Music-optimized phone is a top seller at leading electronics retailer in
China
BEIJING, June 22 /Xinhua-PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Following the
exciting announcement of the Motorola ROKR E2 at Music Matters Hong Kong in
May, Motorola, Inc. (NYSE: MOT) is pleased to offer Chinese consumers the
opportunity to be the first in the world to purchase the ROKR E2 at GOME
outlets across the PRC, available now. The ROKR E2 is the newest member of
the company's ROKR family of music-optimized mobile handsets.
Recently named China's most valuable home appliance retailer by World
Brand Lab, GOME is the ideal destination for young and style-conscious
consumers to purchase electronic and mobile devices. ''The global exclusive
debut of the ROKR E2 at GOME is a key result of the strategic partnership
we have with Motorola," said Wang Junzhou, vice general manager of GOME
Home Appliances and general manager of Strategy & Co-operation Center. "The
ROKR E2 is already a hit at GOME, after only a few days on the market, the
ROKR E2 is one of the best selling handsets at GOME."
Mr. Li who purchased a ROKR E2 at a Shanghai GOME store expressed, "I
have been researching the ROKR E2 on-line for quite a while and the E2 has
consistently received very good reviews. Finally I have my own E2! I really
like the 3.5mm standard headset jack and dedicated music player keys for me
to conveniently access my music. When I get home, I am going to store my
favorite songs on my 2GB removable SD card so I can take my music with me."
While shopping for the ideal mobile music device, Ms. Tian purchased a ROKR
E2 at a Beijing GOME store, "I like to listen to music wherever I go. I saw
a lot of different music handsets at GOME, but I feel the E2 is the best in
value."
''Early ROKR E2 results already exceeded Motorola's expectations. The
ROKR E2 is the handset of choice for mobile music enthusiasts who want to
carry just one device that keeps them connected and in tune with the fast
pace of their lives,'' said Michael Tatelman, Motorola corporate vice
president and general manager, North Asia Mobile Devices.
ROKR E2 features a robust MP3 player compatible with a variety of
different audio formats, giving users the ability to download and play MP3,
WAV, AAC files and more. Dedicated music keys on the handset's side and
front let users navigate playlists, play/pause, skip backward/forward, and
hold. With a USB 2.0 cable, it takes only seconds to transfer a song from
PC to ROKR E2.
Connect to ROKR E2 via a standard 3.5mm headset or wirelessly via the
built-in stereo Bluetooth audio connection. Motorola offers a wide range of
music accessories to optimize the ROKR E2 experience including the newly
announced O ROKR Eyewear, Motorola Bluetooth DJ Headphones S805, and JBL
OnTour(TM) Mobile. Additionally, ROKR E2 comes with airplane mode, allowing
safe listening while flying. Other multimedia features include a 1.3
megapixel camera for pictures, video capture and playback.
