Motorola ROKR U9 exclusive music phone: PEBL gets an upgrade
The Motorola ROKR U9 is an exclusive music phone and is a new phone for the ROKR series, the ROKR U9 looks a little like the Motorola PEBL when you look at it but these ROKR U9 handsets feature a 3.5 mm jack, mini-USB slot plus features an external color display and music controls (you know like that of the RAZR2).
This mobile phone is expected to be at the top of the bill and must say I agree the Motorola ROKR U9 looks great and is basically a music phone that looks sleek and stylish (throw the MP3 player out and get one of these).
Pricing and even availability are scarce at the moment, but rest assured we will cover it again.

Remember that the Motorola Razr 2 is coming out soon.
There is a pretty cool contest going on at the site. If you sign up for updates you get to download a photo editing widget (“Cutting Art”) and you get entered into a contest where you might win a pair of S9 Bluetooth headphones.

I bought this model in Bombay, India. And there seems to be a design defect in it. I am having problem with this piece since I bought. Within 2 weeks, its flap would not open smoothly. I found that the corner of the band (which goes round the sides of the phone) is sticking out and eventually broke off.
I took it to a Motorola service centre, and they said I’ll have to pay for the repairs, as the damaged part was not covered in the warrantee. I agreed. But they eventually did it free of cost as they saw many customers coming with the SAME defect (11 on the same day as mine!).
After repairs, the flip top worked smoothly. Now, after 5 months, the same problem is happening again…and I am at my wits end!!
