I know on iPods you are able to buy an attachment that will make it possible to play out of your car stereo through an FM channel. Does this phone have the same capability?

My Opinion on the Motorola E1 ROKR Cell Phone; Firstly, yes I own one. I bought it specifically because it was not a flip phone. I owned a V400, which is a good phone, but I'm very tired of flip phones and their bad connectors to the screen that cost a lot to repair. So a solid non-flip phone is ideal for me. As far as the looks I've read that a lot of people dislike the looks of the E1 ROKR. Personally, I like it very much...I much prefer the design of this device to some of those horrible 80's retro wannabe things that Nokia is pumping out lately. It is true however that the phone could have been made slimmer. It is basically the same size as the previous generation of phones. But the size is not all that bad. Also, the buttons were well laid out as I rarely have a problem finding the correct button...unline the Vxxx series of phones where I was constantly hitting the wrong button. Also the vibrate feedback feature onthe phone is nice...it is reasuring to knowing that your input was recognized by the OS. The Rythym lights features is interesting. It is a bit silly really, but a nice idea if it had been done correctly and implemented more seriously. As it is currently it's more a lame ravers feature and the novelty wears thin quickly. The itunes software is excelent. My only grip is that controlling iTunes on the phones is not obvious. Raising/Lowering volume, stop/play/pause and other features are not obvious. Also, it would have been better had those rythym light things gone to the beat of the music on iTunes.
The battery time is really good though. Beats the V400 my miles. I rarely need to charge this phone which is a plus for once.
The memory card used to store the songs is a bit strange. SD is fine...but why something called TransSD? And why do small? The card it like 1/8 of a postage stamp and it must be installed under the cover under the battery. Did noone at motorola realize that a slot in the side of the phone for quick change would have been nice...instead of having to open your phone and expose it's insides to swap out cards. So that is a bad design fault in my opinion.
The phone is Tri-Band which is good but unfortunately it is not Quad-Band.
The software is a fancy version of the V400. Themes are cool and a good idea but basically it's a V400.
The Camera on the phone is dated and takes low res pictures and they are very low quality. Yes the phone has a video camera feature but that is more novelty than useful.
The included transfer USB cable is a big bonus. And transfering files between the PC and the phone is a snap since the phones memory card shows up in Windows XP as a hard drive. So installing java games, pictures, ringtones, whatever, is really easy. This is an excellent design feature of the phone.
Bluetooth functionality on the phone leaves something to be desired. It basically works about 50% of the time and it is so limited in functionality that it's basically useless. You really can't do much with the bluetooth. Motorola needs to start including full bluetooth functionality in it's phones.
The 100 song limit is stupid. Whoever came up with that is an idiot. Even if you have tons of memory left the phone will not allow over 100 songs. Hopefully a future firmware upgrade will correct this idiotic limitation.
The phone is pricy in my opinion. But in all fairness...I think all cell phones are a rip off for what you get....if you want a really useful phone pop for the cash and get an HP iPaq phone....now there is a useful phone...all the rest are toys.
But if you want to own the first official iTunes phone this phone is not bad it's just not exactly what you probably expect. It would appear that the phone was rushed to market quickly before everything was thought out throughly.
Thank you.

Great phone. Itunes on the go - perfect. But the main reason i got the phone was to use my mp3's as ringtones. How do you do this ? It just does not say anywhere !

If you want to compare creative and ipod, just remember the earphones that you get supplied with an ipod... and remember who has years of experience creating sound cards.
Also the number of voices is for polyphonic ringtones, which is software limitation, not hardware!
The ROKR is great value for money, and with the impending walkman phone shortage will sell by the bucket load!

Hi! Im buying a new phone and I was wondering if some one could help me! I am trying to decide between 2 motorola phones. The first one is the ROKR E1. It looks like a good phone and I like the way it has itunes on it, but the camera is average at 640x480. If anyone has this phone could you email me with a good review hilighting its bad and good points and pictures (if you can).
The other phone is the Motorola V1050. This is the black 3g phone. This phone also has mp3 and memory card but isnt really a phone specifically designed for music. It also has a 1.3 MP camera which is good. If anyone knows which one i should buy can you email me please? Thanks.

Improved! 256K color...video recording...iTunes player...new body color...AAC supported...microSD...WOW features... I knw the sound of the quality is SUPERB! 3D surround sound with dual 22Khz speaker. Cheap! Comparable wit others except the camera pixel but 0.3mega pixel can capture a good quality compare wit other 300K pixels. The phone is TOUGH! User friendly keypad. Security wit PIN code for all application like message, phonebook, etc. (NOKIA don hav it) Its TRUE... Bcoz im the E398 user. But wat I don like abt E398 is SLOW process (laggy)... I think tis E1 stil not powerful features yet. I hope it includes radio, at least 1 mega pixel, faster CPU, longer battery life, eazy access memory slot, etc. Thx MOTO...!
