Motorola's ROKR EM25 music phones slides into our hands on our exclusive preview. Will it bring music to the masses?

Motorola ROKR EM25 Specs »  Gallery »
Motorola ROKR EM25 The Motorola ROKR EM25 is a slick-looking little slider that has all the familiar design elements from Motorola to declare itself both a RIZR-family device and low-end. The simple menus were nothing special, nothing to scream music phone, and the only really unique music feature is the ability to share radio station suggestions with friends based on some SongID information. But Motorola has given the entire low-end of the ROKR family a little feature bump by including their tried and true Crystal Talk technology, Moto's brand of noise cancellation for voice microphone's on their devices. We always like to see a phone manufacturer remember what this stuff is all about: making phone calls. In our brief time with the device, we found the build quality to be pretty solid, and it's a pill of a slider, so it should fit nicely in a pocket for music on the go. Pricing and availability have still yet to be announced, but the way that Motorola reps kept stressing the words "Global Launch" makes us think they really mean "Not in the U.S.". For a complete look at the new Motorola ROKR family, check out our handy comparisonof these 3 new phones. Release: November 2008.
