Today Motorola announced three new ROKR-branded mobile phones. All three are music-focused devices and have FM radios with RDS, full-sized 3.5mm headset jacks and stereo Bluetooth. They each have a slot for microSD cards and include Motorola's Crystal Talk technology. They will become available in numerous world markets at various times during the third quarter.

EM30: This bar-style phone slightly resembles the ROKR E8 and shares its quad-band GSM/EDGE radios, 2 megapixel camera, and ModeShift, which switches the keypad between standard phone controls and music player controls. It loses the E8's scroll wheel and replaces it with a standard D-pad and soft keys. The EM30 can support microSD cards up to 8GB.
EM28: This ROKR is a clamshell that will come in two different tri-band GSM/EDGE configurations 850/1800/1900 and 900/1800/1900. It has dedicated touch-sensitive multi-modal music controls that are part of the front display. The EM28 has a 1.3 megapixel camera that also captures video, and it can support microSD cards up to 2GB.
EM25: This slider will be available in two different dual-band GSM models, one 850/1900 and one 900/1800. It shares the EM28's 1.3 megapixel camera and offers FMShare, which will share a radio station with others by sending it in a text message. It will support microSD cards up to 2GB.
