Relax. This is a mis-conception, since it runs on Linux doesn't mean you have to write commands to send a message or listen to music, what it means is that its open and nothing is hidden from the user., meaning if you become capable of developing an application for it, you can do it and also change the phone's internal working files to tweak(hack?) to your heart's desire. It is a phone and will act like one.

Let me give an example., the phone got 4 shortcuts on the desktop of which only 2 are editable by default, but you can unlock the other 2 by editing the phone's internal files. The firmware which comes default with E6 doesn't allow you to telnet in to the phone. Telnet is nothing but browsing your phone's internal files using an interface like Windows Explorer. But there is an application called eKonsole which is a console like in Linux on desktop and using this you can edit that particular file which contains the shortcut details.

See, its things like these which show the true spirit of Linux, does any other OS does this, on phone or PC? :)

PS: Check my sig for some more information.

ok thnx brother..... thnx alot.. last question to everyone is there any prob with rockr E6..? is the music n photo n video quality is not upto the mark...? what abt if i bundle it with good headfones.....?? this ques is mainly for those ppl who used it.....

Oct 9, 2007 at 2:39 PM
ok let me clear u
first the diff between N73 and N73ME is the MMc card and all black casing,stereo head phones which r not bundeld with normal N73
next.Moto rokr is good phone but if ur importance is cam video quality and music the Hero is N73ME.MOTO has 2.0 MP while N73 3.2 MP and N73 can record Movies in DVD FORMAT.
but if u want to custimize ur fully and can sacrifice good cam quality (N73)
then go for MOTO.
or else N73ME u hav tonzz of softs for N73 which will make ur MOBILE even coooooooooooleer

Music - outstanding (supports more formats than N73me)
Camera - good (1600x1200 max res, less than N73me)
Video - outstanding (5hrs recording, more than N73me more formats)

Listen don't be in 2 minds, after researching all about N73 you ask a last question about E6, if you're going for N73me go for it, its a good phone:)

If u showed me the photos, then it'll easy for me to decide between K790i & N73.

@azzu N73 does not record video in DVD quality. Its actually close to VCD quality cause its only 352x288 at 15 fps. For DVD-like quality you need atleast VGA resolution at 30 fps.
