When is a phone not just a phone? When it’s also a fully-fledged bona fide music player, a la Motorola’s ROKR E8.
Gone are the days when mobile phones are bought solely for idle chitchat. With the ROKR E8 if you’re into your tunes, you’re in for an aural feast.
Along with the promise of top quality sonics, the day-to-day practicalities of transferring music files from home computer to phone couldn’t be easier with drag ‘n’ drop software enabling you to pick and choose songs with ease. It’s built-in 3.5mm jack means your current headphones will work just fine too.
However, should you need to do a spot of old-school idle chitchat, Moto’s patented CrystalTalk tech delivers outstanding call clarity even in noisy locations.
