. Its looks are very RAZR-esque, right down to the laser etched keypad. But the rest is all new hotness, as it eschews the T9 in favor of a touchscreen and stylus. And instead of the dreadful Motorola “OS,” it’s running a straight up install of Moto’s Linux. This type of setup is common on the Chinese markets, where the phone was first aimed.</p>
<p>If that’s not enough to start your brain wondering, take into consideration the 2 megapixel camera with macro focus, stereo Bluetooth and integrated FM transmitter. Would you like full-sized SD with that? You’ve got it.</p>
<p>We know what you’re thinking, “Thanks, CrunchGear, for showing us another lust-worthy phone that we’ll never see, because we’re not in Asia.” If you promise not to tell anyone, we’ll clue you in to a secret: this information is gleaned from its FCC listing, where it just won approval. Does that mean you’ll see it from your favorite GSM provider anytime soon? Don’t hold our breath, but stranger things have happened (remember the ROKR E1? Neither do we).</p>

is there any one could tell me the price of moto e6 in china,plz?
thank you!
has moto E6 been announced in all the countries ?
I buy it for 18000 INR in bangalore
Hi all,
Indeed i found the qualities of the phone good & I had already purchased it for a sum of rs. 17,000 with bill in Mumbai, India.
-> but I found it slow while you try to scroll your 40+ mp3’s song while you are in real player that’s very annoying believe me when you want to listen a song & you get stuck for a long time while scrolling.
-> also I found very difficult to type in a message using the touchscreen keyboard while traveling via bus auto etc. in Indian roads.
-> I also hope that Motorola should provide a drag & drop feature in it that will be a great add on.
-> it’s internal memory is too low only 8 MB.
-> camera when used at 2x+ zoom get disturbed & picture does not looks good, so 8x zoom feature provided is of no use at all.
-> no updates or third party utility can be installed on it if compared to Nokia’s or othe smartphone phone.
-> radio recording feature can be a good idea too.
-> there is no way i can play popular divx, xvid files int it if i wanted too.
-> Bluetooth wireless headset does not comes in the package as it shows in the ad.
-> phone is only GPRS capable, not EDGE or 3G & no Infra-red.
-> language support available is only chinese & english.
Thanks Ronald for such good information.

Which is the best choice,Moto Rokr E6 (18,000) or Nseries???I am thinking about Moto rokr.Please help
I’d go for N-series
Moto Rokr is a real cool phone … ronald had made valid ppoints especially the scrolling thing …. but man … the application loading is way too fast compared to a N70. … tried it personally. Also one thing is that there are no much third party softwares for this unlike nikia’s … but people dont forget its based on linux and so pretty soon the open source community will be flooding the goddies. My verdict .. netime better in terms of music quality, speed n features than a nokia n-series ( not the 95 one though … havent got to use it uptil now)
hey guys r there any two types in this like premium and normal
u know wut.. sumtime someone bought hphone from not ‘well’ shop. that’s why they got not really ‘genuine’ phone..
