Well, I can only assume thats what this is all about - the rokr was gonna be the other modal which had a harddrive and clickwheel (we could assume, from the design), but apple have delayed that to compete directly with the n91.


This is not an Ipod phone, which we were led to believe would be announced, its merely a phone running itunes. The ipod phone MUST still be to come, otherwise the n91 will trounce it completely.

Im still disaapointed, but am starting to hype myself up again for another announcement.

It doesn't take much for iTunes to sync with a phone - hell, Mark/Space's MissingSync Smartphone enables me to sync tracks to my Audiovox SMT-5600 if I want to - but only to the internal memory.

This is more crap from motorola and a half-assed attempt by Apple. I have a couple friends who have RAZRs and they loooooooooove them but that phone isn't any better (functionally) than the v551 sitting unused on my desk.]]>Dec 19th 2005 12:19AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/09/08/its-official-rokr-e1-itunes-phone-can-only-store-max-100/http://www.engadget.com/2005/09/08/its-official-rokr-e1-itunes-phone-can-only-store-max-100/I will buy an Apple designed phone, I won't buy this crappy looking thing.]]>Dec 19th 2005 12:19AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/09/08/its-official-rokr-e1-itunes-phone-can-only-store-max-100/http://www.engadget.com/2005/09/08/its-official-rokr-e1-itunes-phone-can-only-store-max-100/
The iTunes phone with Motorola is a big yank. All it is is a licensing deal for Motorola to brand iTunes and capitalize on Apple's brand name. Capped at 100 songs? Give me a break. This is the kind of thing that is insulting to we "consumers" to bring out with such fanfare that it's this great new technology or something. I've had music on my Treo for a couple years. Limited only by a # of cards.

Sony Ericsson are also making a big deal over the W800 for it's music capabilities. It's not new, it's not original, it's getting pretty dull now considering nearly every phone with a memory card has been able to do this for some time now.]]>Dec 19th 2005 12:19AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/09/08/its-official-rokr-e1-itunes-phone-can-only-store-max-100/http://www.engadget.com/2005/09/08/its-official-rokr-e1-itunes-phone-can-only-store-max-100/Dec 19th 2005 12:19AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/09/08/its-official-rokr-e1-itunes-phone-can-only-store-max-100/http://www.engadget.com/2005/09/08/its-official-rokr-e1-itunes-phone-can-only-store-max-100/

whatever...i expected ugly....lets move along. The Pontiac Aztec of cell phones...

the RAZR is the only non-ugly phone that Motorola has designed. Go look at the crap they make for Nextel.

The 100 song limit keeps it from competing with the Nano. Otherwise you could load a 2G flash card and make it a Nano

what I thought was interesting, that no one mentioned, was that the ROKR can play MPEG-4 video. The screen is big enough for casual watching. having "stop making sense" on a phone like this would be awesome.

It's not a stretch. Motorola did produce the first car radios, so yes they did in fact invent mobile music.

Not only did they invent the car radio, the name Motorola was formed by joining "motor" with "victrola." So, their name literally MEANT mobile music at the time.

Not to say this phone doesn't suck, just clarifying things...

This thing is terrible. As far as a "pure music phone" goes (that is to say, not a pda-a-fied phone with a music player) the W800i spanks, stomps and trounces this...thing.]]>Dec 19th 2005 12:19AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/09/08/its-official-rokr-e1-itunes-phone-can-only-store-max-100/http://www.engadget.com/2005/09/08/its-official-rokr-e1-itunes-phone-can-only-store-max-100/Dec 19th 2005 12:19AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/09/08/its-official-rokr-e1-itunes-phone-can-only-store-max-100/http://www.engadget.com/2005/09/08/its-official-rokr-e1-itunes-phone-can-only-store-max-100/

I guess there are alot of people out there without a portable mp3 device, but even then, how many of those will be content with only 100 songs?

I guess I should start looking for a non-Apple alternative for to combining my phone and portable music device coz clearly Apple has no idea about customer reputation. Alot of people are going to remember this piece of crap, even if they release a superior alternative.

Not a good device.]]>Dec 19th 2005 12:19AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/09/08/its-official-rokr-e1-itunes-phone-can-only-store-max-100/http://www.engadget.com/2005/09/08/its-official-rokr-e1-itunes-phone-can-only-store-max-100/Dec 19th 2005 12:19AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/09/08/its-official-rokr-e1-itunes-phone-can-only-store-max-100/http://www.engadget.com/2005/09/08/its-official-rokr-e1-itunes-phone-can-only-store-max-100/Dec 19th 2005 12:19AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/09/08/its-official-rokr-e1-itunes-phone-can-only-store-max-100/http://www.engadget.com/2005/09/08/its-official-rokr-e1-itunes-phone-can-only-store-max-100/
