Nice try Motorola but it aint good enough.

The only reason why people would buy this phone is because of its looks ! ! Not because its a MUSIC phone.

Motorola cant keep up with the competition.. Of all the BIG 4 manufacturers, its motorola thats hardly releasing any newer models, and if they do, its nothing very unique or special.

Motorola should be thankful to USA because its the only country where motorola sells ! ! ! For some reason i dont know ! ! lmao

    moto you should rethink the way you plan your mobile device portfolio...otherwise you would slip more and more...in 2nd quarter the world's number 2 mobile phone maker changed from moto to samsung.
    In 1998, Nokia replaces moto as the world's largest mobile phone manufacturer.
    Again in Q2 2007, Samsung replaces Moto as the world's second largest one.
    if moto fails to recover the situation within next one or two quarter...samsung would truly replace it.

        This phones ok, but its nothing new...........all said in done it plays mp3s, wow! As for the guy bashing sony phones you gotta be kidding me right? Sonys UI kicks the crap out of Motos outdated OS. The W810 is 2 yrs old and still extremely competitive, and bluky? Im not sure where you get bulky from, the pebls a thicker then sonys cany bars. Some ppl who text dont exactly enjoy the flat key pads....This phones ok but lets be honest its nothing ground breaking

          PEBL is reborned! Sexy looking phone! This phone will be better then the sony phones because it has a better style since its not a bar phone like most of the sony phones, I'm sure motorola number pads won't be as bulky as all ericsson ones also. So I say Motorola all the way!

              Wow!nice phone...hope it run on linux and comes with HSDPA,that will be the perfect phone for me...and to those who are arguing about the sound quality of ROKR E2 and SE,go and check out the music handset comparison review on www.mobile-review.com,you'll find answer there.

                Lets see what will happen next. but ATM the Walkmans are very powerful multimedia lines from all ranges (W200-W960) and leads the market. nokia XpressMusics are starting to make competition, so i think Motorola should give us a high-end ROKR first before starting to launch tons of mid and low ends like SE does :)

                    I like the idea, but sony ericsson will make the ROKR look crap. SE walkmans are the best music feature like 3.0 nokia music-express is also good too.

                      LOL what a Phone ! more like a Stone Pebel

                      motorola wake up and compete with other Phone companies properly motorola make phone as if there still in 1990

                      wtf???

                      who made first thin phone???
                      motorola
                      who made second thin phone???
                      SE
                      and then nokia

                      and these as you call 1990 styles are selling great cuz all have new motorolas with thin design
                      the problem with motorola is that it isn't advertised enough
                      i saw this for example
                      rokr e6 and new nokia
                      i saw adverties for noki even befour you could buy it
                      nothing for motorola and i still don't see advertises for motorola

                      and ye motorola is better even if you're not happy with the sound you can modify it easily with your computer
                      every jack-ass can modify motorola cuz it's so simple but very very good

                          the PEBL is dead.......long live the PEBL. Lets hope they have been brave with this one and considerably upgraded the software so it matches the quality of the top end Walkman's. I own a W880i and the only thing I can fault it for is its lack of durability. I seriously love it if Motorola could tempt me away. I not getting my hopes up tho....lol

                              i think walkman phone still win... MOTOROLA ROKR still can't beat walkman.... i have w810,w850,N91 and MOTO ROKR E2... cause i love music phone.... and i think N91 is the best because its shenheiser headset.... the second place of course my w850i and then w810i.... ROKR E2 i think is in the last place.... so much treble in ROKR E2's sounds and the bass element is very poor....

                                It's fact. It's been tested in car audio clubs in my city using specialized equipments. Motorola E2 has superior sound quality compared to other music phones. I'm sure this phone will also have the best sound quality
