The new ROKR EM30 uses Motorola’s innovative ModeShift technology to illuminate the keyboard-red keys illuminate in music mode and a brilliant blue keypad appears in phone mode-taking users from talk to text to complete music immersion with a touch of a button. The 3.5mm stereo headset jack provides consumers the flexibility to use the headset of their choice with ROKR EM30.

ROKR EM28 offers easy access to a genuine music-player experience in a familiar clamshell design and allows users to control their music using touch-sensitive keys that appear only when they’re needed. The front of the phone shows the name of the artist and song without even opening the flip. High-speed USB 2.0 helps users transfer music from their PC with simple drag and drop – no special software required.

ROKR EM25 offers a genuine music player experience including immediate access to a stored music library and built-in FM radio, in a sleek, quality handset. The phone has a dedicated music key so consumers can simply access stored music and familiar music controls to play, pause, forward and rewind songs. Consumers can use FMShare to share a favorite station with friends by sending it in a text message and SONGID technology to identify a song while out and about, then download and listen to it on the phone.

While the new ROKR devices are offered in different designs to suit a range of consumers’ style preferences, each supports GSM/EDGE technology and is equipped with the following features

• Supports multiple digital music formats including MP3
• FM radio with RDS
• universal 3.5mm jack
• stereo Bluetooth wireless technology

ROKR EM30 is expected to launch first in Taiwan then in other markets throughout the quarter, while ROKR EM28 and ROKR EM25 will be available later this quarter around the globe.

When powered off, the surface of ROKR E8 is smooth, with no visible keys. Power on the device and it presents a virtual numbered keypad on the front surface. With one “press” of the virtual music key, the phone keypad disappears and control keys for the music player — play, pause, fast forward
and rewind — appear in its place.

Using vibrating haptics technology, the device provides the tactile feedback consumers expect from a traditional keypad, providing confirmation they have pressed a virtual key.

ROKR E8 also marks the debut of the new FastScroll navigation wheel from Motorola, a variable-speed touch control that lets consumers easily scroll through all of the content stored on the device. With a gentle slide of the thumb, the wheel quickly scrolls through your music (music mode), contacts (phone mode), calendar (phone mode), or multimedia (imaging mode) content. Information is easily viewed on the landscape 2.0″ QVGA display. In music mode, ROKR E8 delivers great sound through a three-dimensional stereo feature that enhances two-channel audio and an on-board equalizer. Music can be enjoyed on the built-in speaker, with a compatible Bluetooth(R) enabled stereo headset, or through a wired headset plugged into the 3.5mm jack.

ROKR E8 also helps consumers discover new music with a built-in FM radio and support for Song ID. The 2GB internal memory can store up to 1,500 songs, and the external memory is expandable up to 4GB with an optional microSD card. Music transfers quickly with USB 2.0. The device is compatible
with Windows Media Player 11 on the PC, which also provides access to more than 200 online music stores.
