Way back in September of 2005 — over one year before the launch of the iPhone — Apple and Motorola were jointly pimping a handset called the ROKR E1 (pronounced “rocker”). The ROKR was a candy-bar-style device that had the dubious honor of being the first cell phone with the ability to natively integrate with Apple’s iTunes music software. What did the ROKR’s stat sheet look like? Glad you asked… the phone had a 176 x 220 pixel display, VGA camera with flash, Bluetoo...

We don’t have much info to go on here besides the photo, but we’ve been told that Sprint could quite possibly be picking up this iDEN-flavored Motorola ROKR for their network soon. If this was 2004, I’d totally sport an iDEN slider. But hey, we’re not exactly the target customer for this so we have no doubts that it might actually do well paired with Boost and a flat monthly unlimited rate plan.Thanks, Daddy G.!

It might not be the most exciting new handset to come to light this year, or this month, or even today… But Moto has just added a new piece to the ROKR puzzle this morning. Say hola to the Moto ROKR ZN50. For the time being it looks like this puppy will be confined to South Korea but availability in other markets is likely at some point down the road. As far as music phones go, it’s not terrible:WCDMA 2100/HSDPA 7.2 Mbps, tri-band GSM 900/1800/1900Dimensions: 108.9mm x 54mm x 14.3mmWeight: 143gDis...

Motorola @ CTIA: MOTOROKR S305 stereo headset

Motorola had plenty of handsets and accessories on display this year but the one that caught our eye, aside from the Evoke of course, was the MOTOROKR S305 Bluetooth stereo headset. Think of this headset as the S9-HD’s first cousin — Moto basically wanted an over-ear option for its customers with pricing and functionality that would position it well along side the in-ear S9 headset. The over-ear design also allows Moto to spread device controls out and really removes the need to ever touch your ha...

Freshly leaked Motorola handset could be the new ROKR [UPDATED]

Assuming this handset is real and not a crazy Moto-clone, yet another handset that we know very little about has leaked this morning and Motorola is the victim this time around. Thankfully we have a bit more to go on compared to the Samsung S5600 but we’re still missing some relatively key information – you know, the name or model number would be nice info to have. Judging by the look however, it’s safe to say this nameless touchscreen handset will be the next device to drop in Moto’s ...

While everyone is obsessing over the new Nokia N97, Motorola quietly added another slider to its ROKR portfolio. The EM35 is a music phone to the max with Motorola’s own MOTOMUSIC music player that connects to Motorola’s music store, SongID music identification application, “Fast Scroll” navigation wheel, integrated stereo speakers and stereo Bluetooth support. The ROKR EM35 also sports an integrated FM antenna that allows users to listen to FM radio with RDS over stereo Bluetooth head...
