ROKR EM30: 50% Talk, 50% Music, 100% You
One moment ROKR EM30 is a mobile phone; the next, it transforms into your favorite music player.

With colorful cues that let users know exactly which mode they are in, the ROKR EM30 connects the sounds that matter most: family, friends and favorite artists.
In addition to the basics in talking and texting, ROKR EM30 is loaded with other great features for music lovers too, including high-fidelity audio and seconds-fast MP3 downloads1-3 for listening to their favorite tunes. Consumers will know the artist and song playing on the FM radio with Radio Data System (RDS)4 technology. The 3.5mm stereo headset jack provides consumers the flexibility to use the headset of their choice with ROKR EM30. Compatibility with Windows Media® Player 11 provides the freedom to download music from more than 200 online music stores worldwide.1-3
ROKR EM28: Sonic Performance

The phone has a dedicated music key so consumers can simply access stored music and familiar music controls to play, pause, forward and rewind songs. Consumers can use FMShare to share a favorite station with friends by sending it in a text message and SONGID technology to identify a song while out and about.1-3
