A rocker phone for the next gen

It was a night of colorful and techy handyphones...of rock 'n roll, of motopops and the famous MOTObus. It was also the night of the unveiling of Motorola's newest member of the company's family of music-optimized mobile handsets - the MOTOROKR E2.

Filipinos, almost all, are born to be music-lovers and are natural-born musicians. And there's no doubt that in every streets and squares, one can notice how this fact is clearly proven - big stereos are playing in the streets, every household has music players and day by day bands and performers have concerts/gigs and if not contented, disco houses are always remedies for after-party madness.

And while music is the talk of the town, Motorola quickly responded to the call of the times, creating a techy, funky, trendy and oh-so youthful handyphone dubbed as the MOTOROKR E2- a phone that rocks! Yes, it really does. It is not just any ordinary cellularphone for it is also a music handset. It gives you a good reason not to purchase an iPod the moment you get hold of this music master mobile phone. Wherever you are, whenever you want, listen to your favorite artists and when you get bored of repeating the same songs, you can immediately change your playlist by simply downloading songs from your favorite CDs or digital music collections from your PC directly to your handset via a fast USB 2.0 connection - faster downloading session this time with MOTOROKR only from Motorola. Then you can easily play the songs by pressing the music player buttons on the side or either front. Still not contented and you opted to tune in to your favorite DJs, MOTOROKR has a built-in FM Radio with up to 30 presets. You need not to worry on the memory size of this gadget for this contains a 2gig storage capacity, so, there's no need to swap memory sticks on your phone from time to time. With that, you are given much freedom to take pictures (camera with flash) and capture videos.

It was last September 9 when Motorola formally introduced this rocker mobile phone to Cebu, of course bringing itchyworms, one of the country's hot OPM band, as their endorser. The colorful and one-of-a-kind MOTOBUS was brought to Cebu to tour around the metro - malls, schools and other hot spots. "The MOTOBUS embodies Motorola's commitment to bring communication technology to consumers everywhere," explains Mari Litonjua. Inside the MOTOBUS are hot new handsets, download and retail stations and a repair service center on board. There I first laid eyes on MOTOROCKR and eventually, I fell in love with it. It's colored orange, by the way. It perfectly fitted in my fist. Oh my, I was really hoping that it was mine!

So, if you're a music lover or if you're still caught in confusion of whether you'll buy yourself an iPod or not, better think twice...get yourself a MOTO-ROCKR, a phone that truly rocks!
