Comment Why I returned the ROKR (Score 2, Insightful) 470

Picked one of them up from the Cingular store on Saturday and returned it Sunday afternoon. While it's a nice concept, the execution left this Mac-head cold. Some observations: - Definitely an iTunes interface "bolted" into a standard Motorola phone - Being notified/interrupted by phone calls while listening to MP3s is a cool idea. I used this while riding my bike Sunday morning and it was quite handy. - The included headset is terrible. Sound quality though those earphones is poor and ruins the music experience. - I don't know if the phone is underpowered or what, but the screen-to-screen navigation through iTunes was very, very slow. - The phone requires all music to be converted to 128-Kbps AAC format. This is fine for music purchased on the iTunes Music Store, but not for high-bitrate MP3s. Anyway, I'd give it a 4 out of 10. I realized that I'm better off with my current cell phone and an iPod nano.
