CES 2008 - Motorola ROKR E8!

I think Motorola is trying to revolutionize the look and feel of their handsets this year with Moto Rokr E8.

Instead of having the usual button keypad, they’re going for the iPhone-like look with a smooth “glasslike surface”. Well, sort of.

Music, of course, is a central theme here but the E8’s real news lies with its unique “ModeShift” technology. Instead of traditional keypad and navigation array, the Rokr features a smooth “glasslike” surface with touch-pad controls that digitally “morph” depending on how the handset is used. As you shift from phone to music to imaging modes, the backlight on the control changes to illuminate only the relevant buttons for your current function. The E8 also features Motorola’s first Haptics keypad with vibrating feedback and a “FastScroll” navigation wheel that makes it pretty seamless to navigate through long playlists. It’s not a complete circle but it’s pretty user-friendly - Cnet
