Why did this take so long? It's simply an e398.

I heard it has a 100 song max. That is really childish of Apple to do.

I like it! Maybe when I am out of contract already... The 100 song limit isn't so bad when there is only 512mb, but when the GB cards come out that might be hard.

I like the idea, but I don't think this should have taken over a year to come out.

If others like the phone and don't care about iTunes, you can buy a brand new E398 from an importer for under $200. That's without contract. And it has a music player, so you can still listen to tunes.

Here's why I will not be buying this phone:

1. The 100 song limit--no matter what size microSD card you put in it. Just stupid.
2. "Bluetooth capable for voice calls" - that's from the Cingular website. It means that the ROKR will not sync data. No linking your address book or calendar with your laptop or the phone book in your Bluetooth car. The Bluetooth profile built into this thing is only for hands-free calling.
3. Built-in speakers - WTF is that about? They should have left out the speakers and made it smaller.
4. Really slow interface.
5. Difficult access to the SIM and SD cards.
6. Did I mention the 100 song limit?

hey "doug" the rokr can actually do more things with its bluetooth. you can transfer files(not music though). Yes there is a 100 song limit in ITUNES but there is also a generic mp3 player in the rokr in which you can store about 15 more songs in. You have to use Motorola Mobile Phone Tools to save music into the other player.

I think tha phone is a sweet idea but it would be sweeter if it was a flip. The phone aint that cute so i think they should make a different style or jus make it a flip. Other than that im gettin tha phone fa christmas!!!

how much is the cell?//??

i dont get it. i have no idea how to put the freaking songs into the phone. all it says is drag the songs into the phone icon. but it wont work.so plaease send message on how to put music in. please be specific.word fer word.thanks. x]

Dammit...you gotta buy the damn songs. $1 for 30 damn seconds dammit.

Dammit

dam-it

i was just wondering if you can set your itunes songs as ringtones?

hey salman u can transfere music buy bluetooth

Read the posts you dopes. You cannot use bluetooth for music, only voice calls and files. Mp3's are transmitted to the phone using iTunes software - you dopey techno-retards ;)

Is it possible to use itunes songs as ringtones? And if so how??

can i use my i trip with the rokr

100 songs max no matter whatever memory card you have reeks with gaydar.

how much is the cell itself witout a contract..

i think the fone is ace an i only payed 90, and u can use the songs for ringtones jus instead of puttin it onto the phone using itunes put it into mobile/ringtone folder when it is in your computer through usb on windows explorer. piece of piss. Oh and u can sync with it. And i have sent videos and audio evrything with bluetooth, the lot so, thts crap an all ... shhh

ok for those who want to save those pics from your moto rokr e1.
to start out dont plug in to computer until that step .ok go to menu the infamous 4 little line button next to the music note button ,then go to my media ,then go to pictures, then just move to the pic you want to save ,then go to menu , then select move,then select trans flash or blue tooth.
(for trans flash) the file is on the trans flash card now ,NOW plug in the usb (universal slow bus) cable and open my computer, open mobile device or what ever the computer names it (sometimes windows will auto play and ask you what to do then go to mobile folder and then pictures. whew it long to say or type but very easy to do . ok now reverse its not the same ! ok to put pics on phone go to menu ,then my media ,then pictures,then menu ,then switch storage device,then select trans flash and there are the pics, now select the pic and go to menu ,then move ,just remember that you have to repeat this for evry pic ,now stay in the pictures folder and select menu again,then switch storage device select phone. and your on your way! its about the same thing to put custom ringtones or videos on there just that sounds go to the sound folder and the videos go to the videos folder and so on . well worth the price tag (free ) . you cant find a free ipod can you ?

thankyou

How do i put songs on the phone send it to me please

how do you put itunes on your rokr phone plz plz help

how the hell do u put the effin songs on i have no clue and it keeps effin up and it says sum shit bout the mem card wen i connect it 2 the comp and every time i try and put itunes on nun happens!!!AHHHHHHHH....piece of crap!! help me sum1!!

I JUST BOUGHT THIS FONE AND HAVE NO BLLODY IDEA ON HOW 2 PUTT S0NGS IN ITTTT.......ITUNES DOESNT DETECT IT...SO I DNT NOE IFTHERES A NOTHA WAY 2 TRANSFER MUSIC IN TO IT

I just bought it too and had a problem due to incorrect insertion of the transflash card. I didn't read the book and failed to realise the little metal cover need to lift up to slide the card in.

