Motorola Rokr E8 |
5 The Rokr E8 wins this round by a mile. I love its polished surface, slim profile, brilliant display, and solid construction. This is one phone that feels comfortable in the hand and looks great, too. |
4 The Motorola Rokr E8's overall shape and form aren't particularly eye-grabbing, but when combined with the black glassy surface and illuminated keys, the phone is really sexy. |
5 Though both phones are decidedly slim, I have to give the edge to the Rokr E8 due to its glossy black finish and the amazing morphing abilities of its ModeShift keypad. |

Nokia Xpress Music 5310 |
4 The 5310 is attractive, but it can't quite match the Rokr E8 in the looks department. It does offer a brilliant display, a razor-thin profile, and eye-catching color schemes, but it won't stand out in the cell phone crowd. |
3 The Nokia 5310 is a decent looking phone, but it's nothing special in my eyes. And, I never thought I would say this, but the Nokia 5310 is almost too small for me. |
4 While we marvel at how thin the Nokia 5310 Xpress Music is, it just doesn't have the sex appeal of the Rokr E8. |
