The Motorola ROKR E8 is also known as Moto ROKR E8. It is a GSM or GPRS camera phone that has easy to use controls, which allow a quick transition from the phone to an MP3 player and to an imaging device.
This phone has an interesting backlight touch keyboard, a two-megapixel camera with 262K-color display using QVGA, 2 GB of micro SD memory card, and an internal memory of 2 GB. The MOTO ROKR E8 also has a 3.5 mm jack for headphones and an FM radio. The navigation device of this phone is called ‘the Omega Wheel”. The Omega Wheel is used for menu navigation and for music. The phone is also equipped with controls that give the user a vibration feedback whenever a particular key is pressed.
Motorola designed this phone to make the life of consumers easy and satisfying. The company used a ModeShift technological breakthrough that is only from Motorola. The "quad band" GPRS or EDGE device in the Motorola ROKR E8 presents consumers or users with the controls that they need. This makes the transition from phone to music player to imaging device as simple as a touch of a button.
The user can just place their thumb across the "Fast Scroll Navigation Wheel" in order to search for music, contacts, calendar and multimedia. Searching 
for sounds is for music mode and the phone mode is for contacts and calendar searches, while under the imaging mode are multimedia searches. This phone is truly a blend of science and the arts.
Motorola ROKR E8 has a sleek face that has a seamless panel. This phone features the very first "Haptic Touch Pad" which is only done by Motorola. As written above, the haptic touch pad gives the user a warning every time they press or touch any virtual button. It produces a feedback in the form of vibration.
The ROKR E8 is really intended for music that is why this phone enables the ultimate freedom of the user to download songs fro a lot of sources. It is also well suited with the typical soft wares, connectors and accessories. This phone is compatible with Windows Media Player version 11 on the Persona Computer. This allows the user to transfer their favorite sons and videos onto their cellular 
phone. This device also has access to more than 250 music stores online and the drag-and-drop technique of organizing the songs albums, artists, genres and the playlists itself. Downloading and discovering the latest music has never been this easy! This is don with the E8's FM Radio. This built-in radio has a Song ID that displays and distinguishes “tune information”. This so-called “tune information” is dependent upon its network or SIM card and is not available in other areas.You can share music with friends over the speaker and the stereo Bluetooth technology.
The Moto ROKR E8 supports the Bluetooth AVRCP and A2DP profiles. To use the Bluetooth devices properly in order to share files, the users must have the same profile in their Bluetooth device. Visit the official Motorola website to determine which profiles are supported by Motorola. Some Bluetooth features including the ones listed above can also be unsupported by all the compatible Bluetooth-enabled devices. There may also be cases wherein the functionality of a certain feature is limited in certain cellular phones or devices and/or even the user's wireless carrier. When this problem occurs, contact the wireless carrier that you're using and ask about the feature's functionality and availability.
