Entertainment
The 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. Internet The E6 only has standard GPRS and does not support EDGE, 3G and HSDPA. The E6 does not have built in Wi-Fi either. Since the E6 is a new phone I’m not sure why Motorola has not included faster forms on internet connection. Overall internet is okay when using the on screen keyboard but may be slow for people who are used to fast internet connections. Storage The E6 has only 8 MB of memory but is meant to be used with a SD card. Some packages include a 1 GB memory card depending on where you purchase it from. Although SD cards are available with up to 4 GB of memory, I’m not sure this phone will support it. In the spec sheets Motorola states that you can add up to 2 GB of memory. Connectivity The E6 is tri-band GSM and lacks the 850 GSM band. Special thanks to some members of http://www.motorolafans.com/ who have successfully modded their E6 to quad band. You can read the thread at http://www.motorolafans.com/MotorolaFansPHPbb/viewtopic.php?t=7995 I have noticed a big difference in terms of reception and recommend this to anyone who is using this phone in North America. The process is done by seem editing which is similar to registry editing for Windows Mobile. If you haven’t done seem editing before, I would not recommend this because making a minor error can potentially damage your phone. All about

Motorola ROKR-E6 in-depth review - FeaturesFeaturesThe 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...Motorola ROKR-E6 in-depth review - Display & AudioDisplayThe 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...Motorola ROKR-E6 in-depth review - Entertainment, Internet & StorageEntertainmentThe E6 has many forms of entertainment.

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...The Incredible, Hackable Phone? Playing with the MOTOROKR E6I 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... |
