Another Apple scam

This phone claims to be an MP3 player, but will not download any music files not formatted by iTunes. My girlfriend bought this phone to use the MP3 player, but since none of us are willing to let Apple control what we listen to and how we spend our money, we cannot use the phone to play music.
Buyers beware, this is another one of Apples ripoffs. If there is some way to download independent music files, the method is so difficult and convoluted that none of the programmers or engineers that we've shown the phone to can figure it out.
As a phone, it seems fine. It makes and recieved calls, seems to carry a reliable signal, and the sound from the earpiece is on par with most cell phones. Not to say that most cell phones produce clear sound, but it's no worse than any others.
The disco lights and cheezy dance inspired ringtones are lovely gimicks for the modern party girl.

KOOL ROKR

I bought this phone because I need a spare and didn't want to spend a lot of money. (I drop mine a lot at work). If you just need the basics, this phone is perfect. Sound quality is very good, it's very easy to navigate through the phone, and it's fun!!! It holds up to 100 songs, has headphones so you can listen to it like an mp3 player and when you get a phone call the music stops and you can take your call.
If there is a downside it would be life of the battery, but if you can remember to plug it in at night, it's not a problem.

ROKR E1 is for teh win!

Even though this phone has been discontinued, you can still find it free with new contracts. The phone takes great pictures, great mp3 sound, and has upgradeable memory. The down fall of this phone is that the circuit board for the keypad buttons is very sensitive to water and easily damaged. However the phone is easily repaired with the proper screwdriver and parts are readily available on ebay from other phones or resellers. I have repaired mine and resold parts on ebay several times.

Great sound

This phone has STEREO speakers so you can share your music with others. I use mine while I get ready in the morning. You can overide the 100 song limit(check the web). All the features you could want: bluetooth, MP3 ringtones, internet, etc... Great unit.

Great Phone but some flaws

This was a great phone when it first came out. I would only purchase this phone if you wanted a low prices MP3 phone. My charger for the phone doesn't properly charge the phone and my card for my videos, iTunes, etc does not work anymore and had to purchase a new one. Also sometimes the phone will automatically shut off. I would not really purchase a phone with MP3's on it if you have an iPod because I use my iPod more than my Rocker E1. If your looking to consolidate a MP3 and a phone together on a tight budget definitely purchase this phone it will give you what you want but you may have to invest some more money in it to keep it going after a year or so.
