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

[NiKSY]

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...

[Polar_BearXL]

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

[Exploited]

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

[samuel_witwicky]

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

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

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

So,how much is the cpu speed of EM30?

[Polar_BearXL]

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

[MOTO_MIKE]

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.

[huatz84]

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.
