Ya , Really dun understand y ppl complain so much abt wifi. it jus help u consume more power when using it, in the end u cant even make call or listen to MP3.

Must well sign up for unlimited GPRS usage.

And using GPRS is much convenient than using WIFI.

@uExb

it feels like you are pressing a button. but its not really a button you are pressing. because none of them really press.
hope it made sense.

why do people complain about wifi so much. 80% of the people that talk about it probably dont even use it. Its a phone not a computer I can't even recall one time using wifi on my phone, bluetooth yes but wifi who cares I dont want to look at the web on a tiny screen

======================
Hey anybody knows what video format does E8 records?
MP4 or 3GP?
And on what quality?
QVGA, CIF, or QCIF?
And lastly how many frames per second? (if E8 records in MP4 format)
Thanks.
=====================

3GP and QCIF.

hey Owen,
so, motorola provides 1 year international warranty? i thought all brands only provide 1 year local warranty?

I'm really impressed with this phone but it has two major downsides: no 3G & wi-fi, and the screen is small. A perfect phone for me must have HSDPA, wi-fi, Document Viewer(even without QUERTY keypad) coz I don't wanna run to the e-café for CV emailing, 2.2'' screen(minimum), 3mp camera with autofocus & flash, 3.5mm jack for audio & video and lastly FM radio(fundamental for every phone nowadays). In my opinion Linux Moto's are better than the Symbian UIQ, and Windows Mobile ones but Motorola doesn't realise that. Take the Linux powered Z6 & the RAZR 2 V8 and add 3G, FM, PDF viewer, wi-fi and a 3.5mm jack then Moto will beat any Nokia N-Series and SE Walkman. Moto should provide 3 OS options for the hi-tech customers(like me) who wants a smartphone but prefers Linux to Windows Mobile or the one who prefers Symbian than Linux or Windows Mobile. They shoul leave the Synergy ones to compete with Nokia S40. The most disapointing thing for me is that they want to sell the handset division rather than buying the smaller but intelligent companies like Nokia does to enhance their brand and the other worst one is that the E-Series(ROKR) doesn't make it to our beautiful Rainbow Country, South Africa, we only see N-Series, Walkman and the useless Samsung's "slim sliders" here. I LOVE Motorola but I'm using a Nokia S40 6234 now. It's a good phone but I could have finished writting this document in 3 times faster than I did with this one if it was a Motorola.

This technology is inside Motorola Zine Series like Motorola Z12 and more Motorola Kodak Camera Phone; start produce from Q2,2008.

Kodak Revolutionizes Image Capture with New High-Resolution CMOS Image Sensor
Industry’s First 1.4 Micron, 5 Megapixel, High-ISO CMOS Sensor Combines Two New KODAK Technologies for Better Pictures from a Smaller Sensor

ROCHESTER, N.Y., Feb. 4 -- Eastman Kodak Company (NYSE:EK) is enabling a new level of performance in consumer imaging devices by redesigning the basic building blocks used to collect light and is incorporating that technology into a brand-new sensor.

The company has combined its recently announced Color Filter Pattern technology with a new CMOS pixel to create the KODAK KAC-05020 Image Sensor, the world’s first 1.4 micron, 5 megapixel device. Designed for mass-consumer camera applications such as mobile phones, Kodak’s new sensor enables a new level of resolution in small optical formats, using significantly smaller pixels. But unlike other small-pixel sensors which can produce poor images, especially under low light conditions, the 1.4 micron pixel used in the KAC-05020 Image Sensor changes this convention, providing image quality that can equal or surpass what is available from current devices using larger, 1.75 micron pixel CMOS designs.

“Camera phones and other small-pixel consumer imaging devices often suffer from poor performance, especially under low light conditions. To manufacture sensors that utilize these very small pixels – only two to three times the wavelength of visible light – we needed to challenge everything we knew about pixel and sensor design,” said Chris McNiffe, General Manager of Kodak’s Image Sensor Solutions business. “By completely rethinking the design of the CMOS pixel and leveraging our work with high sensitivity color filter patterns and algorithms, Kodak was able to develop this remarkable new sensor that will enable a level of imaging performance previously unavailable from CMOS devices.”

Key to the performance of this new sensor is the KODAK TRUESENSE CMOS Pixel, a re-engineering of the fundamental design and architecture of traditional CMOS pixels. In a standard CMOS pixel, signal is measured by detecting electrons that are generated when light interacts with the surface of the sensor. As more light strikes the sensor, more electrons are generated, resulting in a higher signal at each pixel. In the KODAK TRUESENSE CMOS Pixel, however, the underlying “polarity” of the silicon is reversed, so that the absence of electrons is used to detect a signal. This change enabled a series of improvements to the design and structure of the pixel that ultimately results in CMOS imaging performance that rivals that available from CCD image sensors.

Light sensitivity in the new sensor is enhanced through the use of the recently announced KODAK TRUESENSE Color Filter Pattern, which adds panchromatic, or “clear,” pixels to the red, green and blue pixels already on the sensor. Since these pixels are sensitive to all wavelengths of visible light, they collect a significantly higher proportion of the light striking the sensor. This provides a 2x to 4x increase in sensitivity to light (from one to two photographic stops) compared to current sensor designs, improving performance in low light and reducing motion blur in action shots.

At 5 million pixels, the KAC-05020 provides the highest resolution available in the popular ¼” optical format, and enables imagery up to ISO 3200 and support for full 720p video at 30 fps. The sensor is also supported by the Texas Instruments’ OMAPTM and OMAP-DM solutions, enabling a host of KODAK Image Processing and Enhancement Features (such as digital image stabilization, rapid auto-focus, red-eye reduction, and facial recognition) that provide digital camera-like performance in a camera phone.

“For consumers today, high resolution is required but no longer sufficient,” said Fas Mosleh, Worldwide Director of CIS Marketing and Business Development for Kodak’s Image Sensor Solutions business. “Smaller and thinner camera phones, high performance under low light, and superior video performance are the types of features that will enable the next generation of consumer imaging devices. And with this new Kodak sensor, camera designers can now put those features directly into the hands of their customers.”

The new sensor expands Kodak’s portfolio of CMOS and CCD image sensors for consumer and applied imaging applications, and positions the company to take advantage of the growing demand for high-quality image capture in a variety of devices, regardless of size.

The KAC-05020 will be demonstrated by Kodak at the GSMA Mobile World Congress held Feb 11 – 14 in Barcelona, Spain. Samples of the KAC-05020 are scheduled to be available in Q2 2008.
