 At first a great phone, after several months of normal cell phone use, bad phone. August 23, 2010
Jason
I have had my E8 Rokr for about 8 to 10 months now and have been pretty satisfied for what I needed in a cell phone. The Mp3 player on this phone rivals most high-end Mp3 phones I've seen including iPhone. The sound quality is very good. Although I have put up with the phones lagging and response delay, I have just recently experienced the keypad problems. The keypad is not a normal pad where you type what you need with buttons. It is a virtual sort of pad that changes modes to fit whatever task's you're performing on the screen. Three big keypad buttons have stopped working. My menu pad, my backspace pad and my #4 pad that also has my 'ghi' numbers for text, which I cannot use anymore. Unless you get a warranty or insurance on this phone, you're pretty much going to be stuck with buying a new phone. I do not like this phone anymore and the only reason I have given The Rokr two stars, is because I am big into music and the Mp3 player will be the only thing that I will miss when I drop kick this phone into the trash can.
Phone Is Not Responsive to Touch November 24, 2009
Music Fan (NYC)
As other reviewers have indicated, the processor sometimes freezes up, which means that when you press a button, there can be a delay before the phone processes that the button has actually been pressed. The delays can be as short as a second or two, or can last for close to a minute. This is particularly frustrating when a call is coming in and you press (and press and press) "answer", but the phone does not answer the call and it bounces into voice mail. This doesn't seem to relate to using the memory to store music, since I don't have any music stored on my phone. If I had known that I wouldn't be able to answer many incoming calls and would have problems using the buttons to make calls, I never would have bought the phone. Super frustrating. I'm sending it back to Motorola to see if they can fix the problem, but since a number of people have commented on this, I'm not expecting any miracles.
Nice phone slow processor June 8, 2009

In general the features on this phone are well done. Things are pretty intuitive and well thought out. The display is ok for a smaller display. I really like that key pad is easy to feel and totally closed from dust. Motorola's click/scroll wheel which is intended to be similar to the one found on an ipod is ok but seriously lacks something when compared with an ipod.
My biggest gripe is that the processor on the phone is a bit on the slow side. Every now and then the display looks frozen and the buttons don't do anything. Give the phone a few seconds and it catches up with you, whatever you last typed or the last command you gave the phone actually happens, just after a short delay.
Oh you, call quality is good and (my last phone was a smart phone)I think battery life is fantastic.
 If You buy this on Amazon, you are getting a great deal. March 31, 2009

I'm just going to sum this phone up in a few sentences. First, it looks great. It has a simple, yet elegant design. Next, it has good performance. While it's not as great as most Sony Ericsson phones, you won't receive too much lag, especially after you add more memory. Lastly, the battery is very good, and easily only needs to be plugged in once a day for an hour or so.
Pros- Decent Music Player
2mp Camera can create high resolution pictures, though they aren't amazing.
True Headphone Jack
2gb On board memory, expandable to 6gb.
Great battery Life
Scroll Wheel:Better than iPod wheel
Cool morphing keyboard.
Cons- Music player lags sometimes
Camera has no flash, and needs one
Faux Buttons are hard to text with, lag sometimes
Durability is questionable; Screen scratches easily; Definately buy a protector
3-d like menu lags to point of uselessness; Use one of the other menu options instead.
OVERALL- I can't really recommend this phone to one specific audience, except for those who want a little bit of everything on their phone, in which case, this is a great buy.
 good for music March 30, 2009

I researched in the web for several weeks for a good unlocked phone with some real good music. I couldn't figure out which phone to buy but when i got this i knew it was the one I was looking for. With ipod quality music in headset n best in the inbuilt speaker this phone gives you rid of carrying two gadgets in your two pockets. The new keypad system that the motorolla introduced in this phone is real unique.
But if you are looking for a good camera phone its maynot be for you. The 2 megapixel camera is not so worthy and gives an average quality picture.
Over all its not so expensive so guys go for it n give a try. You will then have a most coolest phone among your frens(provided non of your frens have iphone) just kiding......
