The new Motorola ROKR E1 on O2 with iTunes® comes with surround sound speakers to give you an optimized listening experience. On the beach or on the sidewalk you can always listen to your songs the way you want to hear them.

Built-in Digital Camera

The Motorola ROKR E1 is not only a phone - it's also an integrated VGA digital imaging device. Point, use the colour display as a viewfinder, snap a picture, and share the moment.

Keep in touch

Check your email on the O2 Motorola ROKR E1 and store up to 1,000 phone numbers. Also, because it's a tri band phone, you can use it in various countries around the world. Whether you need to keep in touch with the latest news or what your friends are up to, the Motorola E1 is the ideal phone for you.

Mobile email

The Motorola ROKR allows you to send and receive emails from your handset, so you don't have to go to the trouble of finding a pc and landline. Mobile email has never been easier. Read, write and send business or personal email from virtually anywhere, just as you would from your desktop computer. Or send and receive SMS text messages between two phones, or to any email address.

A new sound

The Motorola E1 on O2 combines "polyphonic" ringtones with MP3 technology. This can produce a high quality ring tone that allows for truly hi-fi quality speech or music as your tone. There is plenty of phone memory for storage of pictures and ringtones.



Personalise

Why not personalise your phones display graphics? Download screensavers and wallpapers to completely transform your Motorola ROKR E1 mobile phone to suit your needs! But don't stop there! You can also download your favourite ringing tones to make it truly yours.



Java technology

Thanks to Java technology, you can further enhance your O2 Motorola ROKR E1 mobile phone with interactive, vibrant games, which can be downloaded and stored in the handset. They are easy to delete, so you don't have to worry about cluttering up your memory.



Almost everyone has downloaded wallpapers and ring tones to their mobile phone at some time, and now with this added Java technology, this should provide hours of fun and entertainment for everyone.

GPRS

GPRS is an "always on" Mobile Internet service that is typically 2 to 3 times faster than traditional GSM data. Effectively being online continuously, there is no delay due to dialling up to your service provider and GPRS technology means that you are only charged by the amount of data you transfer, not how long you are online for.



Bluetooth

The Motorola ROKR E1 on O2 supports Bluetooth wireless connectivity which allows the phone to communicate with other Bluetooth devices such as headsets, digital cameras and laptops without any wires and up to 10m away.

Mobile Internet

Incorporating the latest technology for WAP 2.0 mobile internet, you can use WAP to access a range of information from the Internet, via your Motorola ROKR E1's, high-resolution display, including news, travel and information.



Triple band

The Motorola E1 is designed around an internal triple band antenna which allows it to be used all around the world, including Europe, the USA and Canada on 900, 1800 and 1900MHz frequencies.



MMS

The Motorola ROKR E1 supports MMS (Multimedia Message Service) for Multimedia text messaging. This new technology allows you to send sounds, pictures, animations and formatted text in your message. These messages can then be exchanged between friends and family with MMS enabled mobile phones.

The Motorola MAXX V6 is an updated version of the RAZR V3X. It's an ultra-slim and lightweight 3G handset featuring touch sensitive music keys on the front of the clamshell that light up when in use. It's also the big brother of the Motorola V3XX. In fact the RAZR MAXX is very similar to the V3XX. The only real differences are the appearance of the phones and the fact that the MAXX has a better camera. Both are slimline clamshells, but the MAXX has a more futuristic look, with its combination of metal and glass and the cool touch sensitive music keys.
Like the V3XX, the RAZR MAXX introduces a new technology called HSDPA (High Speed Download Packet Access) which enables data to be downloaded at speeds of up to 3.6 Mbps - that's 10x faster than conventional 3G - and has been dubbed 3.5G. This means that you can make maximum use of 3G network services, such as high resolution video calling at 15 frames per second, super-fast music downloading and streaming and live TV on your phone. The MAXX and the V3XX are the first UK handset to feature this new technology, so this is a cutting edge device.
The MAXX has two cameras: a 2.0 megapixel camera for still photography, and a VGA camera for video calling. The video camera is high resolution (640 x 480 pixels) and supports a fast frame rate (15 frames per second). The main display is also excellent, with 256K colours and a resolution of 240 x 320 pixels.
Music is definitely one of the core features of the MAXX. The stereo MP3 player supports the most common digital music formats (MP3, AAC & AAC+) and you can plug in either a USB headset or a wireless stereo Bluetooth headset (both optional extras). Sound quality is excellent. 64-voice MP3 ringtones are also supported. The useable memory is 50 Mbytes, which is enough to store around 10 songs, but you can expand the memory using a microSD™ memory card. No memory card is supplied with the phone,the microSD™ format cards are available at up to 2 Gbytes.
The battery life of the MAXX has been improved compared with the V3X. Bluetooth and USB 2.0 connectivity are supported, and all the standard features that you'd expect from a modern phone (MMS, email, web browser, etc) are present, it's a top performer all round.
