Motorola ROKR E6

Business Features
The E6 also uses a Viewer that at first I thought was just a duller version of your File Manager. It won't open music or video files. But that's because if you don’t read the manual you’ll not know it's meant to be a document viewer. It will open your JPEGS though. May be they should have chosen a better name than one as generic as "Viewer". But I gotta say, it's a handy feature. It reads .DOC, .TXT, .XLS, .PDF and .PPT formats. It also allows you to view PNG images, HTML documents and you can adjust the views using the zoom keys to magnify the text and move the page around using the Stylus. All the files are read only though. I couldn't seem to go to the next page of any file I opened till I read the Help option (another reason to memorize the manual before jumping in) that explains that you simply need to run the stylus at the bottom of the screen to change pages. With PDF files though, if you zoom in too much the picture becomes blurry and ineligible.

Another handy feature is the Business card reader. It's quick and quite accurate except when it comes to email addresses. You end up with gibberish. Other business functions are pretty average. They include the calendar, notes, tasks, calculator, alarms etc. Nothing different from any other phone.

Connectivity
The browser, (like the MING’s) allows you to simultaneously open 2 or more pages. That way you can check two different bits of information by simply switching between screens just like on your PC. Obviously you know the phone has Bluetooth (V2.0) that has A2DP capabilities since I’m sure you’ve seen the TV commercial and are quite eager to know about the headset the actor uses. We’ll get to that, hold on. You can also use the E6 as a modem and connect it to your PC via USB 2.0 to transfer data or sync it with your PC for your schedules, tasks contacts back up etc. With EDGE you’re web connectivity is certainly faster as well. The E6 can also download your mails for you as it does have Push Mail functionality.
