[photopress:ROKR_E3_front2.jpg,thumb,alignleft] Engadgetmobile.com has set its hands on the new Motorola know by now as Motorola ROKR E3. The first impression is:
.. the ROKR E3 is a GSM/GPRS/EDGE handset with 512MB of internal memory, Bluetooth, a 1.3 megapixel camera, a TransFlash memory card slot, a 3.5mm headphone jack, and some multimedia software. No iTunes, and that round thing that looks like a scroll wheel is actually just four buttons surrounding a run-of-the-mill joystick. Oh, and the keypad wasn’t very easy to use either.

[photopress:Nokia_6630_black.jpg,thumb,alignleft] Recently I sold my Moto and after adding some sum I’ve bought a smartphone from Nokia – 6630, which is perfect for me on the price/specifications ratio. As a matter of the fact, I’m bored with the cell phones limitations and purchase of a SMARTphone was question of time. The first impression of the phone was horrible. Menu isn’t very handy, the camera isn’t up-to-date comparing to other similar phones, design and layout of the keys are very uncomfortable, and the key-lock is indispensable. I always had this opinion about the Nokia cell-products and now have confirmed it, though after half a day of its usage the number of “French words” about Nokia engineers came to minimum. Besides, my Nokiaphobia was depressed by the fact that my new $286 device surpasses most of the $500+ congeners. Without any problems I’ve found lots of sources in the Net for software, themes, games, etc. for 60-series platform. Then I’ve applied some tuning and styling, and even visited my site through the Opera Mobile using the EDGE. More and more I like its charming screen and the way it lays in palm.
