Motorola EM35 - User Reviews

  • What series is ths?

  • I m from Chennai India. M interested in buying rokr em35, not available in India. Ebay USA has it for US$99 (good price, I think ), n shipping to India totals $150 - Rs 7k ( not worth it at this price). Anyone interested to get it too? Can anyone suggest someone returning to India from US who can help us get the phone, pls... Ct [email protected]

  • i need to increase volume for my phone

  • wow but thank you.

  • i want review of motorola em35

  • Thanks a lot for your review, it helped me a lot, i'm thinking about buying this phone but now i changed my mind. Thanks!

  • hi i'm thinking of buy this em35.. wolud you recomend me it?? I need the opinion from someone who had used it.. thanks

  • Hello. I bought this phone in May, so i've been dealing with it for a considerable time. It's a good phone, nothing more. Lots of gadgets but many lacks of functionality. For example, the scroll wheel (wich allows you iPod's style navigation) sometimes stops working; the only solution is restarting the phone. Missing calls: many times, i receive calls (i can see in the display that someone is calling me) but the the ringtone doesnt's play (no sound), then i take the call but no one answers. That person must call me again, always. Lost of calls missed because of that. Upgrading the SD memory: i changed the standard 2GB SD Card for a 8GB and a 16GB. When you use the mp3 player with many files, the phone works very slow, you have to wait up to 5 seconds from the end of a song to the begining of the next track, or for example if you want to send a text message, the amount of time to access the create message window is very long. It's a little dissapointing because the most important reason that made me buy this phone was the external memory capability. I've also had problems with the headphones, nice surround sound but very poor construction quality, two pairs broken in just six months. And the cable is too long; if you are distracted, it stucks with furniture borders, with machines if you are in the gym working out or even with other persons, for example in the bus or metro. Bluetooth: recently, a friend brought a MOTOROKR Bluetooth S9-HD headphones from USA and i borrowed, to try in the gym and while i'm running in the park, but it doesn't work well with the EM 35, i've got constant interrupts of sound, while other workmates (with others cellphones) tried the same and worked propertly. Another dissapointing issue of my phone. Regards for you all from Buenos Aires, Argentina.

  • because this is musice phone

  • the camera is very week...

  • SAHIR the display of the z6 is 2.0 inches and em35 is 2.2 inches

  • ok. the cell is great !!! but, very dificult !!! (said Tevez)

  • i will buy this cell instantly but i need some info about it specially from the people those who own this cell...plz answer these questions 1- Does it have the same display quality which Motorola given in rocker z6 bcz i am very concerned about display quality 2 - How is the messaging and security option,can we block sms and calls from other user or can we set password on different location in this cell ? waiting patiently for ur replies...

  • If u need wifi, get either VE66 (practically the same as EM35, minus the 3.5mm plug) or Zn5 (which offers 3.5mm plug, a much better cam, and "almost" as good music quality)

  • great phone!, i love it!, good motorola, you are in the right way....maybe it would be nice to get wifi on this phone but nothing more...GPS its no necesary...and 3G its expensive!!!! too much!!!....so wifi and this would be the perfect phone....always motorola doing beautifull phones!, i hate my N95....but i need wifi.... :(

  • is this phone gd? i've never owned a motorola phone b4 n i dont want to purchase a sucky phone. currently i'm looking for a phone that has great sound quality n looks gd. apparently this phone caught my attention...any suggestions? =)

  • fine Moto. Looks to me like it needs be Technologically one step ahead. WiFi is needed(thats just one). Motorola has to be more competitive, this is particular product does't meet the requirements of the present generation.

  • nice

  • duel speaker great sound

  • motos are getting better and better everyday i hope motorolas will rise to the top class in the cellular market .

  • duel spraker are very loud and nice qulity moto rokers are beter than walkman se series

  • this phone have good duel spraker

  • Official suggested retail is around USD$240 in Hong Kong, though most places...after you "ask" for a better deal, one can get for around USD$190.

  • Sorry, not at this moment, and I did struggle a bit due to its color (why make it red only? At least green/lime/yellow would be better!)

