The Motorola ROKR E6 equipped with a 2 megapixel camera also comes with advanced features such as Bluetooth, Java, business card recognition software, and barcode scanner. Other key attributes include a TFT touchscreen, FM radio, and video capture.
Introduction The E6 is the newest edition to the Motorola ROKR series. The ROKR E1 which was the exact same as the Motorola E398 was nothing special and the fact that there was a capacity on how many songs you can load on it was disappointing. The ROKR E2 was a little better in terms of features but looked weird with its too rounded corners. Now the ROKR E6 has finally made advancements like the Linux operating system, touch screen display, SD memory card, 2 mega pixel camera and most importantly the beautiful looks.
Design The ROKR E6 is a combination of the Motorola A1200 and the Motorola SLVR. The keypad has the same Razr design and looks remarkable.
On the right side of the phone is the keylock switch and camera button. On top of the phone is the headphone jack which is standard 3.5mm. It is nice to see that the headphone jack is 3.5 mm so you can use any pair of headphones. The E6 has dedicated media buttons located on the left hand side of the phone which include a play/pause button along with back and next button. On top of these media buttons is the SD card slot which has a strong plastic cover. On top of the SD is the Volume up/down control. On the bottom of the phone is the mini USB charging port, the stylus and a button to release the back cover.

FeaturesThe E6 has all the basic features that you would expect in a PDA phone. The E6 has calendar, appointments, alarm clock, calculator, tasks, notes and more. Although the E6 does not have office programs like Windows Mobile, it does have a Picsel viewer built in. You can view all your Microsoft word, powerpoint, excel files but do not have the ability to edit them.
Advanced Features The E6 has many advanced features like a 2 mega pixel camera, Bluetooth 2.0, mini USB, built in...
DisplayThe display has a 240 x 320 resolution and is 2.4 inches in size. The display is touch screen and is meant to be maneuvered by the built in stylus. The screen is great and is capable of displaying 256k colors. The screen is very bright and you can lower the brightness level for battery efficiency. Usually the touch screens are lower than the rest of the phone which protects it. The E6’s display is flat with the rest of the phone. AudioThe E6 is...
EntertainmentThe E6 has many forms of entertainment. The phone comes pre installed with 3 spectacular games; Need For Speed Most Wanted, The SIMS and AGE of Empires. All the games on the phone are Java based. You can also install programs onto the phone but the fact there are not that many programs available for Linux OS may be disappointing for some. Mostly the E6 is intended for music as a source of entertainment. InternetThe E6 only has standard GPRS and does not support EDGE, 3G and...
Construction The E6 has excellent build quality and seems very durable. The phone’s material feels like metal and is very sturdy. Since the display is flat with the rest of the phone it is a good idea to get a screen protector.
ConclusionOverall I liked the ROKR E6 a lot. Like most PDA’s the E6 does not have a keypad but has an on screen keypad. For some this may be an issue but in my opinion it takes a bit getting used to.
The Motorola E6 is a tri-band GSM phone that is...
I got a Motorola MOTOROKR E6 a few weeks ago. While the phone's name might lead you to believe that it's but a sequel to the ill-fated MOTOROKR E1 (aka The iTunes Phone) and the less well-known ROKR E2, the E6 actually represents the furthering of an entirely different arm of Motorola's mobile telephone division: The hackable Linux handset.
While the E6 is a music-centric handset - part of what attracted me to it was the 3.5mm stereo headphone jack, but more on that later this...

Pros: TouchscreenCons: BulkySummary: The phone is an amazing device. Its touchscreen and if you want you can hack it and put the iphone theme, for all you iphone fans. The only bad thin is that they should of made the screen much bigger. Its a bit bulky and the touchscreen sort of gets on your nerves sometimes. But since the keypad is small, thats why it comes with the touchscreen stick which is very small at the point so that allows you to write comfortably, unless you want to use your hands. Bottom line, its a great phone.

Pros: Good styling and good featuresCons: Slow at times, very less themes(not available in internet also)Summary: This is a cool phone who needs to listen to music and with some extra useful features....!!!!!! A good phone with a cheaper rate with such features compared to moto's competitors

Pros: GreatCons: GreatSummary: Its a great phone...just a bit more in themes and the camera could have made it the best seller....overall great...hope my views are taken into consideration
I personaly think the e6 rokr is the best of its kind. Although they are coming out with the new e8 rokr july 7th which will start at $199, i think it is no match for the e6, the e6 is touchscreen

Hmmmmm this is a tough one because I've gone through so many phones..
The LG VX3200 comes to mind and of course the ROKR.
Other than that I've been pretty lucky although I usually get a new phone
