T-Mobile intro’s the Motorola ROKR E8

by Robert Nelson on Jun 26, 2008 at 02:09 PM

T-Mobile Motorola ROKR E8

As expected T-Mobile has officially unveiled the Motorola ROKR E8, which will be available beginning July 7. The ROKR E8 will feature a touchscreen keyboard with a vibration feedback that will change and offer different keys depending on the feature you are currently using. Otherwise the E8 will be a candybar style handset with a 2-megapixel camera, Bluetooth, 3.5mm headphone jack, FM radio, 2GB of internal memory with a microSD card slot that will allow for 8GB more and is myFaves compatible.

The ROKR E8 will set you back $199, which comes along with a two-year agreement. Overall a decent little handset, but for $199 one has to wonder why, compared to some other more full featured models that are currently available it sounds a little pricey.

Motorola intros the E8 Music Phone

Motorola has announced its latest music tech phone gadget, the E8 Music Phone. The E8 features a ModeShift, which lets you navigate through the phone’s features. This shows how the buttons change as icons shift according to what feature the user is into. It allows for an easy-to-manage set of music controls. However, the E8 Music Phone does not display visible buttons when it is turned off. When switched on, it goes back to the where the user last left off.

It also has that standard phone interface when one is to make a call. Motorola declares it to be their first phone to have a haptic feedback feature. The E8 comes with 2GB of internal storage, and is expandable by up to 2GB, as well. It uses Windows Mobile 11 for easy drag-and-drop of music tracks onto the device. The phone works with a 3.5mm headphone jack, and offers the feature of an airplane mode to serve as a standalone music player.

Motorola EM30

Sporting a very similar look as the current MOTOROKR E8, the EM30 has landed at the FCC and received their approval. The most notable difference between the EM30 and E8 is the navigation pad, the EM30 uses a D-pad as opposed to the omega wheel navigation. The Motorola EM30 is your basic looking candybar style handset, however it does offer some nice features, which includes the keypad, it changes layout based on the current application in use. The EM30 also includes a 2-inch display, 2-megapixel camera, stereo Bluetooth, 3.5mm jack, FM radio, microSD card slot and takes advantage of Motorola’s Crystal Talk technology. Currently the launch information and pricing remains a mystery, however we will keep you updated when it becomes available.

Kojinsha E8 Ultra-Mobile Tablet PC

Kojinsha has announced the E8, an ultra-mobile touchscreen tablet PC. The E8 seems to be an Eee PC that comes with all the extras that you would want along with the hacks pre-installed. The E8 features a 7-inch touchscreen display at 1024 x 600, a 40GB hard drive, 512MB RAM, stereo speakers, USB port, memory card slot and 3.5 hours of battery life. The E8 is powered by a AMD Geode LX800 processor and runs Windows XP. Availability is expected on February 29 and it will retail for around $600. Aside from the low 512MB or RAM, this seems like a great ultra-mobile.

T-Mobile branded Motorola ROKR E8

T-Mobile is expected to launch the Motorola ROKR E8. Images of the candybar style handset with T-Mobile and myFaves branding have recently turned up and sadly the E8 may have a nicer look than specs. The ROKR E8 is said to feature quadband GSM/EDGE, 2-megapixel camera, 2GB of flash-based storage, microSD card slot, FM radio, microUSB and is Linux-based. The ROKR E8 also has a lack of actual keys and instead has a navigation wheel and touch screen surface that gives off little vibrations when you make a “key press.” No confirmation yet on any availability date or pricing information.

Motorola ROKR E8 FCC Leaked Pictures

Thanks to the FCC we have some details and pics of the yet to be released Motorola ROKR E8. The new ROKR is a glossy black candybar style phone that will feature a camera, Bluetooth, a microSD slot, a sliding key lock switch, has a landscape display and EDGE coverage. Unfortunately the microSD card slot is located underneath the battery cover. Overall a fairly standard phone, however the keypad is unique, its a flat keypad with illuminated keys that appear and disappear based on touch.