  • is any difrerent color for em35

  • I just had a chance to try continuous music playback on my EM35, which was probably "ok" at around 3 hours. For other pros and cons on this phone, I believe I wrote similar comments in earlier posts and suggest you to scroll back.

  • Motorola ROKR EM35 Features Delivers incredible audio with virtual stereo surround sound, built-in dual speakers, stereo Bluetooth and 3.5mm stereo wired headphones Enhanced CrystalTalk technology amplifies conversations and helps reduce background noise Access, discover, preview and purchase music from the phone or a PC, get artist information, share favorite tracks with friends, gift tracks from the EM35 and watch videos and free podcasts Windows Media Player 11 manages music on a PC Integrated FM antenna enables FM radio to be played over stereo Bluetooth or external stereo speakers without the use of a headset Built-in FM radio with Radio Data System (RDS) technology to identifying songs and artists easy by displaying available FM station information like song, artist and genre Optional 32GB microSD removable storage card stores favorite songs FastScroll navigation wheel quickly accesses content and search for music (music mode), calendar (phone mode) and multimedia (imaging mode)

  • The Motorola ROKR EM35 has CrystalTalk technology, making a difference in conversation clarity by reducing background noise. A second microphone eliminates more background noise from the call. The ROKR EM35 has dedicated keys to launch and control music. Users can listen via the built-in dual speakers, stereo Bluetooth wireless technology or 3.5mm stereo wired headphones. With the FastScroll navigation wheel, users can access the music library by moving just a thumb. Sliding the phone open, customers can send a text or surf the web while listening to music, or to pause the music and make a phone call. Pre-installed and downloadable widgets provide real-time information such as weather, sports scores, stock tickers, flight information, social media, news headlines and more. An integrated FM radio with Radio Data System (RDS) technology identifies songs and artists by displaying song, artist and genre.

  • Hello friends... Can any one tell me about its battery back up who have experienced with this phone.. How many hours does it support for music play back.. Express some good and bad things about this phone.. What would be the cost of this phone in India is released in market..

  • Sorry, can't comment and compare with VE66, as VE66 is not available where I live. Even so, with possible price tag of US$100 more, I doubt I would get a VE66, especially when I have both EM35 & A3100 already.

  • so the FW is very snappy?? that's really nice... btw, are the camera settings like in VE66?

  • One more issue: The volume via headphone (stock one that came with the phone) is a bit low in most cases. In absolutely quiet environment, I can't hear any music with volume setting from 1-10 (hence making these setting uesless). Volume has to be at least 13 or so (out of 20) to be heard. In noisy environment (like the busy streets in metropolitan cities), I usually set the volume to 17, which would then be "ok". Setting at 20 would be quite loud for hearding with headphones being plugged directly into the ears, as I also believe any volume higher than 20 may damage one's ears. (maybe Moto purposely designed so to avoid possible lawsuits in US) Volume setting for radio is different from music, which is the same as other previous Moto phones. Also just learned about the Crystal Talk setting can be changed...by default the setting is Clear, (vs. Normal), then Crisp and Bright. I just changed to "Bright" and will test it later with my friend...who I always call to test my Moto phones!

  • Both are no longer issues for EM35...indeed, sometimes I find the phone reacts "too fast" that I purposely turn off the scroll wheel. Some "not exactly good points" for EM35 are: 1)The cursors are too close with the scroll wheel, which means navigating the cursor may touch the scroll wheel and vice versa 2)The "up" cursor doesn't response too well...again due to the fact buttons are too small and sensitive. Pressing up may end up being "enter" 3)Can't remember for E8, though EM35 cannot display both the song's name and the artist's name "at the same time", unlike my Zn5. (maybe due to the small screen on EM35 4)The "hole" for the strap is on the bottom of the phone, meaning it was designed to hang the phone on the neck, instead of in a pouch around the waist (which I personally prefer) PS. I wonder what happened to the guy who doubted my ownership of EM35 earlier...any response?

  • I am using Rokr E8 now and Its a masterpiece except two flaws. i wanted to know does EM35 carry the same or are they rectified? 1) The interface is very slow 2) Phone doesn't Ring and vibrate at the same time. Though it has vibrate then ring, I wanted vibrate and ring feature. Please clarify so that I can go ahead and purchase the phone.

