No way is this phone worth $249 with a contract. The Sony Ericsson w800 holds a gig or more and is a much better phone overall.

Wow, well, ok, never heard such correlation between emo & punk kids as you suggest. Must be an RT thing.

The phone is ass. It is that simple, no advantage over the Sony's.

The ROKR phone is a horrible clunky cheap-looking item that Jonathan Ives would, I imagine, loathe to be even vaguely associated with. A real disappointment to see such a product …

Well, I have a SE P910i which can play AAC. It does use Memory Sticks, up to a gig if you want. But it certainly isn't slick, it's more like we use to call it a "fridge", let say b…

I love all these opinions from people who don't even own one! Until you try it . . . don't judge. I got a free ROKR from work with Cingular service. I am lucky enough to be able t…

It's a good start... still waiting for Apple Smart Phone though. Have Mail, iCalendar and Address Book, iTunes and running on EDGE. Let Motorola built the phone parts and let Apple…

I agree, let's hear from folks who own one! I was at the Cingular store the hour it was announced and got the first ROKR to come in. I don't usually buy the first one off the line …

Be careful with iTunes 5 I am always very careful with updates. I am glad I made a backup before trying this software. I subscribe to 15 podcasts. I have just short of 1700 songs…

no problem here.

Works perfectly fine for me as well. Didn't lose any of my playlists or music.
