Motorola ROKR EM30

 

The Motorola EM30 is the successor of the ROKR E8. The EM30 features a 2.2-inch LCD screen, stereo speakers, a built-in 2.0-megapixel digital camera without flash or autofocus features, and 2GB of memory.

Affordable; cool modeShift technology; supports lots of music format, standard audio jack

Bad keypad design, poor camera

And at RM899 it certainly won't burn a big hole in your wallet.

Love my Motorola Rokr!

 

Was looking for a simple phone to throw my sim card in. The phone has been durable so far. Haven't had any problems using the phone. The only negative thing I have to say about the phone is that the numbers aren't always lit up. Once the light goes...

Disappointed and Hurt!!!

 

My cell phone before this product was the Motorola L9 which after some time went bad. However, when I tried to replace it, I had much difficulty since the L9 seem to have discontinued. And so, I purchased the Motorola Motorokr EM30 with great...

It'll freeze for a good 15 seconds at times, mainly when someone is calling, and therefor not allowing you to answer the phone, BUT it'll still ring. It has actually turned off a few times when i tried answering the phone. and the "2 megapixel" camera,...

The first one came opened(probably used/returned) and never worked. Exchanged it for a new one - still lots of problems. The phone is heavy - heavier then L6/L7, even V9 (with the same features). The phone is slow - some button pushes take seconds to...
