    i have a problem, so maybe somebody could help me?

    when choose the "music" option, a pop-up appears saying "Refreshing your media list. Please wait..."

    It's been refreshing my media list for an hour and still nothing. I don't know what to do.

    P.S.: All my music is store on the microSD card. I moved the music files to the phone memory and nothing changed.

      In terms of music quality, E8 excels over i450 with same headphones and same music files both in non synthetic blind tests and in synthetic tests...

      Check out i450's RMAA graph which lacks a punch at lower frequencies
      http://www.mobile-review.com/review/samsung-i450-en.shtml#10

      E8's RMAA graph is one of the best ones, also check THD and IMD values

      In terms of Build quality, E8 is awesome. In terms of looks and X-factor, i prefer E8.

      But in terms of software support, nothing can beat Symbian, so i450 takes the lead here.

      In terms of screen size also, i450 is better, if you need to see videos or wanna browse net.

      Also check out small review in my other post on this page

      Hope it helps :)

          I haven't had this phone for too long, but as of right now, I love it. It's simple to use, effective and efficient. It's no powerhouse but it does have a few nice features and they work nicely. The 2gb internal memory is handy but it would be really nice to have a bit more (4 would be just dandy) but it does have expandable memory. Overall, great phone. It's not to bad in the looks department either.

            Great phone!Sound quality is above average,,videos have good quality,too,but its 320x240 resolution make them somehow small,camera is 2MP,which i would have lied it to be of at least 3MP,I like the Mode Shift technology of the phone,its capacity is good because of its 2GB of internal memory and you can expand it to up to 10GB by an 8GB SDHC(confirmed to work).Best phone I've used excluding the XPERIA1 and the N95.

              I confirm my own Motorola Rokr E8 available to use 8 Gb Micro SD without any problem. No slow processor because has processor 500 Mhz. No hang because has processor 500 Mhz. No problem with the software because has processor 500 Mhz (second faster processor for mobile phone).

                    Also check "e8mod.com" and their forums.

                    There are a few others too, but they are not very active. Ping back if you need anything else ;)

Well no special hardware is needed, just USB connection, and a couple of software. I believe we are not supposed to discuss modding here, but a quick google search will present you with some dedicated modding forums. I have the best forum bookmarks on my office PC, tell me if you need them.

                                    100 Moto's right, get the Motorola authorized service centre to change your E8's motherboard to solve your reception signal problem. I'm the person that coreSolo read about regarding the warranty claimed motherboard.(that's why it's important to buy from your local authorised Motorola importer to fall back on cases like this)

                                    I'm a fussy mobile phone user as my demand in any phone I owned must perform "the basic requirement of a phone" to its best, namely strong signal and best voice quality. That's why I chose Motorola over the others. (I know at least one person here don't agree with me) My previous Z3 & V8 did a wonderful job on signal reception, especially V8 (I'm still impressed with it until today) even though I'm using E8 now. The first month after I purchased my E8, I noticed the signal was not as strong as my V8, signal bar fluctuated between 3 to 4 (fluctuating) whereas my previous V8 was steady strong at 5 bars - at the same location. Went to a local Motorola Service Centre, told them my problem, they performed a detail electronic diagnostic procedure and printed out about 3 pages long results showing my E8's working alright with all the tests "passed" based on its original specs UNTIL (I believe I was really lucky), my E8's signal disappeared to zero (Emergency Call) from full 5 bars while he, the tech guy was holding my E8 in his hand. That was my turning point, he got no choice but to replace my motherboard on the spot under warranty claim, took about 20 minutes to get it changed and did the diagnostic again. Now, almost 3 months after that, my E8's signal is probably about the same as my previous V8, stable and strong. One obvious difference I observed was before the motherboard change, I couldn't hold any conversations at all inside a condo elevator, totally no signal at all. Now it's fine, I get 1 to 2 bars inside and can still talk with occasional interferences.

                                    I just hope that your E8 was purchased from your local authorised Motorola distributor, otherwise it could be difficult for you to claim the motherboard. Don't blame on the phone, it's just that in manufacturing, there's no zero defect on any products so you could be unlucky, just like me.. before.. and it's now over and done with.

                                      I would rather buy the overhyped (and underpowered) iPhone than the N81, to be honest. So what if it's inferior to the N81? I hate Symbian anyways.. More features, more boring. I'd love to update and buy stuff off the iPod App Store (and not to mention modify it) than just having that NSeries crap.

You're so welcome to come to my shop and I'll show you the proof.I'm Indonesian. You think N81 is a perfect phone? For me,It sucks in all way.In Indonesia,Nokia is the best-seller cellphone but It's the most repaired cellphones here.Symbian sucks.
                                        Yeah,I'm using E8 now coz I think it's the best music phone out there.I've done some researches.I don't need 5 megapixel camera,vga video recording,wi-fi,gps and the so-called hi tech phones.I love music.That's why I chose E8. If I want a smartphone,I'd better choose Blackberry series than any Nokia smartphones.