  • The Motorola ROKR is the world?s first ever music phone featuring the Apple iTunes? mobile music player allowing you to take your favorite playlists - featuring full length tracks - wherever you go in one convergence product at the touch of a single dedicated iTunes button. Advanced stereo and lighting technology offer amazing sound and delivers reactions you can see and feel. The Motorola ROKR will have you seamlessly grooving to a new beat!

  • excellent

  • pls answer my qustion in a1800 forum i want buy a1800 or maybe a1600 is they good phone i know em35 is excellent music phone but its not avalible here(iran) for we moto fan

  • Can you elaborate if you want to know more about EM35 or A1800? For A1800, kindly repost your article in the A1800 forum, as this forum is for EM35 only.

  • You can find 2 mini-reviews with pictures on MMUS.us, made for as by tommy & djdownhill :

  • excelent music phone beter than walkman and experes music series

  • This phone is already available in Hongkong and mainland China. The review of this phone you can see at www.mmus.us. A member named DJDownhill even flied from LA to Hongkong just to buy this phone.The music player interface is so damn cool.

  • r6743_g_74.12.02rox is what's shown on MY EM35 Still can't understand why someone doubts my ownership of the phone...

  • tommy or 100 Moto!can you please post some videos on youtube?? there are none!that's bad!videos would be so great! thanks in advance

  • The code is: *#9999#

  • Within Properties, there are only: Hardware Version Tenchonloy Data Ready Sync Ready Browser Ready MP3 Ready SMS Ready EMS Ready Fax Ready Browser Info And the code you gave doesn't work.

  • its eraly a good handset i realy like that handset . i was realy want to buy that type of handset... regards harry

  • either go to settings-> phone settings-> properties either type #9999# on main screen(not sure this was the code)

  • tommy!what do you mean with china mobile branded?

  • So how can I view the firmware version of my phone?

  • Only has "preset" ones like Classic, Rock, Dance, Latin, etc...

  • I was trying to install telnet, and BAM! But it's revived now..... Only it's china mobile branded.....but It's alive so I can reflash now!!!!!!!! YAY!!!!

  • tommy i am Arcail on mmus How the heck did you brick the phone?

  • @ 100 Moto..... Can you extract the firmware from your em35 for me? I can tell you how if you will do so....... It is very easy and will in no way harm your phone. Mine is stuck in the splash screen at the moment..... If people are doubting you in having the em35, this will also provide proof, and I will vouch for you!

  • @ 100 Moto..... Can you extract the firmware from your em35 for me? I can tell you how if you will do so....... It is very easy and will in no way harm your phone. Mine is stuck in the splash screen at the moment..... If people are doubting you in having the em35, this will also provide proof, and I will vouch for you!

  • Good question GTX... I think tweaking the EQ (manualy, not only presets) is a standard option for a music phone.

  • Can you tweak the EQ?(e8 didn't have this option)

  • What can you expect from those who reviews mid-low end (or almost everything) other brands make except Moto? Around Jul / Aug last year I already advised both A1600 & A1800 were already available in mainland China, and requested the status be changed to "available", however...

  • For OS, can you elaborate how I can check? As normally I don't care much at all. Checked hardware version being SJUG5184AA. For EQ setting, can you elaborate what's on E8 (as I sold mine already) so I can compare with MY EM35. Don't / can't understand why you seem to doubt whether or not if I really own a unit of EM35....

  • FYI, EM35 sells for around USD$240 in HK, while Zn200 sells for USD$128. (most shops offer credit card specials for another US$20 off) In all cases all phones are unlocked without contract. Zn200 turned me off with its 2.5mm jack and low resolution screen. Otherwise it would be part of my Moto collection as well. This year I already bought a EM35, A3100 and K3 (as backup for my mom's V3maxx). Last year, I bought Q9h, K3, W510, W270, E8 (sold), K1, E6, Z8, V9, Zn5, A1600 (sold), V8, EM330...of course some for my parents / in-laws / wife.

  • What about its Battery life? Is it good? Having only 810 mah.

  • Why gsmarena stil show status - Coming soon... ? SURF, EM35, Tundra, W233 are all out and GSMArena stil shows coming soon status . Lolz! Wake Up :D .

