I’m a Rok’r

Late last year, I purchased a second hand O2 XDA IIs phone. I told myself that this was the phone for keeps.

Because of the scratches, I thought about having it masked or recolored or something like that.  I found out earlier on that there were no available replacement housing for this unit so having it masked or have some blown art done on it was the way to go.

I never got around to having that done.

This PDA phone came with a stylus (that I lost) so what I did was treat it like it was an iPhone. Yes, I used my thumb and index finger to navigate through the menus and even to tap out my messages. I had a touch screen phone! Haha.

On Friday afternoon, Vera excitedly told me about a phone she had seen at work.  The Motorola Rokr E8.  Apparently it was being marked down and for the features it carried, it was a steal. We agreed to go hunting for it on Saturday.  Timing! One of the buttons on my phone had actually fallen out, the Home button I think it was.

After lunch on Saturday, we headed out to Greenhills. After walking around and haggling with several  stall owners, we finally found one who sold us the Rokr’s at the price very near to what we wanted.  We got three. One for me, one for Vera, and one for her Kuya Bads.  We also bought pouches: black for me, red for her, and gray for him.

The phone goes all black when it’s locked.  And the keypad control changes depending on the phone mode as you see in the above photo.  It has 2g internal memory, and will hold up to 6 or 8g more of external memory via micro SD card.  It also has a 2MP camera.

So this isn’t a new model, but so what? It’s awesome!
