review

By Sascha Segan

In recent years, Motorola has become well known for building top-notch hardware but saddling it with uninspiring software. And the company proves true to form with the ROKR E8 for T-Mobile ($199.99 with contract). The new phone has a truly slick and innovative design, but once you turn it on, what's inside doesn't feel nearly as fresh.
