Hello Friends
Moto Rockr can handle maximum of 7 applications at a time. Switching between the applications are faster as compared with Nokia's N95. N95 will hang if more than 4 applications is running and if u switches fast between the application and also if the application hangs the OS too hangs and you need to remove the battery to reboot.
Whereas in Moto Rockr E6, if the application doesn't respond, you can kill the application from the OS, no chance of hang or rebooting. Overall Moto Rockr is faster than N95.

Hello Friends
Opera beta is user friendly and faster. The speed depends on your network provider. WiFi is not there in Rockr. In future rOCKR may have this facility. You need to go for Nokia N91,N93,N95 series or Sony erricson P1 for wifi. Overall if you take other features like multimedia, business applications Rockr E6 beats Nokia N series and Sony Erriscon. Its more than a Mobile. Rockr always rocks in performance and battery backup than Nokia n Sony Erricson. Rockr's 2Mp camera have good quality in outdoor than Sony erricson's 2 mp mobiles. I had a comparison of both. Video/Movie watching is great in rockr. I have compressed a movie of 1.32Gb to 240mb in real media(.rm) format. Movie quality in sound and video(320x240,12fps,256Kbps & audio of 44Kbps) is amazing and superb and battery backup also too good. U can easily watch around 3 movies continously around 3:00 hrs each (total ard 9:00 hrs), still after u will get battery backup to another day. Mp3 Playback of 14 hrs continuous. Normally Rockr will give 5 days battery backup with less usage. Thanks to its 1000mah battery.

Hello
Music addictors should definely go for Rockr E6. This mobile has good sound quality of 64 channel mp3 output. Sony Erriscon W series (w810) have only 40 channels mp3 output. Sound output is more than Sony Erriscon W series.

Sound quality through the loudspeaker is good, so far as you do not listen at top volume, then it distorts noticably.

E-mail client is good. Opera Mini 4 beta 2 will work fine, and browsing is fast, except that the sliding effects seems to hang. The built-in Opera 8 browser is excellent.

Scrolling through phone book is NOT easy when using the scrollbar! Mark my words. When dragging the scrollbarbutton, the list stays where it was until you let go of the button, then it jumps to wherever it happens to stop. It is very hard to scroll, I use the typing search function only.

The mp3 scrolling is also not very fast in Realplayer. Those who say that obviously isn't used to faster musicphones like SE.

5 days standby? Please...I want that battery. How come no-one else gets that type of standby time?

The Photo Editor is superb...:-D

If you like modding your phone, Motorola's the way to go...

Bis Später!

