[PainKiller]

hey read Time of india....moto is lauching iTunes mobile phone later this week...i think ur current affairs knoledge is a bit on lower side :roll:

 

[Charley]

Dont u point ur finger at someone trying 2 help u ... Really absurd.

If u have seen it in the TOI, then why didnt u mention the set which u wanna know. Instead u make up somethg and accuse ...

THE SET YOUR LOOKING FOR IS MOTO E 790 and not the umpteen sets u mentioned above.

I've already mentined the set which the bloke needs. He isnt aware of what he saw in the paper and writes models which r existant.

Mind ur words. U didnt even know which model u wanted to knw abt the release. Perhaps u shud post correct info from any source so that u get ur info.

 

[Raaabo]

Alright, enough bickering...

@painkiller : If you don't know something yourself, you do not get the right to insult others about not knowing.

@mail2and : I expect a lot politer posts from you, and I know you are capable of doing so, that's why you have the Brainiac badge Be a little more patient!

@achacko@dataone.in : Chill out, there's tonnes of stuff we all don't know. no need to lose your cool!

Now play nice all of you!

[infra_red_dude]

raaabo the refree!!! hehe....

yeah moto and apple are coming out wid the phone. its got some cool features! but i guess it'd be quite expensive.

 

[Nemesis]

Yes, I edited the thread title in accordance with the new phone that was announced by Apple and Motorola yesterday. It is the iTunes phone and the official name is the "Motorola ROKR E1"

Follow this link to get more info on the phone:

*direct.motorola.com/ENS/web_producthome.asp?Country=USA&language=ENS&productid=29790

It has iTunes, uses microSD/TransFlash cards and has stereo speakers (22khz). I believe it's just an upgrade to the E398 as the ROKR shares looks and a whole bunch of features with it.

It costs $249 with a new 2-year contract with Cingular Wireless. So I expect the unlocked version to cost around $450-500 which tranlsates to a price of about 20-25k as and when it launches in India.

Oh man this thread was really a hot one
at last Raaabo and Nemi cooled it


and Nemi thanks for the Motorola ROKR E1 link

this new phone is really supreme

 

[mail2and]

eek... sorry raaaabo...


btw, ROKR is just a modified version of the e398 which supports video recording and carries a 512 mb T Flash card... not to mention the 262k colour screen.. it is retailing for $250 currently which means when it'll be out here in november-december, it'll cost around 13-15k.

ofcourse it has itunes and i guess they have solved theBT issues that were present on e398...

all in all a gr8 buy!

@mail2and

will this phone be better than nokia's 6680 in any way ?

 

[Nemesis]

Andy, it is $249 with a 2-year contract!! The unlocked version will cost at least $200 more than the one that Cingular is selling. Beesides, SE launched the W800i at the 24k price point (if I'm not mistaken) so I doubt if the ROKR will cost less than 20k at launch. We have to wait and see how the iTunes integration works. Everyone knows that iTunes for Windows is a memory hog

Let's hope it doesn't do the same with the ROKR

 

[mail2and]

nemi.. itunes runs beautifully on os x

and ROKR duznt run windows

as blade said, it's more likely to be a J2me app..

The Motorola ROKR doesn't have any expandable memory via Memory Cards
see at ROKR Home

Also, it stores only 100 songs & it accepts songs only from iTunes on PC/Mac, & its reported that its interface doesn't work properly, meaning that the song pause on a call & then resume after call is buggy, you can read about it at <Link Removed> No advertizing of personal sites.
-Nemesis

IMHO, the Sony Ericsson W800i(Walkman phone) is a much better choice & good investment, as the interface is slick & quick, comes with a 512MB card & the music pause & play is good, so far, I've yet to come across a negative review on it.

 

[PainKiller]

hey all,

i was really busy searchin the net for the new motorola rokr (finally i got the name right) a lot has changed since the last post....

* mr admin has changed the title of the post...which is good
* there is a bit of controversy between me, achack n mail2and over the posts

ok...let me clear a few doubts...i didnt posted my comments to insult any1..so if any1 feel insulted...im sorry....secondly...i asked for the info about the new moto phone becuase nobody was sure about its name..some ppl called it e398 with itunes/e370/i398....and finally when it come out...it is motorola ROKR..so i was a little confused at the start (not any more).

as far as the price goes...i think its gonna b between $200-$250 bracket..im just wandering when it will come to india....any info

once again, i have no hard feelings for achack nor i tried to insult him (shh...i think he's banned now )
