[Mod]

Motorola announced the Motorola ROKR E2 marking the global debut of the newest member of the company’s ROKR family of music-optimized handsets. Designed for the music enthusiast who wants to carry one device, ROKR E2 not only lets users take thousands of their must-have music selections with them but also delivers world-class wireless communications.

ROKR E2 features a MP3 player compatible with a variety of different audio formats – giving users flexibility to download MP3, WAV, AAC files and more. The ROKR E2 also lets users switch seamlessly between phone calls and music play lists simply by touching a button. Based on a Linux operating system to enhance speed and flexibility, this mobile handset is a powerful example of what it means to be “the device formerly known as the cell phone.”

ROKR E2 users make a fast connection from the device to a compatible PC using a USB 2.0 cable.* Next, they “drag and drop” digital music files from their PC-based music collection directly to the phone. Each song takes only seconds to transfer from the PC to the ROKR E2. With removable SD™ mass memory, ROKR E2 can store songs, as well as create and manage playlists. ROKR E2 also comes equipped with built-in FM radio functionality.

Dedicated music keys on the handset’s side and front let you navigate playlists, as well as play/pause, skip backward/forward, and hold. Connect to ROKR E2 via a standard 3.5mm headset or wirelessly via the built-in stereo Bluetooth connection. ROKR E2 accessories includes the O ROKR Eyewear, Motorola Bluetooth DJ Headphones S805, and JBL OnTour Mobile. Additionally, ROKR E2 comes with airplane mode, allowing safe listening while flying. Other multimedia features include a 1.3 megapixel camera for pictures, video capture and playback.

ROKR E2 is also part of Motorola’s growing portfolio of Linux-based handsets. Open software solutions such as Linux help Motorola create the best mobile experiences for wireless operators and consumers. By leveraging Linux, Motorola can deliver products to market faster, reduce costs and create more innovative products and experiences for mobile music, productivity, and entertainment. The company’s first “mid-tier” Linux-based device, ROKR E2 further demonstrates Motorola’s commitment to driving Linux-for-mobile innovation across the company’s device portfolio.

The Motorola ROKR E2 in colors black and white will be available in select retail outlets in Greater China this summer, with further announcements about wider availability expected over the next several weeks.
