      sapphire, 02 Apr 2009thanks core can i just ask again which is better em30 or rokr e8There are only 3 things which differentiate E8 from EM30.

      - E8 has 2 GB builtin memory
      - E8 has omega scroll wheel which helps you to scroll through long playlists
      - Looks

      Apart from this EM30 is exactly same as E8 including features, OS, sound quality, build quality and everything else. Only EM30 is about 30% cheaper than E8, but in last few weeks, price of E8 has come down drastically, atleast in my region.

      How does all this sum up for you? Well its like this. Check out prices of E8 and EM30 in your area. If you can spend some extra cash for E8's above mentioned features, do it. But if you wanna save some money, go for EM30 and you wont feel sacrificed in any way.

                - try to check your card with some other cell, your cell with some other card and try your card on a PC / lappy using card reader
                - do a master reset on your cell, just make sure to backup your data
                - try to reformat your card, but do it in come other cell. reformatting a memory card on PC might not be a good idea, i guess
                - connect your cell to your PC and update its firmware using sony ericsson's update service

                or visit a service center to cut all the crap :)

                  noriel, 31 Mar 2009does using an 8gb sdcard slow the fone down when i fill the... moreI tried to run some forum threads on exactly the same topic. The outcome was that a near full 8GB card does not slow normal functions of E8. There is no noticeable time gap between tracks when playing music. However when you restart phone or open music player for the first time, refreshing music library might take minutes. As a workaround, some members have suggested to sync music using WMP as it creates a music database file on cell and hence refreshing should be faster. Secondly, low speed cards (like class 2) should be avoided for high capacities like 8gb onwards.

                        noriel, 31 Mar 2009hello there, is there a silicon case or LCD protector spec... moreYep there are a number of silicon cases and screen protectors specifically designed for E8. Their availability might depend on your region.

                        Do this - goto ebay uk, search for "E8" (dont place rmoto or rokr there) you will see categories on left hand bar for E8 cases and it will present you with all sort of cases and protectors. select a case of your choice and then try to search it in your region.

                            charlotte, 31 Mar 2009HEllo, I'm interested about motorola E8 I just want to... moreAlthough this is a personal preference, being a heavy texter, I like the keypad A LOT.

                            First the bad points. As there are no physical buttons, locating the keys needs learning. Given the width of the cell, you might also not reach full speed using one hand.

                            Now the good news.
                            - As you might already know, keys are pressure-sensitive, not touch sensitive, so there is no chance of accidental touches
                            - Travel of keys is very good for fast texting. You can press and repress keys without much efforts
                            - Key responsiveness is nice. No delays at all
                            - iTap just rocks. It makes texting so easy and fast by predicting 10-75% of what you want to type
                            - Personally I type using both hands and I am typing much better than any of my last phones
                            - Being a former mobile game programmer, i've seen some heavy testing on E8's keypad without any problems and you know game testers can be real pain for any mobile ;)

                            Hope it helps!

                              I'm interested about motorola E8
                              I just want to know if it's keypad can last for long? Is it too much sensitive? I'm a texter addict that's why i want to know how long does it live. Pls reply..! i really need your opinion right now.

                                There is an email client, basic IM, world clock, calc, tasks, and other standard ones built-in.

                                Native linux apps are not officially supported, though you can install some cool native apps on E8 after modding.

                                But if you are looking for some serious 'usable' applications, JAVA is the way to go. Check out getjar dot com. You might have to consider E8's landscape resolution though.

I am high (and I mean really high) on texting, calling and music, i need to charge it daily. Moderate texting, calling and lil music will leave you with 1.5 - 2 days of batt.

                                  E8's battery is no winner, but at the same time, its not too shobby provided that its a multimedia phone.
