Motorola’s ROKR EM30, which is a lower end version of their ROKR E8 has just been launched in India. The only visible difference in these two handsets other than the color combos is the fact that the EM30 is sans a touch sensitive and Navigation Scroll wheel.

The EM30 features a 2-inch TFT display and although it may not have a touch sensitive keypad it does have specific application-centric keys that are activated depending on the application that’s activated. Other features include a 2MP camera media player, FM radio with RDS and microSD card support (up to 8GB). The EM30 also has Bluetooth with A2DP, supports EDGE/GPRS and USB 2.0. You can also opt to use your own earphones since the handset has a standard 3.5mm earphone socket. CrystalTalk is of course Motorola’s standard for all their new handsets and the EM30 is also compatible with downloads from Motorola’s online MOTOMUSIC site.
The handset is priced at Rs. 8,959 which seems like a better price than the E8 obviously, but let’s hope the handset fares better in the review. Stay Tuned.
