iPodDailyNews - Where iPod news comes first

Yep, I have one and I'm loving it.
I can't stop playing with it, lol!

For once I'm gonna say it in spanish (and why not):
Este telefono es mas feo que la leche. Muchas luces, las que quieran --pero como no le pongas una bola de discoteca... no

First positive (and first real hands-on) review I've read. I get the impression that everyone was so overhyped that it's no wonder everyone's disappointed.

Everyone has their own opinions of the ROKR phone. Personally, I went to Cingular to purchase the phone and thought it was ugly (a major disappointment for a product that Apple had a hand in).

I ended up thanking Cingular for their support of Apple/iTunes music format (If I were to buy a phone with music capabilities I wouldn't want anything else) and ended up buying a black RAZR. I love the look of the RAZR, but Motorola should ask for Apple's help with the UI (it's not very user friendly and the defaults chosen for buttons are odd - not sure if that's Cingular or Motorola's fault - but they can be changed).

It's funny, my two biggest gripes about the ROKR are things the author of the original review liked... Specifically, the external speakers (just what we need MORE NOISE polution - one persons idea of music is anothers headache - keep your music to yourself when out in the public) and the lighting effects (tacky, tacky, tacky... in my opinion).

Velco iPod Nano to Moto RAZR phone

Twice the style, 10x the song storage, twice the battery life.

Twice the coolness factor

"(One small suggestion to Firmware engineers for future releaseses would be that, once your call is done, the device should by default start playing again)."

It sure seemed like that's what they were trying to make it look like in the ad I saw last night. I guess you can't really call them on it, since they don't actually show the girl using any buttons on the phone up close, but the music sure seemed to resume pretty instantaneously.

Maybe they need a disclaimer like "Not a flying toy." for Buzz Lightyear.

Can't wait for Rogers Wireless to start carrying the ROKR in Canada. Heard we should get it in the next couple of weeks.

Dave,

I bet the ROKR can be used as an alarm clock therefore good speakers make perfect sense. Also, good sounding music as a ringer is way better than all of the crap I hear all day long from other cells.

I would probably get one if they had one in Japan. Imagine, an MP3 player you can expense!
