erect? WTF??? lol...

whether this model will boost the sales, its all depends on the price.. IMHO, i rate this phone worth RM1199 + S9 since its under ROKR series..

rm1199 should be ok.. ahaha.. hmm maybe will priced at rokr e2 starting price last timr rm1299 max lor..

it wont be easily sell if more than rm1299... but i doubt the price will be low.. sigh..

yea.. coz can get a better spec phone around tat price nowadays..

I think will be RM1400 like that coz moto phones newly released are very exp and the price drop slow.

price drop slow..? i dun think so.. ahaha..

is not a good exercise... if rm1500, ppl have plenty of choices...

Most ppl go for SE or Nokia hp intead of Motorola ones coz thier prices drop faster and features are better.
But i like motorola build quality, its way better than SE and Nokia handphones.

Just my opinion only, real one need to wait.

hmm.. still waiting see e8 1 sales good or not.. i think will be 1 of the best rokr series lo..

Don't know will it delay so long or not.....

its cool n sleek factor can help to enhance its sales volume..

probably end of march or april now.. no news and stock not yet in singapore.. but the low-end model W230 will be available real soon...


i dont think so.. its depends on the pricing.. price war and spending power is the key factor here.. nowadays minimum features for phones are wi-fi, 3.2 auto-focus camera at least, 3g and memory slot. if lack of one of these and price is > RM1200, it will be dead...

should be out any moment next month i predict.. hmm..

so we can have a look how its sales will be

price yet to announce..

this phone will be out on 2nd Quarter... which will be launching soon!!!

delay and delay... i guess will be on May, not April..

Added on March 14, 2008, 3:38 pmOMG!! LG came out new model, KF600.. retail price at RM1099. with the cool haptics interactPAD which is far more better than Moto E8 in my opinion.. this gonna to kill the E8..

MOTO E8 vs LG KF600


Well, already started using my E8.. will see how it is...

Short review/feedback already posted on 1st post.

* Memory card not hot-swapped. Have to power off the phone before remove it...??

wth..?? no hotswap..??

Indeed.. but no big deal for me.. its already 2GB built-in.. lol

the slot blocked by battery.. will post the photo if i have time.. stay tune..

sure.. post more pics.. wanna see..

Good review~
Maybe you can try write in details to provide better information.

i'm not sure what to write.. lol.. perhaps, u guys can ask me any questions so that i can test it and give u guys feedback...

at this stage, honestly, damn good phone...

nice one TS, hope to see ur rokr e8 in action soon (live pics)

is the scroll wheel sensitive enough..? no problems..? still love the feature which allows the keypad to change according to the function ur running on..

Hmmm.....then i'll ask some question also.
Do you feel it is durable enough?
Does this phone reliable when you're in hurry? eg. car accident, urgent calling.
Can it handle multitasking? Like Play music with effects turning on + sending sms/mms rapidly or playing 3d games.
Mind to do some benchmark? with SPmark, Jbechmark 2.0, 3D....

Honestly E2 will scream hard when i play music without effect on and sending mms to myself. The phone like telling me it can't breathe anymore.

and also the speakers.. lol.. loud or same as e2 and the others..

good question... refer above in blue..