  • well.. i am interested on sliding mobile phones design.. Most of Razr type i have it already (i am mobile phones collector). I like moto design very much and considering to purchase either EM35 or Zn200. In terms of design, i prefer Zn200 but in terms of function it is EM35 better. Mind if u guys let me know both price? In USD of course... Thanks

  • ZN200 has a nice design.But,it uses ODM system.It almost can't be modded.The interface isn't nice and slow.The sliding mechanism also seems loosing.ZN200 is only good at the price. EM35 should be a good choice for you.But,if you prefer style,Razr series will satisfy you.

  • Thanks Tommy.. Yea indeed EM35 looks cool in ur preview.. but instead of model i prefer Zn200. How bout price comparison? between both? the only things make me dislike EM35 is the keypad comes with silver.. i prefer all in black... I do choose my mobile phones very carefully not only terms of function but also aesthetics :) since i am designer as well

  • hey LOL....I personally like the em35 over the zn series phone. They are similar, but the em35 seems a bit more sturdy and advanced. Take a look at my review at and see what you think. I have a link directly to it in a few posts down.

  • This phone is really good, and thanks for adding credit to me for the mini review I did at the site. I mod phones constantly and this phone hasn't really needed anything done to it yet..... I'm sure I will start to program it soon enough, but I'm waiting for the Firmware to be leaked through MOTOROLA. So if anyone can get their hands on the FULL F/W...please come to mmus.us and give me a heads up. Thanks again everyone! Especially 100

  • EM35 short review (by tommy - mmus):

  • em35 is a phone whit music centric dual speaker and at compare whit Nokia 6303 : em35 has Dedicated music keys Navigation scroll wheel 6303 : no em35 :110 MB user available memory up to 16gb 6303 : 64 mb user available up to 4gb em35 is nice slider

  • got a question 100Moto is it true it runs on LJ 2.73? do you really have widgets? can you install more of them? and btw, do you have more eq presets than e8? thanks!

  • Speaker volume should be at least on par, if not slightly louder, than either V8 or Z6. (I don't have Z6, though I do have an Z3, which should be similar) Plus the vibration that comes with the loud speaker volume should help alert the user for incoming calls.

  • thanx for mini review. only thing i want to know is how loud is the loudspeaker volume. since it has got 2 of it, it shouldn't be a problem! but still is it louder than razr2 or z6(i own one)??? coz the speaker volume is kinda inadequate for me( i live in India) in my noisy environment.

  • I don't know exactly how to write a review, hence in general I would prefer you ask specific questions, then I'll try to get you the answer or my opinions about it. Overall through my subjective opinions: Advantages: Good voice quality (as almost always from Moto) Good radio without antenna Good speaker / music sound Available 3.5mm jack (don't take it for granted, as even certain I?music company still refuses to offer one) Large photo for photo caller ID Scroll wheel feels easier to control / manage than E8, which also can be turned "off". Disadvantages: D-pad isn't that good in terms of control with buttons being placed too close together. (Hitting the "up" cursor would easily touch the scroll wheel, hence I've my scroll wheel off most of the time) Camera isn't that great, no auto focus and no flash! (not that I take photos much with my phone, especially in the dark, rather I like using the flash as the torch)

  • Great phone!I hope it will come soon in my country.Someone knows when it comes out in Bulgaria?Everything in this phone is perfect,i hope that the batter life will be good too.

  • Quad band GSM/GPRS/ EDGE connectivity (850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900 MHz) 2.2 inch TFT display with 240 x 320 pixels and 262K colors Email, Instant Messaging Web browser Pre-installed and downloadable widgets Stereo Bluetooth Dual speakers for a stereo surround sound Windows Media Player 11 FM radio with RDS 3.1 MP camera with fixed focus 110MB of internal memory MicroSD and MicroSDHC card support, up to 32GB 116 grams 107 x 49.5 x 16 mm Talk-time: up to 6.6 hours Stand-by time: up to 400 hours

  • I agree. Please 100 Moto make an in-depth review of this phone. Thanks. :-) As of the moment, no review yet can be found on the internet.

