The phone is geared towards music-conscious users, with an FM radio tuner and support for MIDI, MP3, AAC, AAC+, eAAC+, WMA, WAV, AMR-NB, and RealAudio music files. Motorola’s ModeShift technology allows the user to toggle between music player and phone function with the touch of a virtual button. The ROKR also supports MMS, SMS, e-mails, and instant messaging. Other features include a USB 2.0 interface port, separate headphone jack, Bluetooth, full web browser, and voice readout of text messages.
