Nice lookin one... Love that black-orange... ;D

haha....look like black E2 with orange side....

lol Doesnt look like E2 at all :D

But this is a GREAT phone... I like it much more than E8! Screen looks bigger... Maybe its square now? 320x320?

hmm didn't see that actually - it really looks square

That would be great, too... Bigger screen :)
Must be cheaper (they lost the alpha wheel)... Could someone guess the price?

Ah, the screen looks bigger...but i dont think its square... :)

square screen or not, it looks nicezzz, by the way? is there any news for this phone?

I doubt that Motorola will release these new phones on the market before the autumn... Spring is usually "dead" season for buyers and for that reason it's useless for Moto to shot their aces. They will wait for the big Chrismas sale in USA :)

i think, it won't go as far as that, i mean, you can see all the new series of Nokia and SE all the places, well motorola need to release phones too, if they didn't want to lose their market share "again"

With body thin and slender
Very fit for office style :D

GPS? MY god......however, as far as i know in china, em30 doesn't support GPS and, moreover, it's weaker than E8 though with 2.2 screen........

i just found out this is the cheap version of E8....... http://www.gsmarena.com/motorola_expands_their_music_rokr_series_with_em25_em28_and_em30-news-562.php

well E8 is cheap enough I think :)

EM30 has already appear on Indonesian market. it's about $200 US

thats cheap.....thanks for the info....

OK, so the GPS news was fake (so sad)...

This appears to be the "cheaper E8". I guess the OS will be the same, so same mods will apply.

I see EM25 and EM28 on the gsmarena page too :)

$200? Thats like 150euro? Niiiice :) I hope I can collect money for this one.

Most people will buy E8 and E8 mods may not run fluent on EM30. Anyway why not :) We will have EM30 user porting apps ;P

I hope i can get EM30 or E8... They are so cool. xD

i'm getting quite confused, i want to have this phone? or saving the money for the E8, and have a happy modding time (oh yeah baby ;D) or saving it for Z12 with a symbian platform???? anyone, please give me a suggestion

I think that E8 is the better choice anyway

you think so??? well, that means, it's time to tighten the belt, and save the money, by the way, is there anyone that can tell me where to find the online shop that sale this phone, in Indonesia to be exact

Actually what makes the EM30 an "other phone"? i mean it looks like only a nerfed E8...

In motofan people say that the plastic of EM30 is much worse than on E8 too

If some1 gets one EM300 extra, please! Please send it to me :D Im desperate... 3 years with my e398 and looking and all these miracle moto's...

First to ask! :P

Hahaha, it's fine, just try to save your money NiKSY, i myself have been hanging on my E2 for almost 2 years, and before that, i had an E398 that last until it broke itself,  :'( i miss my E398.

The Omega Wheel on E8 is really rock... So go for E8 is better choice than EM30... And EM30 surely looks cheaper than E8... :)

Hey, whats up with the screen, did some1 find out if its same 320x240?

yes.. same with E8, 320x240. ;)

Too bad... Now I need to start collecting 200euro for E8... Ahh long time :(

but the specifications said it is 128 X something
.

the resolution is lower,maybe.

Thats wrong. Im pretty sure it is 320x240 pixels.

EM30 same screem,same keypad ...

        the diffierent just the the low cpu,the cheap price than E8

so it just the brother/sister of E8

WHat low CPU? Slower CPU then on E8? I thought it's just the omega wheel? Maybe that 2gb internal memory,too... Those too raise the price...

cpu speed is not so problematic for me, since we can easily overclock it right?? but  of course i prefer E8, saving my money for it, hahaha

I don't think the CPU is different. There are not much mobile CPU variants on the market anyway.

About the overclock - yeah right, but the statistics shows that the profit is not big enough :( If something lags bad - it will still lag, even on max overclock... The profit from OC is too low to be discussed. I actually downclocked my E2 :)

I like the style good, especially if cassings pink.. Haghaghag..
I can't say what, especially.. ;D ;D

Yeah, and i hope we'll have a good speed (means no lag) in this phone, or even the E8, since i really am going to aim for this phone

So,how much is the cpu speed of EM30?

i don't think motorola differ the cpu, and even though they differ the cpu, we can still easily overclock it, the main problem for most moto phone is the firmware, it's just not quite good, remember, nokia phone proc run on 369Mhz, and it's still faster then our moto product, the problem is, even in our modded fw, we hardly got a 5mb free memory from the total of 48mb memory, and that's bad.....

what i mean is, you don't really think about how fast is EM30 proc, since as long as moto still sucks in creating fw, it's still hard for us to get a fast-responsive phone........

but that's why we love modding isn't???? there's always a challenge to overcome :P

ok, ok, ok the EM30 its the basic version of the ROKR E8, low price and basic aplications!!!!

I hope my posting will answer any question about Motorola EM30. Personally, i don't believe what GSM Arena says because GSM Arena is Motorola Hater.

Yeah,You're right Motomania..Until now,there's no review about any Moto phones in GSMarena.The latest one is Z8.It's such a discrimination.
At Smape.com,It's been proved that Rokr EM30 is the best among its competitors.Rokr series are the best music phone until now.No one can deny it.
Since E398 era,Motorola has ruled the world of music phones with its hi-fi audio quality.

Also in GSM Arena Forum in the Motorola Section has a discrimination to Motorola. GSM Arena doesn't have faith to facing the fact about Motorola and says Motorola great. If GSM Arena give Motorola Review; i don't believe them. EngadgetMobile and  The Boy Genius Report also discrimination to Motorola; Example: When Motorola fired some worker, they blow up the news. When Nokia fired some worker; they don't blow up the news.

I like mobile-review....their reviews seems to be fair....

Yes, i agree with you. Mobile Review is fair when give review.

i like this phone alot this is the little brother to the rokr e8