  • 100 moto now that you had the em35 for some time,can you write a user review here? what is good and what not about this phone? and what did you like very much or hate? thanks in advance

  • Texting is ok, although my personal favorite is still my Moto V3maxx i-mode....nothing beats such large keypad. Of course, the keypad size on EM35 are "ok" compare to some other brands with ultra tiny buttons.

  • 100 Moto,How about texting with EM35? Is the keypad nice? How about sharing your experience in using EM35 at www.motohell.com? I really appreciate it.Thnx so much.

  • The correct display size is 240 x 320 pixels, 2.2 inches.

  • Can any one comment on Battery life? It seems poor having only 810 mah, How long it's music playback and talk time ,stand by time?

  • thanks from 100moto for review this phone and zn5 your our leader

  • dang i luv how the pone looks its hella klean i want buy it

  • Not sure if eprice of Taiwan has a review on it. Among the phone forums in HK, PhoneHK is the place. (only due to personal reason with admin, I no longer post anything there, including my personal comments on EM35)

  • since it is available in HK i guess there should be reviews floating around the net. i cant find one :D. probably it would be in chinese can u find some?!

  • Wow...Now I have no doubt that I would choose EM35.I'll wait it.Xie Xie,100 Moto.

  • Menu is so fast that I actually find the keys being a bit over-sensitive. 2 built-in themes are available: dark and light For FW version R6743_G_74.12.02R Yes, menu can be set to grid, list, or spinner. I'm so used to grid as I find getting through spinner actually takes longer. Now I wonder if anyone still doubts I've an EM35 or not...

  • Thanx,100 Moto for all your replies.I prefer music than camera so I would choose EM35. But I would miss the wi-fi feature. How about the menu in EM35? Is it fast? Can you tell me about the themes coming built-in on the phone? Can you make the menu in grid,list and spinner just like E8? Press *#9999# on the homescreen and post your FW version,please. Thanx for the replies,100 Moto...:)

  • You reminded me about my first "music" phone...Moto E398 from about 4 years ago. Back then I was already amazed when E398 already supported 128mb microSD cards....when certain almighty brand was still "struggling" with RSMMC or whatever else...when Moto was already steps ahead supporting microSD cards. 4 years afterwards we're talking at least 8GB, if not 16GB! As mentioned, I only put 8GB card in my EM35 now, as a 16GB card would cost me over US$60, which will likely drop half in about 6 months! Currently storing all of my favorite songs (plus lots of photos) only take a bit over 4GB.... Hope EM35 will be available where you live soon, so you can share your experience as well.

  • For review on Zn5, you can go to Mobile Review . com "please review zn5 about camera,camrecorder,speaker volume,speedy software phone, lcd clarity,..." Actually I haven't used the camera function on my Zn5 that much, as most of the time I still prefer to take photos with my Canon G9. Of course Zn5 can capture real "snapshot" way better than my first DC...Nikon 770 For music quality, if Moto's Rokr series like EM35/E8 gets A+, Zn5's music quality probably gets an A- or B+. Not that it's bad, just if you have tried something else being better, you would feel music quality on Zn5 being... Never try the camcorder quality at all, most reviews do mention camcorder quality is poor. Again, I would recommend video should be taken with either a real DC or camcorder...don't rely anything from any phone. Speaker volume is also "ok", rating is similar to music quality as mentioned above with EM35. Speed is ok, though I'm using an 8GB (when Moto officially only supports 4GB), "sometimes" it may lag once or twice. Overall should be ok. If you have been using Z8, which I also do, and if you can manage the different software on Z8 (which I "cannot"!), managing the software within Zn5 should be very easy. I can figure out most stuff like getting on WiFi without any instruction. (not that there is any to begin with!) For LCD clarity, as though Z8 has 16 million colors, probably due to larger screen size (or better resolution, which you can compare the actual specs here), the screen of Zn5 (both phones feature my beautiful wife photos!) looks a bit more clear / sharper.

  • Of course I own an EM35! I bought it last Thursday. Suggested retail price in HK is around US$240, inclusive of an H375 Bluetooth handsfree. If you have any other specific questions to be answer, kindly let me know.

