Anonymous, 12 Dec 2008Dont make me laugh. The E8 could never beat N95 in CPU. N9... moreAhh. Our rival has returned to play.

Obviously, you are always scouring the forums, looking for prey to eat. Anyone with comments that you can counter (though not so efficiently) are the ones you only pick a fight on. The other guys here are surprisingly not targeted, why is it so?

Come on, take me on. So effing what if your precious Nokias are more powerful than the E8? Do I care? Hell no. So what if your N81 does jumping jacks, cooks pancakes, and shoots lasers? If you think that someone has "little intelligence" to use such smart devices, then you are obviously blaming the person for his idiocy. Hello, even the technofreaks like me have their own personal preferences, and you just have to accept the fact that the N81 is not always their cup of tea. Can you even enumerate all the spot all of your N81's features and tell me which ones you have used?

For me, the N81 is a very capable phone. However,I do not need it because it is just a waste of money. If I spend lots of enchiladas just to buy a phone like that and then only use a quarter of its features, then it's just not too cost-effective. With my E8, I can utilize 75 percent of the features. Most of the ones I don't use are network-related, since I'm on prepaid. Your proclaimed "ultimate" phone may have everything, but do I (and millions of other "simpleton" users) need them all? No.

    N95 has a TI OMAP2420 Dual CPU running at 332mhz with a PowerVR MBX2 3D Graphics Accelerator running at 220mhz, the N95 absolutely destroys E8.

    Well you are in a MOTO FORUM so thats a realy 1diot1c question to ask, visit a Symbian forum, 75% of the time our Smar phones are running well over 3apps at once which is very convinient since your cute little e8 would pack up and slow down.

    Lol, you sold a N81 for a E8? Thats great! It means the N81 was WAY TOO COMPLICATED for your little mind, actualy im sure the phone itself was smarter than you. My N81 hardly ever restarts and yet it gets used very heavily.

      Hello, my comment is as follows. I think Nokia is better tha Motorola. I've had lot of cellphones and Motorola's been the brand with more details. Now, what Nokia sells here, are cellphones so so, I mean, in Europe, Nokia cellphones are more tech advanced what are sold here in America.

          1)Never heard of any E8 (or most other Moto phones except Z8) has such problem.

          2)If such problem really occurs, the service center would simply change the motherboard. (that means other than the outter housing, the phone is new!)

          See if you can ask your local service rep to change the motherboard...as electronics nowadays can't exactly be "repaired".

            I bought this phone 'cause I wanted an good music phone, and I liked this phone on a first sight. I had 2 phones but i wanted this one. I was, and still am, very satisfied with the mp3 part of it. But i'm so disappointed with the phone part... Recently i had some problems with network, i'm allways unavailable- In an autorised store they check it and it stilll losing signal. The batery is very bad. Don't know what to do. It's the second Motorola pone that I bought with the same problem. Any suggestion? Do I need to buy a knew battery? maybe with the knew one the signal will be better...

              Who owns an N81 phone and uses all its application at the same time just like what the fanboy is doing to his? Anyone?

                Sound quality is top notch with this set. E8 has generated some of the best RMAA results and in real world too, the owners say it themselves :)

                  i have read almost all reviews and what I can say is that this phone is awesome.I own this phone for 3 months and I'm very happy with it.First of all it looks great.Second of all it is proved that is one of the best music phones ever made.With its 500 mhz processor could beat even n95(369-400 mhz)but it has only 1 mb ram.And finally i eant to say that it worths every dollar

                    I'll stand the truth.I won't tell lies. I've proved that Moto is the best cellphone brand. All of my friends who sell cellphones also said that Moto is the best durable cellphone in the world.

                        I'm a cellphone seller.I hope my comments will clarify all the war about Moto vs Nokia.
                        Moto has a good design and its build quality is just perfect.Moto is the less brand that I've ver taken it to be repaired at service center.Nokia and Sonny Ericsson is the most brand to be repaired.Sony Ericsson has a weak built quality.Cracking keypad and restart issues are the most common problem on most SE phones.
                        Nokia has also the restart issues,unable to charge,signal issues,software issues,etc.
                        Motorola is the only brand which is almost perfect.Only a few minor software issues I have.
                        I think mr.N81 here is only proud of his N81 advantages.He didn't wanna tell you guys how weak is the N81.
                        I'eve ever sold N81 and I can tell you that it's made of cheap plastic,the sliding is also weak and sometimes it restarted. Installing java games is a pain.It took so much time to install games.I can do it quick on E8.
                        Moto is always be the best since I sold E398.

                                  Still the good ol' E8 vs. N81 thing is getting too ridiculous these days. It seems that someone is forcing everyone here to submit to the "awesome" powers of the N81 and worship it as a god. Well, we ain't gonna convert to N81-ism; we must stand strong and move on.

                                    Because world crisis so Nokia Fanboy getting stress. He / she doesn't have knowledge to compare mobile phone with different class. That's why he / she compare between Motorola E8 and Nokia N81. Only smart people know which one music phone, which one smartphone, which one multimedia phone and only smart people will compare with same class (music phone with music phone and similiar price). He / she never give fact advance / expert comparison between Motorola Rokr E8 and Nokia N81. Hahaha... Shame on you.

                                      I've been away too long, but looks like the same issue about Nokia is still wandering. However, I was still reading during my "absence" and have been re-evaluating the situation. Now I believe, besides the ego issue (arguing on points, features & so on here), the whole thing appears like someone is using a "suppresion" approach on E8 - they picked on E8 becoz they probably believe this is one of the best current model from Motorola with CES 2008 award that could threaten other brands. So if you read thru the comments from many back pages here, initially there were too many positive comments that supported E8's good design & features. When others came here, they'll find good positive reviews BUT now, they'll find arguments which will take away spaces/pages and saturate the good comments to appear less in a page. So guess who will benefit from this? Competitors? This is what I mean by suppression - neutralizing or saturating all the good comments so that they will not accumulate all in one page resulting in E8's image becoming less strong as before, just like politicians got publicized on their wrong personal affairs by some oppositions that have happened so many times - definitely tarnishes their image.

                                      So the best way to deal with this is to - TOTALLY IGNORE whatever comments from the person concern - no matter what he kind of comments he's coming out with. Once we "reply" to his comment, we fall into his trap. We need to prepare ourselves that his comments will be more sarcastic as time goes by to attract replies so please refrain from replying. Please don't look at what he's writing in his individual comments, instead, look at the bigger picture, what is he trying to achieve with all his comments thru our tug-of-war with him. Now, does this make sense to us all based on what's happening?
