Motorola is testing out their innovative new operating system in the ROKR e2, but how does this menu setup stack up against the competition? Is this JavaLinux system an improvement over the old interface? PhoneScoop got their dirty little hands on an e2 to fiddle with, and in the end, they conclude that it is “still basically the same OS”, despite being slightly more user friendly and having a couple of extra features. As far as the rest of the specs are concerned, the ROKR e2 rocks a 1.3 megapixel cam, FM tuner, expansion slot, USB 2.0, and Bluetooth.