Hello Friends,
Am here again to tell u few more thing about Rockr E6....
Rockr's video & audio quality is superb. I'm concerned more about video. You can convert any of your video files(mpeg,mpg,wav...) to real media(.rm) by using Moto EzX Video Producer utiliy(CD). It converts to a compressed rm to a video of 320x240,12fps,256Kbps & audio of 44Kbps. Watching this converted rm video in Rockr is amazing & superb. It has a good battery backup when u use multimedia. Dragging the video or mp3 forward or backward is more GUI friendly using stylus..more friendly that using with window media player.I have tried with a video rm file for 1hr(110mb) size after convertion. Its amazing to come to notice that there is no lag in its both video & audio till 1hr & quality of both r thrilling! You can play mp3 songs for 14 hrs non-stop and video for 10 hrs in its 1000mah battery! No issue in battery backup, you can trust Rockr.(N series fails in these)
I did't feel any problem in scrolling the mp3 files using stylus, its smooth and selecting a music from the playlist.
One good feature is that u can turn off/on ur network from your Rockr itself. That means if u r roaming or does't want to pick any calls...u can use this unique feature, n can constanly watch movies and songs without any phone calls(u can save battery discharge too due to network). Rockr replaces iPod!!!!!!
Rockr's Photo Editor in its menu have a lot of options like adobe photoshop have(more than paint in windows). U can edit, add comments from the photo u took by its camera or external image, u can write in a blank new image using the stylus and can make ur own banners with colour setting, brush, pen....a lot more...
Another unique feature for good sleepers. U can set two alarms at a time and you can set snooze from 1-5-10-15min. So if miss a morning alarm & snooze at 5:00AM, there u can set another alarm at 6:00Am with snooze. This feature is not there in any of the Nokia mobiles.
Call Record can log upto 50 Answered Calls, 50 Missed Calls, 50 Dialled Calls with Start time, Date & Call Duration.
In calender you can set events and Tasks independely. Its a good business mobile.
Message composing,notebook editing,adding contact,photo editing are too easy with writing by using stylus.
Mail can sent via bluetooth or using its own bulit in modem. Opera browser is good in handling html files.
Phone book, Inbox and Outbox capacity are unlimited. U can switch the storing location to memory card/phone menory/simcard memory.
Memory card, Sim Card, Battery have seperate slots. Sim card can be taken without removing of the battery(sim lock also thr). Rockr have an additional internal battery(cell) to maintain the time & date, when its main battery is removed.
Speed dialing using single number dailing is possible by using its Turbo dialing feature, u can assign ur 10 independent family friend nos. Speed key 1 can be assigned to any other no than a fixed no in nokia series.
Voice recoding can be used during phone conversation storage & seperate voice storage.
Video and Audio recording is unlimited(depends on memory card capacity), quality is good if you watch the video in rockr itself.
Rockr have 3 USB modes: Modem, Mass Storage, Webcamera.
Webcamera have good quality like desktop creative webcam, good in video chating and video conference.
You can set Audible timer in Call setting. That means u can set to hear beep sound to u alone in every 50th sec of each minute while making outgoing and receiving incoming calls. This feature is very useful for those who are concerned of time to end the call, so u can avoid mis-using of extra time in a minute during the phone call. The 1 minute beeper can be changed to 5/10/15min beeper. Moreover u can set to display timer for viewing the call duration on screen.
Memory card can be ejected using an option eject(without swiching off rockr) and can be inserted with automatic detection like using pendrive in our laptop/desktop.
Phone book is so user friendly unlike Nokia/Sony Erricson. We have a good control while searching a person's contact & calling from the phone book using stylus as well as using finger touch. Srolling of the contact lists and mp3 song lists can be done ur finger touch itself except message composing unless if u used to or having small finger tip. Dialing a number can easily possible by using ur fingers. Stylus is only for style and fast message composing. No need of taking the stylus always if u can do everything with fingers. Stylus is kept in line with phone chassis, so that it is not projected, it acts as an additional lock to ur back cover. Stylus is small and is extendable like the radio antenna to get grip in our hand. You can set left and right hand setting in ur rockr, a very good mobile for left handers too.
There are more feature to tell about my Rockr E6, till then bye.
Rocks u all......
Thanks

