\"rokr\"<\/p>\n

Meet the Motorola ROKR<\/a>, the first cellphone compatible with iTunes<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Just one problem: you would expect<\/strong> a net-capable iTunes cellphone to be able to access the Apple Music store wirelessly, enabling you to purchase music on the go.<\/p>\n

But, nope! You can only transfer music to your phone by plugging the phone into your computer, iPod-style.<\/p>\n

So I guess the only real outstanding feature of this phone is that it plays AAC and MP3 files. Oh, wait, so can other phones<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Oh… well, maybe it’ll offer some form of high-speed data. Oh, wait… Motorola has quietly pulled high speed EDGE from its current and future phone lineup, including the ROKR<\/a>. Oops.<\/p>\n

Well, maybe the ROKR has a huge amount of phone memory. Oh wait, it doesn’t… it uses TransFlash, like other phones<\/a>.<\/p>\n

iPod interface? Well, you can’t get the full experience without a scroll wheel<\/a>, which the ROKR lacks.<\/p>\n

So uhm, what’s the advantage to this phone, again?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
