    -------------------------------------------

    I used to have the same prob before and it was a bit frustrating but i was lucky enough to be guided by someone from this site on how to view pictures. Inorder for you to transfer pictures to your computer via USB you would need to place the Connection Type to memory card mode. In that way youd be able to view the pics in the file where you've saved it.

    go to Settings > Connections > USB Settings > Change Connection Type to Memory Card.

    Hope this works! :)

        Hope this helps.

            Of course I still remembers you and yes it's been a while. I'm from Malaysia and the ROKR E8's price here is about USD 270. (could be lower but unfortunately due to the rising of US dollars recently.) How's your V8 by the way? My previous V8 was still in really good condition till the day I sold it off - totally no problem at all. My current E8 is still working very well as compared to some guys here and I enjoy using it so far.

            Thought of changing phone again Gerard? You're one of the lucky few that I knew that can afford all these at 12 years of age.

              I've been using this phone for a year now i think its great not too bulky and all. sound wise to me is not too bad but it can be overwelming sometimes. But its the best phone I have used so far. Better than se n nokia mid range phone which I have used. Highly recommended but this phone lacks themes n wallpaper etc. and i am tired of the current themes.....would be nice if theres more themes.

                  Good to see that no one's been annoying lately.. :) BTW, maybe you guys can help. Out of curiosity, I tried to use the Moto Phone Tools (the one that came with my E8 in the box) and it says that my phone is not supported, and I clicked on the update button, and it says that my MPT is already updated. How do I take care of this issue? Can it be a USB driver issue?

                  One more thing. I wanted to update my E8's firmware, however there are none yet available here in the Philippines. There are no updates on the website neither. Hopefully there will be one soon.

                  I love my E8!

                          kilt, 17 Dec 2008i have a problem, so maybe somebody could help me? when ... moreso i switched sim cards on my moto, and all of a sudden the player started shuffling songs and read them from the media library. By the way, the songs were located on the phone's memory. An before that i flashed my moto to the unlocked UK version and it work so much better and faster, although i previously had the dutch firmware, which lagged big time. Anyway, i have no idea what exactly happened, but i'm very happy.
                          Still there's one issue: the battery life, all of a sudden it lasts only for a day, and i don't listen to music and i set the brightness level to 2, and i don't use the screensaver, and i keep my moto in locked mode all the time, not to mention that i don't use bluetooth, video or camera facilities at all. any advice?

                              Anonymous, 20 Dec 2008Mr coresolo what is difference between Em30 and E8 in terms... moreOn audio quality front, EM30 is EXACTLY same as E8. Same hardware, same codecs and same music player (MotoMagx). However, I dont know whether the bundled headphones differ in EM30 and E8.

                              EM30 cuts cost mainly on internal memory, front panel and FastScroll wheel. IMHO EM30 lacks the X-factor of E8, though its personal preference. I'd suggest you to check out the silver EM30, you might like it better than the red one.

                              In terms of music quality, EM30 is just another E8 in a new skin. Cheers :-)

                                Mr coresolo what is difference between Em30 and E8 in terms of Music quality? Both looks similar configuration but EM30 is cheaper than E8. so tell me how EM30 differs from E8 in terms of Music quality.

                                    Just share whatever I've experienced. I always remember the WOW factor on first time experience, like when I first tested E8, the morphing keypad, haptics, sound quality and the total blackout when it's on standby - you don't see any other phones that's completely black with flat surface. Those who have not tried the E8 before will be like "what should I do", "where do I start" and "where should I press because there's no button" - you know the hidden thrill factor for the first couple of seconds. So I always keep my phone locked so that my friends can touch anywhere on the front panel, it'll still won't be activated and to keep them guessing. My friends didn't think Motorola is capable of coming out with something like this. I like to tell them, look friends, see outside the box, don't always see what others are looking at only.

                                      Also to get maximum possible audio quality, I use 320 VBR MP3 or 192 VBR AAC. Although audio formats and bitrates are a topic of discussion on their own, keeping them high satisfies my EGO ;-)

                                      128 CBR is just not me.
