Support for iTunes, excellent display

Limited to 100 songs, VGA camera only, USB1.1 connection

Motorola and Apple started working together more than a year ago, in July 2004. The result of their cooperation was first presented at the CES fair at the beginning of this year. Soon afterwards, in the spring of 2005, we were shown the first pictures...

First phone with iTunes. Good call quality. ; function Video(mypage, myname, w, h, scroll) { var winl = (screen.width - w) / 2; var wint = (screen.height - h) / 2; winprops = 'height='+h+',width='+w+',top='+wint+',left='+winl+',scrollbars='+scroll+''...

Extremely slow music transfer. Somewhat clunky software. No other cutting-edge features. ; See the Motorola ROKR E1 in Action ; !

As for the rest of the iTunes experience, it is comfortably similar to that of an iPod; hit the dedicated iTunes button on the ROKR and you pop into a typical iTunes interface, with options to view songs by artist, album, or title, or to shuffle songs....

The biggest thing the Motorola ROKR E1 has going for it is the carrier deal with Cingular. Feature wise it just doesn't innovate. Overall the device isn't polished, from a USB 1 connection to extremely slow performance. Using the ROKR made me...

The ROKR E1 is a nice enough handset, but it is definitely a phone with iTunes built in rather than an iTunes phone. The difference is significant, and as it is not particularly cheap it is not an especially compelling choice of music handset.

Its music player is not as good as we expected, but the Motorola ROKR does have some redeeming features.

Above-average on signal strength, this combination of cell phone and iTunes music player doesn't drop calls easily, and plays back MP3 or AAC tracks without complaint. Includes 512MB memory card. Offers partial Bluetooth compatibility, an integrated...

Signal strength aside, audio quality of calls is only okay, and not good on caller's end when using included stereo headset. Phone and iTunes interfaces, including music synchronization, are frequently slow and non-intuitive by comparison with...

I'm glad this crap got a low rating. C+ is still too high in my opinion. The ROKR just stinks of restrictions. Restrictions that Apple probably placed on the device so it wouldnt take away from iPod sales. This could have been the next big thing!...
