Those mobile phones are so out of my price range that I can't even begin to comment on which to buy. I'd be truly blessed to have either one of them.

[Levy2k6]

i rather have the motorola but i rather other expensive phones...

[sprezzatura]

I prefer the first one better, though the price is still expensive. You don't need ALL THAT functions to survive, I mean my cell phone is way less functioned than any of those two. And the Motorola one is better looking too.

[bonluvdan]

the first one, motorola, it's price is on average. every mobile phones are nearly the same price. and this can consider as ok/cheap in HK. (NOT only consider by me, myslef)


i admit the second one, sharp, is rather expensive.
but it got 3G and great music.



well...yeah.

[emazing]

Uh, d'oh. A motorola phone with iTunes, that'd keep me amused through the day.

[uLoVeMikeRoch]

NOT THE ROKR. DID YOU NOT SEE THE THREAD ON THAT PHONE! I gave specific information on all of the features of this phone. Don't get it. If your going to get a phone, get either the Sony Ericsson K750i or the Nokia n1, l1 or whatever it's called. Or if you can afford it, get a phone from korea and hack it to work with Sim card. (Pretty Easy)

Also, half your facts on the Rokr are wrong.

The list of specs and features are taken nearly word-for-word from Motorola's website.

Hmm, well I guess Motorola Lied when they explained the features right before it came out. *shurg*

What exactly is incorrect?

[*tweeak*]

nearly $4000 dollars?! holy shit, how about you spend that money on something more worthwhile?

Hong Kong dollars, dear.

Still...US$500 is quite pricey for a cellphone...

[*tweeak*]

Oh, wow, I completely didn't see that

That Sharp phone is hot.. but it costs a lot.

Is the stereo separation in the built in speakers significant enough for it to actually sound like stereo, or is it pretty much pointless?<br /><br />The speakers are great (for a cellphone), but it’s hard to get a decent stereo effect from them since they’re less than two inches away from each other.<br /><br />Bluetooth stereo headphones?<br /><br />Won’t work with them, sad to say, the ROKR E1 doesn’t support A2DP or any other stereo Bluetooth profiles.<br /><br />Sound quality?<br /><br />Sound quality is superb, among the best we’ve heard in a musicphone.<br /><br />Song transfer time?<br /><br />It took about 42 minutes to transfer 100 songs. The ROKR only has USB 1.1, so it takes an unreasonably long time to copy stuff over.<br /><br />What happens when you get a call? Does auto-resume work as advertised?<br /><br />Yup, it does automatically pause when you get a call. Doesn’t actually auto-resume when your call is over, you do have to click to have the music restart.<br /><br />How much memory does the phone have?<br /><br />It comes with a 512MB TransFlash memory card and a piddly 5MB of internal memory.<br /><br />Does it sync with iCal?<br /><br />It syncs with both Address Book and iCal. The E1’s datebook can be a little (read: a lot) tough to find.<br /><br />What is iTunes like synching over Bluetooth?<br /><br />You can’t sync iTunes over Bluetooth.<br /><br />Can I load more than 100 songs on the memory card?<br /><br />Yes, you could use a card reader to copy more than 100 songs to the card, but iTunes on the phone won’t play them. You’d have to use the phone’s other media player.<br />Is there an unlocked version available?<br /><br /><br />Not to our knowledge.<br /><br />Can it sync photos with iPhoto?<br /><br />Not that we could find.<br /><br />Can you use songs as ringtones?<br /><br />No, and it’s a little frustrating, too. They probably did this so that Cingular could protect its ringtones business.<br /><br />My question is what the hell is the rest of the OS like? Does it have a scheduler? A calculator? An alarm clock? Does it have profiles that can be set automatically at different (a feature I loved about my SK2 that I broke without insurance on it!!!) times of the day?<br /><br />The rest of the OS is pure Motorola, i.e., it’s incredibly pedestrian. It does have a scheduler, a calculator, and an alarm clock. It does not have profiles.<br /><br />Can it receive email?<br /><br />Yup.<br /><br />What kind of address book does it have?<br /><br />A basic on that’s similar to those found in other Motorola phones.<br /><br />How do you play, pause, stop, rewind, FF songs?<br /><br />There are two softkeys on the phone, you use the same key to both play and pause songs. You use the mini joystick to fast-forward and rewind, and you can also use that joystick to play songs while you’re navigating your collection (just keep clicking to the right).<br /><br />Can you rate the songs?<br /><br />Not as far as we could tell.<br /><br />Can you bypass the 100 song limit by making one very very very very long song?<br /><br />Yep.<br /><br />Can I plug in regular headphones with a 3.5mm jack?<br /><br />It comes with an adapter so you can use it with regular headphones.<br /><br />How is the transition from menu to menu? Quick and seamless or kind of slow?<br /><br />It’s far more sluggish than it should be and occasionally is only barely acceptable.<br /><br />Does the phone have a flight mode/profile that allows the media player to be run with the phone bit switched off (such as with the W800)?<br /><br />Yes, it does.<br /><br />How is the other MP3 player that is built into the ROKR?<br /><br />The UI is pretty sucky, to be honest, but at least there isn’t a cap on the number of songs you can listen to.<br />How does that other MP3 player interact (if at all) with the iTunes functionality of the phone?<br /><br /><br />It doesn’t at all.<br /><br />Is it easy to transfer MP3s to the phone outside of the iTunes function?<br /><br />Not sure how you’d define easy, but you can pop out the TransFlash card and directly copy MP3s from a PC using an SD card reader and a TransFlash card adapter.<br /><br />Would you buy one of these phones?<br /><br />Nope.<br /><br /><!-- end code provided by createblog.com -->

Did codebox to save room


The phone is 250, where did you get 500?

Also, remember that this is from BEFORE the phone actually was released to the public. A week or so before I think.

So...again...what in there is contrary to the printed specs on the webpage?
