The Motorola ROKR E1 (also marketed as the MotoRokr E1) is a candy-bar style cell phone by Motorola, announced on September 7, 2005. The phone was conceived in a collaboration between Motorola and Apple; the ROKR E1 was integrated and compatible with iTunes, for which it gained the nickname iTunes Phone. The phone features stereo speakers and an iTunes client music player built by Apple with an interface similar to that of the iPod.
The Rokr E1 had been widely expected and rumored prior to its official launch, however it received a cold reception and is considered to have been a failure. This has been attributed to its cosmetic design, outdated hardware, and a 100-song limit. Despite this, Motorola made and released a successor without Apple's involvement, Motorola Rokr E2, while Apple eventually released its own iTunes-compatible cell phone, iPhone.
