It's interesting that the microUSB plug is seen as something negative, when it's suppose to be the industry standard...

You're quite right, Motorola should be applauded for this.

I also wanted to add a few points of my own, having had a chance to play with this phone over the weekend.

First and foremost it must be remembered this is a feature phone not an all-in-one. It's supposed to be good for playing back music and doing phone things. The browser, camera, and other extras, while less than revolutionary, are just added extras that do the basics.

Personally, I like the size of the phone. I don't have the largest hands but I find a lot of phones fiddly whereas the ROKR is just right. The weight is hardly what I would call excessive either.

The changing interface is also well done and easy to use. The only problem is the rotary dial that is completely unnecessary (take that out and get a bigger screen please).

Yes, the screen is proportionally small and seems a bit wierd. It doesn't NEED to be bigger, but it would be nice.

The phone is also a bit slow. It's not appalling, like the HTC Touch for example, but it takes a few minutes to get the hang of the phone's pace, especially if you're a frenzied phone user like me.

Overall, though, I think ROKR does what it sets out to very well; the speaker on the back is very good and great for casually listening in bed or in a tent, sound quality from the the 3.5mm socket is very good for a phone (it gets loud as well), call quality and battery life are good, you get expandability with the MicroSD slot, and the music player interface is excellent.

Most importantly, remember this is a phone that's free on nearly all contracts and only £150 P&G.

Here ends my tuppence.

Meh, didn't like it myself - not sure I could ever get on with those buttons.
