harmony, 15 Mar 2009Ei tnx Again coreSOLO
yeah i agree with you the looks of ... more- E8 is not one of the fastest phones, but its by no means slow. Menu is not as fast as SONY phones, but comparable to some of the fast SYMBIAN phones. Check out E8 videos at youtube.
- E8 supports 3gp, mp4, real and wmv video (havent tried AVI files) You can get full details at E8 manual downloadable from E8 support site. Max video bitrate is 250-320 kbps, but videos can be tweaked to use bitrates over 320.
- Housing is VERY SOLID, very well built. Front glossy panel can resist small scratches, but not strong ones. Back rubber-like plastic can wear off but only after long use. Still, take care while keeping it in pocket, keep it in a light pouch or something to leep your E8 looking like new :)

Meets most of your requirements. 200 euros might be a limiting factor here, you will have to make some compromises, decide which features you want most. If you can compromise on touchscreen, you can get some nice stuff. For Image editing, you can find some cool Symbian apps if you opt for a S60 set or try to get a JAVA application otherwise. Tell us what do you come up with.

simple answer first...
yes you can install java apps on beat. java apps can be installed on almost any set except a few low end ones.
now time for a more complex answer...
dont go for samsung BEATs, their sound quality and fidelity is not good, check it out here http://www.smape.com/en/reviews/motorola/RMAA_test_1.html . There are a few good sets in E8's price range which might interest you keeping music, vids and cam in mind :
- LG cookie KP500 : good audio, big screen for videos, good cam, really cheap for a touchscreen phone, but no 3.5 mm jack
- Nokia N81 : good audio, big screen, better cam than E8, great support for symbian applications
- and finally E8 : awesome sound, great call quality, easy msging, 2GB builtin mem + upto 16 GB card tested and working, nicely built, but screen is small for vids and cam is poor (sorry to say). if you wanna save money and can sacrifice a bit on looks, EM30 is there with same audio engine as E8 and much cheaper.
well, i selected E8 as i'm an audiophile. i've found E8 to be the sexiest phone around and i dont bother about other things. thing might be different for you or same, i dont know. better do some research before finalizing on any cell, sorry if i've confused you :P ask us if you wanna know anything else, we're always on the lookout to help :)

You can find a number of useful applications on getjar dot com. Download the jad and jar files, place them on your memory card, browse them from your phone's file manager and select the option to install.
While downloading, make sure that application's resolution matches your mobile. As a matter of fact, a lots of good applications come with flexible screen size which fits on all screens.
Hope it helps :)

rokr e8, 08 Mar 2009Hi, I tried using Motorola's Software Update since it says ... moreHey Buddy, sorry bout your E8. Your best bet would be to go to a service center, however there are a few more options if you like being adventurous ;)
1. Make sure your battery is not deep discharged, check your batt in some other E8. I've seen a few cases where E8 batts got deep discharged, and phone cant recharge the baty from such a low level. As a result, you can neither switch on the phone nor charge the battery.
2. If there was an update error, get your original (stock) firmware from any of the modding site, get the necessary third party tools and reflash your firmware to original one. Once you are back to your old factory firmware, you can then retry updating using motorola updates.
If you opt option 2, be sure to download only a stock firmware and not a modded one. Also match your firmware and bootloader version. About half the times, the third party flashing tools used can update your firmware even if your cell is not starting at all, so you might have a luck here. But remember that this might void your warranty.
Personally, I'd suggest you to visit a service center to cut all the crap :)

Hi, I tried using Motorola's Software Update since it says that it will keep the performance of the phone at it's best. Now my phone is dead, not functioning, everytime I turn it on, it just flashes white screen for about 3 seconds then it turns off, then it flashes white screen again, then turns off again, and so on until I remove the battery. I tried the bootloader ("#" + "*" + "power on") then used the Motorola's Software Update again. The software updater does recognized that an error occurred while updating my phone but it doesn't recognize my phone's infos like IMEI, which I believe is the reason why it always fail to update. PS, the first time I used the software updater, my phone's IMEI and other infos are recognized.
Anyone with the same experience?
Anyone knows a solution for this aside from taking the phone to the service center.
Thank you in advanced.

I understand that Australia has a top rated bluetooth headset brand called BlueAnt, their Z9i and V1 are highly rated to be among the best in the world right now. I'm seriously considering the Z9i for my next upgrade and would ike to see if E8 and Z9i make a good combination. Happy ROKR-ing!

I bought my ROKR E8 5 days ago and am very impressed at the qaulity of phone. Im particularly impressed at its quality in relation to its price. Ive adjusted to the key pad and am not disapointed at the slight delay. Ive had no problems synchronizing the phone to PC and obtaining my contacts, all sorted with no fuss. Given its an australian model i anticipate the problems experienced in the US and UK should not be a factor. Thanks again Stuart.

kilt, 17 Dec 2008i have a problem, so maybe somebody could help me?
when ... morei FOUND the solution:
I flashed my phone and then it looked like i had way too many songs on my phone memory, i think over 100. i deleted 70 of them and phone suddenly "recognized" the remaining tracks and plays all of them and no more "refreshing your list" lagging.
The only issue left is the battery life. i'm purchasing another motorola battery. hope it would fix my problem.

sara, 24 Feb 2009hallo! a question... can you change themes or screensavers ... moreHi Sara, the only way you can change its themes and colors is by modding the E8. I'm not sure about new releases of the phone, though if it has themes or colors on it.
