Data transfer, battery
There is no 3G. EDGE is the fastest protocol supported by EM30 on the mobile networks. This isn't much, but the browser that comes with the phone is not bad, as it uses a landscape layout, which is quite good for web browsing – this is due to the screen's shape. Anyway, web browsing on EM30 is recommended only for people with lots of patience.
At local level we can use microUSB for connecting the Motorola with our PC, in this case we can use the memory card as an external drive or the MotoSync software can tamper with the internal memory. Bluetooth 2.0 is of course supported, but for some reason copying is extremely slow, the maximum speed I have seen was under 30 KB/s.
The battery is the same as in E8. With an above average use (2 hours of talk, 10-15 text messages, continuous Bluetooth, a minimum of music) the handset stayed online for 2 days. This a completely average performance.
Summary. In order to judge EM30, we have to know its price. This is currently about €155 EUR, for this sum we can almost buy a Nokia 5320, but we can have a SE W580, not mentioning one of the current best deals, Samsung L700 for €110 EUR. The only reason for which we might choose EM30 is that it's unique, if we consider its features the ROKR phone doesn't perform very well, although it's still about 40 euros cheaper than E8. Because of it's uniqueness it's:
