Thank you for your prompt reply.

I just have her for a week, She's a glamour, a sexy girl.
The keypad is cool even you have to really press it, not touch, so she gives you a feeling of a classic phone. The Baterry life is not great, I have to charge almost every night, may be  it cause by low signal in my area, I live on a island, so she have to search the network all the time. I don't like the way she Vibrate THEN Ring. I missed some calls because of this. Pre-load theme quite poor, only one. I still wonder if she run by a Linux like the E6...
Please keep me update if any one of you have something extra for my lady.

Very best!

Some basic info...
ROKR E8 is running MotoMagX (much better than JUIX) and ATM I cant find ANY mods OR skins for it( I think its a first moto with 320x240 screen).

Im not into linux Moto's modding so I have no idea what you could try and how...

E8 run with MotoMAGX or Linux-Java and it used freescale processor if im not wrong... I think it hasnt have any mod or skin yet...so just wait... Z6 with the same OS have many improvement now and E8 will follow... :)

E8 uses newer version of MotoMagX than Z6 ;)
Also, uses ARM11 if I am not wrong, so its around ~500MhZ - AWESOME!

Dear All,

Thank you for all of  you showing your interest on E8. So now, I'd better wait then...

I live in Vietnam and there is not much chance to get close to these update. I am so happy that I found this forum. Thank you very much!

Regards.

Hello Niksy,

Pleasure to meet you here! Have you ever been to Vietnam?


Title: Re: Hello from Moto Rokr E8
Post by: NiKSY on June 05, 2008, 03:25:56 am
The pleasure is all mine! After all, you are the one with E8 ;) :P

Unfortunately, no.. But I am still very young, 16 years in July, so Im hoping to travel all around the world in the future... Vietnam would be a station for sure :)

How is it there these days?

Post by: kingbee on June 05, 2008, 07:27:52 pm
I have some thing negative aabout this phone, after 10 days using it. I found the battery file is very very poor, from 80% to 0% within 8 hours! Believe it or not.
I went to the Dealer this morning and they set me up, they want to keep my fone for a week to test, they said they are just an Agent so... they have to send to the head office, funny stubit(!) I'm going to write an email to Motorola and complain aout this.

Warning to any one want to buy this phone, hands off if you're not sure your Dealer can handle the waranty!

Good luck!

:D - i'm a mad Motorola fan - only one in my work place lol (Orange) .....

i got this phone for £130 ebay job - SO good deal..... waitin for ages and im majorly impressed!!!!

2gb internal plus my 4gb external... going to try a 8gb should work but slow at loading - battery bout 8 hours of music til flat - its ok what u expect from a new phone now adays.....

keys well repsponsive, never froze once - unlike my z8 - alot / z10 now and then on music player closing.

shame they dont have VIBRATE & RING... just vibrate then ring!!!

15fps is poor for this phone as multimedia is a target - so cant have my z10 videos....

alot of people like the phone motorola are at my work this week prob showing this kit off.....

but out of 10 ........ 8/10 for me....

Just got the phone yesterday. Sleek and sexy. Unfortunately, there's only one packaged theme and skin. So if any of you make or find more skins and themes for the rokr e8, send it my way. It will be greatly appreciated.

Dont be feared mate ;) There is same thing on e398... Its changeable by SEEM, dont know on E8 though :)

If you dont have GPRS set up...? Or does the icon blink? :)


Title: Re: Hello from Moto Rokr E8
Post by: arctu on June 15, 2008, 01:11:03 am
Nah.. doesnt blink.. Just the icon.. Probably because I'm using a 3G sim card? hehs.. Waiting for this phone to be telnet-able. =DD

Too bad still no mods... I check motofan every day, they havent started anything on it yet... Any other forum to check for that?

BTW, im 16 too :P


Title: Re: Hello from Moto Rokr E8
Post by: Joka X on June 15, 2008, 03:53:14 am
I think it's normal to have a GPRS icon.....unless the icon is showing there's data transfer...check the instruction manual :)

this thing is expensive, takes a lot of your attention to take care, hard to find, scary to think to mod it, but hell, i want it!!!!!!, just be happy for they who could buy it.


Title: Re: Hello from Moto Rokr E8
Post by: NiKSY on June 23, 2008, 07:38:15 am
Why would it be scary to mod it.. Maybe exciting :P
And yea - expensive and needs good care :)

It is scary to mod, since, if i want to buy it, i need to spend about 6 month of my monthly payment, all of them, and to think that i need to take such a risk, well, that's scary.

By the way, can anyone told me this ROCK hardware? like it processor, how much it's ram, etc?


Title: Re: Hello from Moto Rokr E8
Post by: error398 on June 23, 2008, 11:48:18 pm
u can view the spec at gsmarena.com


Title: Re: Hello from Moto Rokr E8
Post by: Polar_BearXL on June 24, 2008, 12:21:12 am
Nah, i want to know it's hardware spesification, like it's how fast is the processor, etc, gmsarena.com didn't give it, any other source?


Title: Re: Hello from Moto Rokr E8
Post by: Joka X on June 24, 2008, 04:18:14 am
processor......i think all recent Moto phone use 500Mhz....which is way too much and cause battery drain....

I don't know how worse the MOD could bring but I think the phone should be MOD as it's too poor on Theme, skin, solfware, plug-in.... the usage of the 500MHZ processor and the 2GBs Memory for what? Even the shortcut at home screen can't be customized! I still looking for something better everyday, but...
Any body help?!!

it just number. this is their 1st phone rite? i dont think it is a good phone and the price is too high. i prefer to buy HTC or samsung. moto phone is still low in overall quality. i wont buy moto except for modding.

hey .. my friend just got the new E8.. it's a classic phone .. easily catches everyones' eye .. but it has many glitches.
battery life is poor
we cannot edit anything .. that is really bad as im using e398 and am used to mod every damn object ..
i m waiting for the mods for E8 eagerly..
the phone is worth buyin only after the mods are available otherwise it's just another stupid moto phone with no customisation and high priced
may be iphone is a better option to go for ...


Title: Re: Hello from Moto Rokr E8
Post by: menderin on September 13, 2008, 01:10:23 am
I saw the phone and it is no so expencive, so I thought maybe to buy. They let us lisen music in army now (on speakers only), but my E398 is way too loud on minimum level. I would also like to check out some modern multimedia capabilities. Currently watching movies on E398 with 9 fps :P

It is an interesting phone, but I still love E398.


Title: Re: Hello from Moto Rokr E8
Post by: Exploited on September 13, 2008, 03:34:45 am
If nobody buy this phone - nobody will mod it right? :) So what Dr_M(((0)))T0 said is not very correct.

The model needs time to improve. You can mod everything on E398 because it is a model from 2004. Look at E2 - too many mods are already available, less than two years from the release time...

So go for E8 - I promise good experience :)