  • Thanks a lot 100 Moto. I will surely buy this phone when it comes out. I had the chance to try a rokr e8 in a motorola store and i was impressed with its audio quality. Since em35 is at least equal to the sound quality of rokr e8, not to add that it's a slide phone, this definitely is going to be my next phone. I am currently using a samsung g600 which also has a nice sound quality but unfortunately cannot handle cards bigger than 2gb.

  • hi 100moto thanks for your answer to guys i have z8 8munth and good phone but iwant update phone to z10 and here in iran isnt z10 so i want buy tomorrow zn5 i heared that zn5 is best camera phone in world but camrecorder is poor ?! and mp3 player work very good like ipod ? 100moto i want a phone whit best camera and loud speaker please review zn5 about camera,camrecorder,speaker volume,speedy software phone, lcd clarity,... im waiting for your cerrect answer i only use motorola phone i love u bye

  • hey buddy do u own a moto em35.tell me abt it.is it available in market??

  • Speakers on EM35 are louder than Zn5, as mentioned, the speakers on EM35 are so loud they help to make the vibration stronger. Choosing between Zn5 and EM35 really depends on how you use the phone. If you take photos more often, no doubt about Zn5. If you want more music, go for EM35. Also, Zn5 "officially" supports 4GB card, when in reality it supports 8GB (which I'm using), though some may experience some lag. EM35 "officially" supports 16GB card, though this time I'm not sure if it unofficially supports 32GB, since I can't even afford a 16GB card at the moment. When I got my EM35, 8GB card costs around US$20, while 16GB card costs over US$60! Borrowing comments from our fellow Stuart from E8, the scroll wheel on EM35 gets you to the "destination" faster! (always like his analogy having the scroll wheel to work like a car, where one still has to "walk" to arrive the ultimate destination) The scroll wheel is probably the next best thing than touch screen when one needs to navigate over 8GB of media files.

  • Are the speakers really loud? I'm confused in choosing ZN5 or EM35. Em35 aren't available in my country. How's the speakers comparing with ZN5? I know that ZN5 has only one speaker but if EM35 is loud but not far too loud compares with ZN5,I would choose ZN5. I need your opinion,100 Moto.Thanx.

  • As though I owned E8 for a few months, I never got much chance to use it. From my subjective opinion, music quality on EM35 is "at least" on par with E8, if not any better. Suggest you try out a unit if you can. I only wish EM35 came in any other color...as red is really...(wasn't exactly pleased with the "green" on my Z8 to begin with)

  • thanks again 100 Moto. How does the audio quality compare with the rokr e8? are they the same or is em35 better?

  • thank 100 moto

  • Got the phone last week, but didn't have time to test it until yesterday. Speakers are quite loud, which makes some soft ringtone loud enough to be heard. Indeed, the speakers are so loud which helps to make the vibrate function even stronger. Music quality is among the best of Moto. (which can make my E2 semi-retire!) Personally I turn off the fast scroll wheel, though I'm sure once I put all the songs into the phone, I'll use it more often. Radio works without the headset antenna, and reception gets better with the headset antenna. Correcting what I mentioned earlier, as Moto's website in China mentioned the phone has Crystal Talk 2, though I can't really prove it. Spoke to my "designated" friend for phone testing, he thought it was ok...probably A- or A, (while flip phones with Crystal Talk like V8/K3 would get A+ or A++!) The "manual" keylock on the side works better than the "auto" keylock on my V8. If V8 gets A+ for reception, EM35 gets an A as well.

  • Thanks 100 Moto. Now if anyone would be kind enough to make a review of this phone, it will be appreciated. Thanks! I am thinking of buying this phone when it comes out here in the Philippines.

  • 2 speaker make loud sound

  • For people who bought it, How is the speakers quality? Is it loud? I'm thinking to buy it.

  • how is camera quality ?? anyone now ?

  • i will buy this rocker very good phone

  • its fire rocker vooooooooooooow

  • i love roker roooooooooooooock

  • sound is one off best

  • Hey people! why does motorola germany not bring phones like the em30,and now i read the em35 probably also not,to germany,when they bring phones like the aura?!?i mean who will buy these super expensive phones in times of a economical crisis and to a country where "greed is cool"is an important saying?they should instead bring phones for the masses!be more competitive in segments where they could sell more phones,like the music centric segment! everybody says how bad motorola is doing,but they are doing one big mistake after the other!i thnk that motorola germany is incompetent in their job by bringing the wrong phones to their country!and why are there no motorola phones in the big electronic stores(saturn,media markt) where everybody is buying electronical devices?!? if somebody from motorola could read this,and do something against it...

