Yesterday, Motorola announced three new RORK music-centric phones, each one sporting a different form factor. Let’s briefly go through each one of the devices announced:
- EM25 – slider form factor, 1.8-inch 128×160 65k TFT screen, 1.3 megapixel camera.
- EM28 – clamshell with two screens (external: 1.2-inch 96×80 black and white matrix CLI; internal: 1.8-inch 128×160 65k TFT), 1.3 megapixel camera.
- EM30 – features ModeShift technology to illuminate the keyboard – red keys illuminate in music mode and a brilliant blue keypad appears in phone mode. There’s also a 2 megapixel camera on board.
All three devices come with a standard 3.5mm audio jack, FM radio with RDS, dedicated music keys, stereo Bluetooth support (A2DP), microSD expansion slot, and of course a music player application.
ROKR EM30 is expected to launch first in Taiwan then in other markets throughout the quarter, while ROKR EM28 and ROKR EM25 will be available later this quarter around the globe.

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
