Asian E1 can only have 50. If your E1 accepts 100 songs but you only have 256MB card, you must upgrade to 512MB if you want to take advantage of your 100 song capacity. The song capacity is relative to your TF card capacity.
To save up on memory space, in your iTunes application on your coputer, go to preferences and select AAC in importing and converting your songs. 128kbps (bit rate) in AAC is already a high-quality setting compared to the high-quality setting of MP3 which 196kbps. In other words, 128kbps AAC sound the same with 196kbps MP3. The lower the bit rate the lower the bit size. Use AAC for iTunes files because, after all, its an iPod (Apple) phone and AAC is Apple's innovation.
When your iTunes songs don't play continously, try adjusting your REPEAT and SHUFFLE settings.
And yes, after a call iTunes won't play back automatically but it shouldn't matter much because all you need to do is toggle the joystick up to activate play.
As for removing the keypad sound, go to Ring Styles>Loud Detail/Soft Detail/Vibe Then Ring Detail>Key Volume and you're set.
As with the side lights, it really doesn't sync with iTunes but rather lights up only in-sync with background noise, call receiving, MMS/EMS/SMS receiving, charging, and Bluetooth activity.
If you noticed the keypad, no light comes up if you're in a bright spot. Try moving to a darker area and your keypad light comes on. Its like there is a photo-sensor built inside and beneath the keys.
Its true that picture/video quality is not so good, but it is rather decent. You see, this is primarily a phone. If you want good pictures/videos, get yourself a digital camera.
As with your computer not recognizing your phone as a USB device, go to Settings>Connectivity>USB Settings. The default connection should be Data/Fax Connection if you want to use your phone as data storage device. And the default connection should be Memory Card if you want to use your phone for iTunes storage. See, our E1 comes with built-in Mobile Phone Tools and hence there's no need to buy separate Mobile Phone Tools software.
As I had observed, the finish of the silver accent on the phone's exterior really fades. And the 2 exposed screws at the back of my unit shows rusting.
Here in the Philippines, cellphone shops can install iTunes on your E398 for 500 pesos. That's around 10 US dollars.
Question, does anyone from the Philippines know where to buy 2.5mm to 3.5mm headset adaptor for E1 except eBay? eBay's buyIT price seems high. I really wanted to use my Sennheisser earphones on my phone.
Last one, how can I view pictures/videos on full screen in my E1? The net version of E1's specs & features said so.
eMail me if you have questions on your E1 phone.
MOTO rocks! Peace!

The speaker phone quality sucks!!! Not to mention the handphone speaker too. Its very feeble and voice conversations cannot be heard if there is a lot of noisy traffic. Motorolla software's arent quite intutive as Nokia or Sony Ericsson. But one good thing about this phone is the Itunes....the quality of earphones is just fantastic.
I got this phone on a sale for half the price...if I had to pay full price...i rather prefer Nokia or Sony Ericsson any day.

Shaun, i saw your posts in the gsmarena.com about rokr e1. i was wondering if it was really true that i can store my msgs in my sd memory card? if so, how can i do it? is it just thru the computer, usb cable etc, or i can just simply press something in the phone and it will be copied to the memory card? another thing, can't i use a 1gb memory card so i can put more songs in the iTunes section of my phone? i've read several reviews and it only says "expandable up to 512mb".. if its the case then i find this phone "pretty and nice but short of something.." last question, why can't the mp3s in the sounds section play continuously after each song is done? is it really like that or is my phone defective?
and to add some comments regarding this phone.. i think motorola has advertised it big time but it isn't really half of what they have plugged the phone to be. it is tru that it's kind of slowing down when you are typing in a message when the message you are typing is reaching the limit of it. second, picture quality isn't that great. i wish they had just put in a meagpixel cam.. after all they already included an iTunes feature.plus the silver "metallic-look" and furnishings of the phone isn't really silver or metallic!! it is just a paint of some sort that easily worns out because of some air or frequent wipings that i do when i clean it.. it's disgusting that it is like that.. i am really careful and takes good care of my gadgets especially with my phone, but now it looks awful.. the silver edges are slowly losing its color..argh!

at 1st i am so excited to get this phone...cuz its like an ipod/cellfon..not only that it could hold at least HOLD "100 songs". but just get so disappointed that after i bought it. i have encountered several problems just to the download the songs and worst it could not even hold half of that “100 song.!
p.s. its not even true what you see in the commercial…that after you hang up
from a call the song will just play back itself…