  • Phone has been available in mainland China since Dec. Hong Kong just received its copies 2 days ago.

  • EM 35 can put upto 32 GB memory card. EM 30 can put only 8 GB card. EM 35 has 3 MP camera, EM 30 has only 2 MP camera. EM 35 has scroll wheel like E8, but EM 30 has not. I m using E8 for almost 4 months now, I wanna buy EM 35 coz of huge capacity of memory card, but i don't like slide phones.....

  • when is this phone coming out??? i thought they'd release this before the end of the year and it's already 2009.

  • realy rock very very very good design

  • its very powerfull mp3 player

  • ROKR : What a powerful name. If i some day buy that phone , i will never change its wallpaper........... Although RIZR is my favourite series and i think it should be expanded with new good camera-phones.

  • very good phone .its very beter from walkman se and nokia musice edition its realy roker like ipod

  • nice design moto. and i think this will be a really good music phone, just like another Moto ROKR series. 2 speakers huh?

  • And Moto released all the phones you mentioned way "before" any "standman" or "sluggishmusic" series of other brands...

  • Don't forget Motorola A1000 / M1000, Motorola E680i and Motorola E398 the best music phone and the legend music phone.

  • To those who do not now it yet. -The 2 speakers are located on the lower sides (left and right)of the phone. -It can handle 32gigs of expandable memory. -This is a new phone with new technology, so the battery is better than the first motos. -This could be the best music phone ever made.

  • i've read some of ur opinions abt diz phone...one said tt diz fon got two power speaker..but when i c d pic i dun find them?where are there?are they really powerful?coz i'm looking 4 a fon tt has a powerful speaker from moto brand right now...

  • Battery is just great! It lasts more than my two-year old Z3 that its battery still lasts 2 days. At least it hasn't exploded yet as many of my friend's Sony Ericssons battery

  • please gsm arena or anybody!! 1. how much time of music playback can i get on heaadphones?? 2 it has video playback of RealVideo, is RealVideo = .rmvb? 3 up to how much the external memory (microsd) card can be expanded?? 4 how much will it cost more or less?

  • buddy i already used motorola l7 and currently rokr e6 both work awesome , no battery prblm. its prblm wid u only.

  • Mine KRZR lasts for 4-5 days, isnt that enough??? Great looking phone....This is a music phone, and that should be is pourpous....

  • its not a false comments.trust me!yet it is not released but surely it will be just the same as the other great moto models with very2 poor battery.i used to have 3 models(krzrK1,e2,v3xx)..,3 different models but with ONE STANDARD(ITS ALWAYS THE SAME!! THE POOOOOOOORRRRRR BATTERY STANDARD!!)No one will deny it,Even the CEO of moto will pleaded guilty to their poor battery..

  • how can u say that battery is poor , its not released yet. stop giving ur false comments

  • moto em35 not so great.yes the battery was poor,but i think moto should produce another em35 special edition for me with the battery could stand by for 10000000000000000000000000000000000000000 yeeeeaaaaaarrrrrsssss..pliz moto upgrade your battery for your such great models

  • very very very good . two power speaker make very loud and qulity sound . em35 is walkman ( se )kiler its realy roker .yaaaaa

  • Haha.... Motorola is now passing through on their rough road.. ROKR EM35 is a quite nice phone.. But still, this phone lacks 3G or should I say 3.5G.. But still, this is a nice phone... I hope the price won't be too high.. Coz now Im finding a phone to replace my old k700i.. But I already got N78... Haha.. Im using 2 numbers here... I love this phone's design... But it alike EM25.. But, GOOD TRY Motorola... Keep it going~!!!!!!!

  • poor battery life just like all motorola models

  • It might has the best-quality speakers ever!!!!!!The best music phone with a 3.1 mp camera. Who doesn't want it?

  • its very very good phone

  • I dont have nothing against moto, but Sony is just great

  • motorola is the best zn5 my favorit hellomoto.com gyggs.com/gwenfans

  • com'on. it's not horrible, it's just a mid-range phone.

