The Motorola ROKR E2 offers the user the complete multimedia experience which comes in a very fashionable white or black coloured casing. The ROKR E2 is a compact & attractive mobile phone with some great capabilities. The ROKR E2 is from the same family as the Motorola ROKR E1 & both phones are totally music & media focused.
SNews reviews the Motorola ROKR-E2 and writes, ” The 1.3 MP camera won’t get any awards, but it takes good-enough pictures if there is enough light. Its included flash is a welcome addition and it even has a mode where the flash will get lit automatically if the room is too dark. You can also record video up to QCIF resolution (3gp format only) and apply zoom to it or some basic filters (e.g. b&w, night mode, add borders etc). The user interface for the camera is pretty simple, although a dedicated button on the side would have been nice (a camera button in the place of the mini-USB, and move the mini-USB on the bottom of the device). One small problem I found was that the actual picture snapped was with 1 second delay from the moment you pressed the button, so make sure you do not move the camera for 2 seconds after you pushed the button (otherwise you will get fuzzy pics).
The ROKR E2 won’t be a music phone if not for the 3.5mm audio jack that is located at the very top of the unit. Motorola bundles the ROKR with ear foams and a high quality stereo earphones. The stock earpiece is much better than the stock iPod earphones, providing fuller bass, mid and high frequencies.
You will find a light sensor on top of the phone that automatically adjusts the keypad backlight. Let’s say you are in a dimly lit room and you take out your ROKR E2 – the light sensor will automatically switch on the keypad backlight. When you are out in the sun or in a brightly lit place, the keypad backlight will be turned off. Sadly, the light sensor does not adjust the brightness of the display. Music aficionados will be glad to know that there is a 3.5mm headphone jack located on top of the phone, enabling owners to use their favorite headphones to listen to their tracks.
