EXPERT REVIEW

Design And Build Quality

The Motorola labs have done well in styling this phone. True, it does resemble the Pebl but they have done away with the prominently placed screen on the exterior and replaced it with a camouflaged OLED screen that definitely gives it an edge over the Pebl. The exterior of the phone has a combination of two finishes. The lid of the phone has a high gloss finish and the lower part has a matte finish. The combination is good and gives the phone a touch of class. Sadly though, the high gloss finish has a tendency to pick up more fingerprints than a crime scene technician.

Front closed

Located just above the external screen is the camera lens. Combining the location of the camera with the flames on the screen below gave me a feeling of looking at a low budget remodelling of Sauron's eye from the Lord Of the Rings.

Left side

Right side

To the right of the camera lens is a camouflaged LED that acts as the charge indicator while the phone is kept for charging. Below the camera lens is a bluetooth icon that blinks when there is an active Bluetooth connection.

If i want something more of a media player and less as a phone would it be the right choice.

motorola should reduce the price if they r planning 2 sell the rokr u9, i myself was planning on buying that as i m currently using the moto pebl u6 but it turns out the phone's camera is horrible (but gud compared 2 the old pebl), music is awesome and finally it comes with a memory card(the old pebl had only 6mb in-built memory and no memo card) i would consider buying the phone only if it were at a lower price probably between Rs 6000 - 7000