It is also important that the phone is in USB mode under connection in the setup menu

You will then see the phone in itunes where you can decide to set the phone to be used as part ipod/part thumb drive in the itunes prefs(only available when the phone is successfully connected)

In itunes just drag songs to the phone or set up auto fill
Alternatively after setting this up in iTunes prefs, quit/hide itunes and navigate to the phone and you can store files including mp3s and video although the mp3s play in another part of the phones menu, not in itunes.
I repeat only songs transferred using itunes can be played using itunes on the phone

Sorry about the double post

Just to clarify, unless there is something wrong with your computer or cable there are only 2 reasons the phone wont show up in itunes

1, the empty transflash card is not correctly inserted (I say empty because the free album given away with some phones prevents the phone from showing up on the computer)
2, The connection is set to Data instead of USB (The phone tells you when you connect which type of connection it is)

Does anybody know what file format imported video has to be in to be played on the phone? I know still images have to be jpegs at 176x220 @ 72dpi and mp3s can be cropped for ringtones at 44khz in the regular mp3 or AAC format but what about video?

how do u get your songs onto the phone
i heard u have to use the adaptor

i do not no how to get my songs onto the phone
my friend said i av to use the adaptor but i dont no were it goes in the computer
plz help

how much does the motorola e398 cost?

any one who pays money for mp3's is a complete jackass if your gonna buy your music you might as well get cd quality, trust me there is a huge difference in the quality, i use a p2p program like limewire to get my mp3's for free, it is legal because your sharing the media with people who have already bought it, so it would be like sharing a cd with your friend as apposed to buying a boot leg, the only thing that pisses me off about the rokr is that you cant use your itunes songs as ringtones, bs

will someone please tell me how to chop up songs and use them as ringtones??

I love the phone. But only when I use it with my laptop. On my PC the iTunes doesn't recognize the phone. My windows XP can see it. It sets it up as a drive under MY Computer. My laptop can detect it with XP and iTUNES. But my hope PC not so much. I don't understand. Why will itUNES

i have dis fone n av just lernt how to put music in it but wen i connect it to da comp it says USB HAS MALFUNCTIONED!! wat is dis, can sum1 plez tell me wat 2 do?
to downlaod music u need the CD that was given with da fone ( music must be MP3 type!)

I have had this phone for about a month.
Some info posted here was useful. I have also found out how to bypass the 100 "song" limit (sort of).

If you can find a program (like WavePad) that will let you edit/make mp3 songs, open one song then paste another song to the end of it, save as another song. Now you have one "song" that is really two (note: the problem is that you can't just skip the first half 'song' to get to the second half 'song'). I have made full CDs as one song.

A change in the mp3 compression rate will affect how many songs will fit on the card. If you also transfer podcasts or audio books they will use up LOTS more memory. Your pictures/videos may also be stored onto the card as you take them.

What are the details on making mp3 ringtones?

Dear Rich:
Thanks for your explanation on moving files. It worked perfectly on mine.
Ricardo

Hey does anyone know how to make the ROKR go any louder on the speakerphone ya know while playin music? Mine doesnt go loud at all.

What kind of a scam is this? I pay for this lousy phone & now I have to pay Apple to listen to music? I am told it can be loaded w/ &mp3's listened to w/out having to use Apple, any idea as to how? I'm not a techno-nerd so pls. explain in English, not computerese. Thanx! Geraldburns@rogers.com

I went & paid for this phone yet no one bothered to tell me I now have to pay Apple to listen to music as well? I am told by several companies the ROKR E 1 can be loaded & listened to w/out having to use ( & pay for i tunes. How is this done & pls. I'm not a computer-nerd, explain in english & not computerese please? THANX

In order to make MP3 ringtones for this phone you need to Download a program such as "Mp3 Cutter Joiner", you can use the trial a couple of times and then get a serial for it at www.serials.ws, Anyway once you have downloaded the program simply load the song into it and set a start and stop time a good ringtone is about 20-30 seconds. You can also use this program to join songs together if you want a ghetto way of holding more than 100 songs in the iTunes. Once you have created your cut mp3/ringtones you simple plug in your phone via usb and move the files into the ringtones folder on the phone. Then when you unplug the phone go into my media and then sounds. Once you are in the sounds folder you will have to switch storage device to your transflash card. On the card you will find your stored ringtone files. In order to use them as a ringtone you will first have to move them back into your phone. Once they are in your phone you can use them as a ringtone. This is a much better and more cost effective way to get Mp3 ringtones. Rather than pay 2.50 each and only get chorous's of your everyday ms music. RLBurkes@gmail.com with any questions about this phone.

is there any ways you can put videos on your phone either through the itunes part of the phone or somewhere else i am really confused please help peace

The information booklet does not help you at all, how do you install the memory card, as mine does not seem to be compatible with the ROKR E1,even though it's a Trans Flash Adpater with a 512MB memory card. This is really confusing me. Please help anyone? xXx

can sum 1 pliz tel me how to sync with other phones

Okay, for people who don't know or have problems about sending the files to your phone.

