I got this phone from Carphone Warehouse in the UK the day it was released. It has since been returned and exchanged for a K750i and here's why:
The headphone socket is 2.5mm and not 3.5mm so standard iPod headphones don't work with it.
The headphone socket is recessed so an adaptor fails to fit properly.
The UI is unbelievably slow to respond, especically when using iTunes.
The phone is limited to 100 songs NOT the 512mb memory, in other words if you get to 100 songs but have only used 300 mb, tough, you're not allowed any more.
The camera is terrible quality (0.3 megapixels)
You can't set an MP3 (or an AAC for that matter) as a ringtone - WHY NOT?
The USB connection is V1.1 not V2 so song transfers are very SLOW.
I have both a 3rd Gen iPod and an iPod shuffle but thought this phone would still be useful to have - I was wrong!!

The phone actually supports MP3, AAC, MIDI and few other formats. And in iTunes you can select if you want to decode in MP3 or AAC when you rip your CD. You can also copy any MP3 or AAC songs to iTunes library on your PC or Mac and transfer on the phone. Of course iTunes songs sold by Apple are only in AAC.

I think it's a cool phone ! Cheaper than the W800i. Just got mine free from www.theorder.co.uk as it was the only UK site that i could find it on. Why is it so elusive ?

Motorola doesn't care about E398 owners. We paid $598 when the phone came out. Now Motorola is making the phone again with same design, lower price and more features. Maybe if the shop let us exchange our old E398 for the Rokr E1, then I will be satisfied. Anyway the memory of the phone and the camera is not very good. Only VGA. But still got flash. Hope this phone is not as slow as E398.

Really cool... Like iPOD, Motorola ROKR E1 can change the skins like iPOD For today technology, we don't really need "infra red", the important is "bluetooth" and the "MOTOROLA HT-820 STEREO BLUETOOTH HEADSET". We don't need a very big memory because I think you don't hear all the music for 24 hours / for 24 hours x 30 days. Shame on you.

i have just found out that this phone has that crappy loose e398/v620 charger input. this is a major set back for this phone (appart from the price possibly, which i have not found out how much it is in oz yet). i was hoping that they had converted this phone into using the V3 charger input. so unless it is a cheap phone i WILL NOT be ordering this one in.

to hmmmmmmmmmmmmm,
m8 i could be wrong. i admit that but this phone still hasn't been released in australia yet (if it has then my motorola rep is going to cop it)and the price for a K750i is $740 here in oz, so if motorola is smart they will keep the price down as if they are around the same price then yes, i would take a K750i instead. i was just running off the theory that the price would be around the same price that the E398 is going for (which is currently $249). so i do apologize if i got some wrong info but if it was half the price than it would sell well in my area. thanks for the info. :)

I would rather buy O2xphone IIM then this
1) i heard max 50 songs with a small memo
2) everything is same as IIM only IIM is smartphone & it cheaper then this
3) color same as IIM
But one goodthing about this phone it has a photolight... which i think it is good for night... other then that nothing really special abt this phone still having VGA cam...
