This is an old phone from Motorola ROKR E1. I just want to know about this cell phone & this review can be archived at Cell Phone Hits. The first phone with Apple’s iTunes music player software. This bar-style tri-band GSM phone also features built-in stereo speakers, a VGA camera with flash, Bluetooth, microSD (TransFlash) memory card slot, speakerphone, and an airplane mode
Motorola ROKR E1 review by MobileBurn “There is much to like about the ROKR E1. Its stereo speakers, rhythm lights, and haptics system are great entertainment when hooked up with the iTunes application and the standard media player. But the 100 song limit on the iTunes app is going to be a real issue to some, and Motorola might have a hard time getting people excite over a VGA camera – even if it is a good VGA camera.”

“As for the rest of the iTunes experience, it is comfortably similar to that of an iPod; hit the dedicated iTunes button on the ROKR and you pop into a typical iTunes interface, with options to view songs by artist, album, or title, or to shuffle songs. When you play songs, album art appears on the phone’s screen, as well.”
Motorola ROKR E1 review by Cnet
“The iTunes experience on the Rokr is remarkably similar to the iPod’s, so there is instant familiarity for iPod owners. Opening the player takes you straight to the music library, where you can organize songs by playlist, artist, album, and name. Under the Playlists option, you’ll see transferred playlists, plus one called Mobile Phone, which holds the songs created by the convenient iTunes’ Autofill feature.”
Motorola ROKR E1 review by Mobiledia “Part of a new family of Motorola music-focused phones, the ROKR E1 is being the first phone shipped to store shelves. Resembling the Motorola E398 released last year, the ROKR E1 is virtually identical, except with the addition of Apple’s iTunes software. Featuring basic functionality, a sub-standard camera, and a typical set of applications, the ROKR’s features are mediocre. Even the focus of the phone, the iTunes software, was crippled; limiting the ROKR to only 100 songs. A byproduct of corporate negotiating, Apple didn’t want the ROKR to take away profits from its iPod portfolio.”