First is First

YOU DO NOT NEED iTUNES AT ALL!!!! DO NOT DOWNLOAD IT UNLESS YOU WANT TO USE PLAYLISTS!

Now for you people having USB problems and malfunctions for the driver, it is most likely that you have the USB Connection set on Data.

To fix that, press the 4 Lines Menu Button > Settings > Connectivity > USB Settings and set your Default Connection to Memory Card

Now your computer will recongize the phone as a regular flash drive.

To save files, open up your "Removable Disk (E:)" and go in the folder
"mobile"
Save items accordingly, Pictures into Pictures, MP3s or AACs into "Audio", Ringtones into "ringtones" etc etc etc

I like this phone. I have it. This is my second day and man, the only function I did not know this thing had was the little flash for picture taking.

0.o!!!

YES, Time to read my books in da dark!!
^.^

Got more problems?
Email Darktemplar411@gmail.com

Oh yea, Bluetooth Syncing.

Yes you can sync and send files over to other phones via Bluetooth.

Just highlight the file, press the menu button, and goto "move" and bluetooth.

The rest is explanatory I hope.

P.S. I don't respond to often with email lol.

Also, I wanna leave a ringtone I made.

18 secs Ringtone

Mahou Battle (From the Ah! My Goddess! Anime)

Ah The link doesn't work.

I got the whole ringtone thing but everytime i get a call it doesnt play the ringtone i want even though my ringtone is set to Linkin Park, it plays the notify thing or whatever instead whtat the heck is up??!!

I have made custom ring tones for my rokr and have got them as far as the transflash drive. I then tried to use the move command to get them to my phone. Once I click on the command it says that it is moving the file but does nothing. Anyone have any idea on how to get it to the phone memory and to apply it as a ring tone?

i need help!! when itunes comes up on my computer, it doesnt recognize the phone being connected! i followed all the instructions, but when it says to drag my songs to the phone icon, i dont HAVE a phone icon!!

I have the same problem with iTunes not recognizing my Roker. I've spoken with both Cingular and Motorola tech support people on the phone for hours and they had no clue what was wrong. Somebody please help...

Here is what I've tried: I made sure that the memory card was inserted correctly and the USB connection on the phone is set to "Memory Card". When I plugged in the USB cable, the laptop recognized the new hardware and installed the drives and prompted me to restart. After restarting, the USB showed up as USB Mass Storage Device under USB Controllers in Device Manager. Removable Disk (E:) also appeared under My Computer. However, when I click on it, it says "Please insert a disk into drive E", instead of displaying folders such as "Mobile".

I have iTunes 6.0.4, and IBM laptop with XP professional and SP2.

Any advice/suggestion, please?

ok rich ur info on how to get pics onto your compute from your PHONE was a real big help thnx for that but ur explanation on doing it the other way is a bit sketchy when i tried to do what u said it transferred yes it was in the videos folder on the computer but it never showed up on my phone plz give some help if not rich ditchman then anyone who can help if u have answers then plz email me at pink_ice79@hotmail.com thnx

I am having the same problem as Ayntheny. I have my mp3 set up in the ringtones, I have it selected, and plays as the song when I listen to it under the sounds, but when I listen to it set up as my ringtone all it does is ring like a normal ring. It says ringtone set as "my comfort" (which is my song) but when it actually plays it, it is only a ring. Does anyone know why it is doing this? I am getting frustrated with this phone. Thanks.

I think I have it figured out after working with it for 6 hours. I think my problem is that my songs were too big, when I shortened them up I got it to play, instead of just ring. If anyone knows any other reasons, let me know, otherwise I think I have it figured out somewhat.

my problem is i can only fit 14 songs on the phone. what happened to the "100 songs"? Do you have to buy the seperate miniSD mem card?

Jake

Everyone I've talked to thinks I'm really stupid for not being able to put the songs on here, but I think I'm seriously missing something, thanks for any help!!

How do you put songs onto the iTunes. I got my phone and I have no USB cord or outlet on my phone