  • Lol!! You Serious?! Lol! Please I Just Read The Rest Of Your Posts! Lol! A None Walkman Phone With The Walkman Music Player?! Come On Use Your Common Sence, Sony Just Launched The Xperia X1 Anyway. And There Is Nothing Special About This Phone, Ok, I Love Motorola But Seriously It's Too Wide For It's Screen Size, It's Too Thick And Too Ugly Come On Moto Get With The Programe. Love The E8, V8-9, U9, ZN5 And Aura.

  • Hey, P3? Was Cancelled Remember All The Buzz A Few Months Ago, The Leaked Images? Then !!! Cancelled So Don't Get Your Hopes Up, If They Are Launching The P3 It's Gona Be A Different Phone From Before And Sony Isn't All That Great, They're Way Too Pricy And Uncompatable. And I've Owned Many! Sony Phones Thier Headsets And Batteries Only Last A While So You End Up Spending More Money On Them.

  • Though I really wish Moto can offer more 3.5G handsets other than the OEM VE538 (as I heard quality isn't on par with Moto's standards) and V9x...for under / around USD$300, of course.

  • look at the economy companies are focusing on price over features i highly doubt even %30 of the market worldwide is going to buy handsets that are $300 plus

  • From other articles that I read so far... The 3.2mp cam on Moto A1600 outperforms other phones with 3.2mp cam. The 5.0mp cam on Moto Zn5 outperformas other phones with 5.0 cam.

  • Don't be a hater. or whatever, just write Ericsson P3i on google and you will get over 60 pages of hits. Even Gsm arena has a discussionforum on this phone. Have you been alseep for the last 2 months or something? This sexy beast is coming. They have already started some down low advertising for this phone in Sweden.

  • Oh really, then maybe u should e-mail ericsson in Sweden and ask them. The P3i is a phone that is being released exclusively and primarily for the Scandinavian corporate market next year, but will be available in Scandinavian stores for ordinary people as well, as long you sign a contract with a Swedens biggest operator called Telia Mobile. It won't work with any other operators, not even other operators in Sweden.

  • that's a photoshop nub

  • i love it . motorola were waiting for beter phone from moto exampell alexcander . atila ... . u will work beter from all brand . motorola is best .

  • congratulation moto on hearing about the 3.15 mega pixel camera:)

  • i like the key pad =D

  • What's happening to Motorola and to other phone manufacturer's, they are setting back on specs and quality of their products, they release phones which are not really that useful nowadays,,, even though people are just looking for phones that can call and can text, good specs will have good sales in the end... I hope that these companies are not directly or fully affected by the financial crisis, please have some quality and reliable specs on your products! Thanks and Have a good one!

  • I am sorry but do you really believe that it has 3.15 mp camera? Motorola seperates music phones and camera phones.That means that it hasn't got a 3.15 mp camera because of the fact that it is a music phone.I wish i could proove myself wrong but its camera is an absolutely joke.There are no details yet about this phone so , don't get so happy or for those who don't like Motorola phones , don't get so scared!!!

  • pretty phone ;)

  • wow, first moto with quite nice features + radio FM. it was always separately! but... stil 1-2 years behind. too little too late!

  • Whooooooa! I think that Nokia 5610 slept with Motorola EM25, just look at the back cover its 100% daddy's cover, and omg, can, can anybody see that front looks just like its mommy.... what a beautiful child. P.S> not

  • yu gotta admit.. motorola is getting a little better with there phones

  • i hope it's a mid-range phone.

  • Normally I wouldn't even comment on a moto phone, but this one is just so ugly and outdated looking I had to say something. Seriously, pretty sh!tty design and specs.

  • Nice mid to low-end phone with specs for an average person. This will sure grab some attention from young people who just need a nice camera, average screen and good music qualities and the 3.5mm port will come handy.

  • hopefully motorola will release this one, unlike the EM25, EM28, ect.

  • what a good looker , i would really like to rub that backside..

  • really wantto buy it

  • wxcellent fone............ nice look gsmarena didnt find a gud look...... i think this fone is gonna get some attention....... best of luck
