Motorola ROKR E8 First Impression Cell Phone Review - Intro

Motorola's ROKR E8 is a basic candybar with a context-dependent keypad. This keypad is really the star of the device, offering localized haptic feedback that really feels like hitting a regular phone key. The device is a multimedia-focused handset, and delivers good functionality in a flashy package. Backing it up is 2GB of internal memory that can be augmented by a Micro SD card. The rest of the software seems reminiscent of the Razr2 suite, offering above average PIM management, but nothing quite up to business-user standards. The price has yet to be announced, but we're guessing it'll be pricey as we haven't seen a high end Rokr on any carriers so you'll be stuck with imports.
