to tell u truely Dont buy moto rokr e6
i think u shud be much inspired by the ads but strictly dont go for MOTO

Go for it, its an awesome device, I bought it a month back and am loving it. The Basic version comes with 1GB SDcard without the Snoop S9 wireless receiver priced at around 13k and the Premium version comes with 2GB SDcard with the S9 at around 16k. The S9 is great if you're still, say sitting, driving, riding etc but not when walking, it tends to lose connectivity randomly. I used stereo headphones when walking but S9 otherwise.

If you want a video review, got to youtube and search for MotoRokr E6, there's plenty of them.

Featurewise:
• Linux OS (which pwnz other Os's like symbian, windows, etc )
• Premium entertainment PDA at only 14.5 millimeters thick
• 2-megapixel CMOS camera with 8x digital zoom to capture the moment
• CIF and QVGA video capture for up to five hours
• Full screen video playback
• Integrated MP3 player with dedicated music keys and built-in FM radio
• PDA featuring Business Card Reader, POP3 e-mail¹, document viewer to view Microsoft Word, Excel, etc., PIM
• Connectivity includes integrated stereo Bluetooth® wireless technology³, HTML browser, hi-speed USB 2.0 EMU, 3.5 millimeter stereo jack
• Removable memory card slot, up to 2GB full SD card support; 8MB dynamic user memory4
• Extended 1000mAh battery life for long usability
• Brilliant 2.4-inch 240 x 320, 262K colors TFT external display with the latest touch screen technology

And speaking from experience, I will surely say this phone really ownz. There's lot of good developers and hackers out there doing very neat applications and code for this phone. Don't look beyond MotorolaFans and ModmyMoto for these stuff. The community is great as usual.

As for me, I got some 50 games, 15 movies, 80 songs, some 50 odd apps on the phone on my 2GB mmc

And yes, I've hacked it to my liking, unlocked EDGE, Quad-Band, Custom skins & splash, Unbranded firmware, and many more.

Being a Linux enthusiast myself, I will say this is a PC which also makes phone calls

PS: And for the laughs, I also got DOS, Turbo C, C++ and Windows 3.1 installed LOL

I don't think he against it, just doesn't prefer it, as with most of us Indians

India is a Nokia country, satisfied with our MEGAPIXEL cameras lol

Everything works man, don't worry, no issues with webcam. I bought it for some odd 16k bucks. And don't completely depend on my advice, maybe coz I use Linux on my PC too, I get over-excited at the prospects of Linux on other devices. But most of what I said is true.

Maybe wait for some other freaky-styley weird headed MotoFan like me to reply here

Ya hitbox u r rght India is a typical NOKIA country , i know the standard of nokia outside india , ppl here are vry happy wid its 1 megapixel cam. even 1.3 megapixel cam of moto or sony ericson beats nokia's 2 megapixel cam handsdown .

[Ganeshkumar]

But Azzu.....
We want u to comment WAT is BAD in ROKR E6.....

Really I like that fone and will get in a month...........

EVEN A BLACKBERRY OWNER WILL SHUT THE MOUTH IF HE SEES IT

Think.... U Have DOS in ur Phone... u r opening some dos games n playing in it.... And many Hacks r coming for it......!

As said by Hitbox.. It is a g8 Phone...

some pros n cons r discussed here for ROKR E6..
*www.motorolafans.com/forums/showthread.php?t=12918

I dont know abt other Moto Phones... But ROKR E6 is a very GOOOD ONE!!!

As far as Camera is concerned... It is a good one though v could not say it as excellent! and Webcam quality is better tooo.. This is wat i heard!

 

[cooldudie3]

I think MOTO ROKR E6 is a gr8 fone. The music and Linux is gr8!!!

 

[azzu]

yup motorokr is a great phone (not so great music phone)
i want to say its best for the geek who can play with mobiles software and patch it,customize it do wat ever.But for the non geeks its tuff coz many wud know installing linux is big trouble for many newbies then customizing linux on mobile tuffer job only for newbie's.Ya its a great fully customizable fone. I suggested NOKIa and SE for there user friendly features and MUSIC ,style etc..
but still it's on to u DUDE

 

[Ganeshkumar]

And u r g8!... finally agreeed!

Real Problem with ROKR E6 is U need both the hands to msg.... So it is not a good fone for frequent msgers...

 

[azzu]

^^ and also for non-geeks its tuff to custmize the fone

 

[the great one]

Thnks 2 everyone (azzu, ganesh,cooldudie,cool g5,hitbox) i hav finally made up my mind i will go 4 a moto rokr E6 .
thnks 4 ur valueable advice guys.
Fianally azzu u hav admitted dat e6 is a gud phone.
Thnks anyways guys.
Will get in touch wid u ppl wen i really get to lay my hands on the phone , anybody there expecting a price cut in nxt 15-20 days.

 

[Pathik]

Get a rokr e6... nothing bad in it... You can get the basic version for 11k..
You can mod it to a great extent as it runs on a linux OS..

 

[Ganeshkumar]

^^^ But pathiks I dont think E6 Basic version wuld be that cheap 11k Rs.
In Wavetel for the past 5 months it is constantly at Rs.13.8K....
Is there any place wherei can get really that cheap with Bill! ??

@ the great one:
U r welcome frnd!!

And I am too planning to get that phone for the past 50 days!
And Expecting price cut b4 this festive season!
I think it is better to wait for price cut as one of my frnd has bought Moto Razr a year back and within a week he bought Motorola reduced the price by 1.5K!
And another thing v shld c is... there is really no competition for this phone @ this price in other brands...! So for me there is a doubt of price cut toooo!

 

[azzu]

ok ok that's good me too wanna get this fone
will get it soon
