Motorola ROKR E8 officially lands on Rogers
Best Buy may have beat it to the punch, but Rogers has now finally gotten official with its launch of Motorola's ROKR E8 handset, and it's given the phone a bit of a price cut in the process. According to Rogers, the phone will now run you $99 on the usual three-year contract but, coincidentally, Best Buy now looks to be offering it for just $65 on the same three-year deal. Rogers Chief Marketing Officer John Boynton also assures us that the phone will finally let us "rock out in style" and, as we're sure you'll agree, that's something you just can't put a price on.

What in the hell is wrong with Motorola?!?! Why do they insist on making phones that look like $10 GoPhones? Did they pull the screen from a space-age color StarTAC prototype that some dropped behind the breakroom fridge around 1998? Come on...

Its actually a pretty nice screen. 2" QVGA widescreen. It would be great for watching movies when travelling.
Don't knock it till you try it.

The problem w/ the phone isn't the screen. It's the fact that in their promo photos the screen matches the phone & makes it look small & pointless.
The dev dept shouldn't get fired, but the marketing one might need a kick.

It's a pretty good phone but it's sad that in Canada they allow 3-year contracts.
