Motorola Rokr E8	5 The Rokr E8's music quality was very good. Sound wasn't too tinny and it had a lot of warmth. Deep bass was lacking, but that's typical on a music cell phone. On the other hand, it bests its rival by offering better external speakers.	4 This was a pretty tough round for me. Both phones had very good sound quality during music playback. However, I felt the E8 had just a tad more bass when tracks were played through the phone's speakers.	5 I have to give the tip of the hat to the Rokr E8 on this one. The battle was close, but, I admit, I appreciate the richer and more dulcet tones of the Rokr E8. Also, the speakers don't have that tinny effect that plagues most music phones.	14
Nokia Xpress Music 5310	4 The 5310's music quality is excellent as well. If it weren't for the aforementioned speaker, there isn't a whole lot of difference between it and the Rokr E8.	4 See comment above.	4 The music quality of the Nokia 5310 Xpress Music was decent, but its speaker sound was not as good as that on the Rokr E8.	12

Winner: Motorola Rokr E8
