But why no iTunes? I know the iTunes software with previous ROKRs and SLVR haven't been very good, but does this mean that Motorola is nixing the iTunes experiment altogether instead of attempting to just fix the problems?]]>Mar 2nd 2006 9:37AMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2006/03/02/motorola-rokr-e3-exclusive-pics/http://mobile.engadget.com/2006/03/02/motorola-rokr-e3-exclusive-pics/Mar 2nd 2006 9:37AMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2006/03/02/motorola-rokr-e3-exclusive-pics/http://mobile.engadget.com/2006/03/02/motorola-rokr-e3-exclusive-pics/Mar 2nd 2006 9:38AMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2006/03/02/motorola-rokr-e3-exclusive-pics/http://mobile.engadget.com/2006/03/02/motorola-rokr-e3-exclusive-pics/It looks like the designer of the phone had never used a phone before.]]>Mar 2nd 2006 9:40AMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2006/03/02/motorola-rokr-e3-exclusive-pics/http://mobile.engadget.com/2006/03/02/motorola-rokr-e3-exclusive-pics/anyway, the ugliest piece of plastic soap i've seen so far.]]>Mar 2nd 2006 9:40AMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2006/03/02/motorola-rokr-e3-exclusive-pics/http://mobile.engadget.com/2006/03/02/motorola-rokr-e3-exclusive-pics/Mar 2nd 2006 9:55AMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2006/03/02/motorola-rokr-e3-exclusive-pics/http://mobile.engadget.com/2006/03/02/motorola-rokr-e3-exclusive-pics/

Design: F
- The #2 is part of that white monstosity in the middle. If it's not a click-wheel then it's useless in my opinion

Useability: D
- About 2 inches thick is rights. Hope they can trim the fat.

Interface: D
- Would have been an F if it still had the 100 song cap, but the Moto interface is the worst. Not sure when it took place but is anyone else happy they finally aligned the call receive and end call button with every other manufacturer on the planet and made the end call button on the right?!?

Overall: D-

Sorry Moto, no hello from Me.]]>Mar 2nd 2006 10:50AMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2006/03/02/motorola-rokr-e3-exclusive-pics/http://mobile.engadget.com/2006/03/02/motorola-rokr-e3-exclusive-pics/
It looks like it that the electronics companies are deliberately NOT constructing the phone we all want.

Why?

To me it's obvious that PDA's, digital camera's, video players, mobile telephones and mp3 players have reached approximately the same format.

BIG screen, 3+ megapixel camera, SD/MMC card (no transflash, mini-SD, RS-MMC etc etc nonsense please), 3.5 mm headphone jack, 60+ Gb HD, mp3/DivX player, WiFi.

Shouldn't be that hard to produce...

Who's brave enough?]]>Mar 2nd 2006 10:51AMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2006/03/02/motorola-rokr-e3-exclusive-pics/http://mobile.engadget.com/2006/03/02/motorola-rokr-e3-exclusive-pics/Mar 2nd 2006 11:28AMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2006/03/02/motorola-rokr-e3-exclusive-pics/http://mobile.engadget.com/2006/03/02/motorola-rokr-e3-exclusive-pics/Mar 2nd 2006 11:56AMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2006/03/02/motorola-rokr-e3-exclusive-pics/http://mobile.engadget.com/2006/03/02/motorola-rokr-e3-exclusive-pics/
Shouldn't be that hard to produce..."

I'm sure that it would be technically feasible, but the device would be HUGE and would cost an absolute fortune.

Big devices with high price tags are very niche items. They do not sell particularly well (look at the HTC Universal) and therefore there's not much incentive to develop such a device.

And that's without going into the potential battery life of a device like that.]]>Mar 2nd 2006 12:25PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2006/03/02/motorola-rokr-e3-exclusive-pics/http://mobile.engadget.com/2006/03/02/motorola-rokr-e3-exclusive-pics/Mar 2nd 2006 12:30PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2006/03/02/motorola-rokr-e3-exclusive-pics/http://mobile.engadget.com/2006/03/02/motorola-rokr-e3-exclusive-pics/Mar 2nd 2006 12:58PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2006/03/02/motorola-rokr-e3-exclusive-pics/http://mobile.engadget.com/2006/03/02/motorola-rokr-e3-exclusive-pics/
1. You fcuked up with the ROKR E1! Haven't you learn anything?
2. Ugly phones don't sell!
3. Re: The E3 mock up. Are you having a joke at our expense?

Heres a a little recipe. It's a recipe for success.
It's yours for free.

i. Take the slvr.
ii. Add a little depth to it.
iii. Stick some dedicated play buttons on the side.
iv. Add a 3.5mm headphone jack.
v. Bundle it with at least an 512mb external memory card.

Now lets rock!

As for the looks, the photos probably do not do it justice. They are clearly taken with a hard flash (in places) and will not compare to the marketing pics we're used to seeing. The back does look cool though.]]>Mar 5th 2006 9:08PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2006/03/02/motorola-rokr-e3-exclusive-pics/http://mobile.engadget.com/2006/03/02/motorola-rokr-e3-exclusive-pics/
"We are sorry, but because our STUPID engineers chose to implement the WORST storage card technology available today IN THE WHOLE WORLD, you will be severly restricted in your storage possibilities:
- you have at best 8 times less storage capacity to store your favorite music, movies and pictures
- of the standard cards you may already own, NONE will fit into this device
- you will need yo buy many more sub-standard cards if you wish to exchange data between this device and all those you may already own
- your pictures will take up to 10x more time to be saved to the card
- your movies will take up to 1 min or even a lot more time to be saved to the card
- your cards will cost you more
- you will be severly restricted to find new cards
- the maximum card capacity (technology limit) will be a lot less than that of competing products
- etc."


Note that microSD used to be called TransFlash. This is EXACTLY the same technology, it's just a name change.
