Features
The 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 camera is 2 mega pixels and does not have a built in flash. The camera has built in macro mode which works good and there is a switch located on the back to switch to and from macro mode. Overall the camera takes good pictures in well lit areas but at night or dark areas the camera is horrible. Motorola should have installed a flash for the camera which would have made a big difference in poor lighting conditions. The E6 has Bluetooth version 2.0 and supports A2DP. Currently there are only a couple of Motorola phone which have A2DP built in and this is one of them. The A2DP profile works great and is very easy to connect. Depending on your headphones you can enable auto connect which saves you the hassle of connecting, entering pin and pairing the device every time. The E6 has a mini USB port located on the bottom of the phone. The mini USB supports version 2.0 so data transfers are relatively fast. You can use the USB port to sync your phone with the computer and copy files. When you want to copy files to your phone all you have to do is put the phone in “mass storage drive” and you can quickly drag and drop files to and from your computer. Another cool feature that Motorola has added is the ability to use your phone as a web camera. All you have to do is select the USB mode to webcam and connect it to your computer. Your computer will then automatically install the drivers and think the phone is a standard USB webcam. The E6 has a built in radio tuner. The radio works very well in terms of reception and has many options. You can save all your favorite radio stations and toggle through them. When you’re listening to the radio and receive a call the radio will pause and resume after the call has ended. The quality is okay overall but I believe Sony Ericsson phones have a lot better radio reception. The E6 has a built in business card reader which is a cool new feature. The business card reader only works when it’s well lit and will not work when it’s dark. The program uses the phone’s camera to scan the business card and inputs the card’s data into your phone. It is a cool feature indeed but in my opinion is not practical at all. All about

Motorola ROKR-E6 in-depth review - Introduction & DesignIntroductionThe 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...Motorola ROKR-E6 in-depth review - FeaturesFeaturesThe E6 has all the basic features that you would expect in a PDA phone.

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...Motorola ROKR-E6 in-depth review - ConclusionConstruction 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...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... |