Hello Friends
Its a good mobile phone. I have purchased for 13,450.00 INR(Ordinary) from MobileNxt, Mysore on 09th Sep 2007. Its manufacturing date is May 07. Before buying the mobile you should see manufacturing date and box seal is not opened. That will ensure your mobile for good battery backup and bug free.
Ordinary pack contains MotoRockr, Wired Motorola Stereo head phone, 1GB microSD card with SD tray, 1000mah battery in separate cover, Motorola Charger, USB Cable & 2CD.
There was 30 songs already stored in my memory card. I faced some problem in navigating the songs by scrolling, it got stucked up temporary during scrolling. Actually that was not a problem, I deleted all the 30 songs and freshly loaded 250 mp3 songs. The scrolling works fine with 250 mp3 songs.
Battery backup is 2-3 days with out less usage. Don't charge the battery always, it will kill ur battery life. Avoid USB interface frequently as it goes to charging when u plug. Better charge it using ordinary charger when the battery meter indicates 20%. Charge it fully until the charging getting disconnected automatically(~2hrs).
The internal features are same of MotoMingA1200. Don't buy MotoMing-low battery backup, old model(new one is not available in market, battery will discharge in the pack unless it is been used in short period of months), Output mp3 sound & ring sound are very less, Price: 11,450.00 INR, manufacturing Sept 2006.
MotoRock really rocks- good business card reader, sound output is more than sony erricson W810i, touch screen response is good, voice clarity is good, 2mp camera is well in outdoor, unlimited voice recording(choose storage location to sd memory), 5Hrs video storage in 3gp with 15fps 320:480 screen resolution(good to see the video in mobile itself). Internal memory is only 8MB, always choose jar installation to memory card. Try to avoid usage of phone memory. My 1GB card is full loaded now, processing response is amazing as compared to Nokia N series. It has fabulous features as compared with same price range of sony errison & Nokia. Data transfer is very fast as compared with Nokia N95. I have used N95 for 3 months, but this Rockr having more features than N95 neglecting 5mp camera & video.
Rockr reads .doc, .ppt, .xls, .pdf- but first page can be viewed by its viewer. I need to get other jar application of good reading and editing.
FM radio speaker output is very good as compared to N95. Mp3 sound from speaker of Rockr is 80% of N95. But in headphones Rockr rocks than N95.
Overall Rockr is worth as compared with the price and competers.
Rockr premium pack is costing 2750.00INR extra. It contain 2GB card & Motorola S9 Stereo Headphone. Stereo headphone have lot of bad remarks like non water sweat resistant. audio lags with video in phone, since the mobile have to handle both bluetooth and real player.
Hand writing recognitions and composing messages in hand writing is very good, fast and stylish.
Asphalt2 Car gaming is very good. Its gaming processing is amazing. I played the game with hearing mp3 in its real player. Two process real player and game handled very well without any lag or sound quality reduction. This shows that its good enough to handle multi process operation. Same processing in N95 is very shame.
Calender & meeting can be set notified in ur rockr in a good way. It is much user friendly. I will post more feedback later. MotoRockr is worth buying for me.

Hello All,
Moto Rockr E6 have really good battery backup compared to Nokia/Sony Erricson Multimedia Phones. Its 1000mah battery is good enough to maintain the backup for 5 days. You will get 3 days of backup with a usage of 1 hr talk & 1 hr music per day. Put in charge when the battery reaches 20%. Rockr has Various features in power management like power saving mode, auto power off/on at fixed time, backlight control. Locking feature also add more battery backup. Before buying any mobile you need to check the date of manufacture and should be new since any battery can reduce their life if there is no usage for 6 months. That all about Rockr battery backup.

To all ROKR E6 prospects:

The battery will not last longer than 3 days, I get two days when I'm not doing much, playing games for about an hour, and using Mxit greatly reduces standby time.

Sound is very loud, BUT it distorts greatly when listening to music using Realplayer and set at top volume. However, lower than top is okay. If you're used to Sony Ericsson w810i-type earphone quality stay far away...the E6 doesn't come close. I had the w810i. The E6 also doesn't have an equaliser, except when flashed to 08p firmware, then it will have a rather poor one. Heavy Bass and Rock modes makes almost no difference.

The camera is USELESS! The w810i's VGA photos looks far better than the E6's 2MP. You have to use a tripod to get nice photos, and then only if the infinite zoom is correct by some miracle.

Applications is very hard to find. Try motorolafans.com (using Mozilla Firefox) or modmymoto.com as they have rather a lot. Also try rokitrokr.blogspot.com. Most jar files will install, but doesn't support touchscreen, that's a real pain. I've about 15 games on mine that works perfectly. The A1200's applications will run on the E6...

Calling quality is better than the w810i, it's louder, but still not very loud like Samsung. Smsing is really not easy, especially when in a car. And another thing I've noticed is tiny scratches where the letters of the onscreen qwerty keyboard is. I'm rather disappointed with that, as I only use the stylus to sms.

That's all for now, enjoy your search for a cell phone!
