The E1 is showing "end of life" on the b2b pricing list, so I would guess that the E2 could replace it. However, the V3i supposedly will support iTunes on Cingular, so I don't know if both the E2 AND the V3i will be on Cingular. If Cingular doesn't get it, I'd be surprized if no one picked it up.
...
well since the SLVR replaced the ROKR, I doubt the e2 will make an appearance at cingular...
I believe the v3i will be here..
besides the e2 isn't a "true" itunes phone, but may make an appearance somewhere using the itunes software as you can get it customized with any number of music programs.

i called motorola and they said cingular would carry and set to come out in the summer. but the cingular store said they wont carry it. which makes no sense cuz one said yes and the other said no but whynt they since they had the first roker.
...
I called motorola yesterday, and they told me they have no clue as to when the ROKR E2 will come out.
But SUMMER!!! Really? That sux!!!
I have a feeling that they told you that because their site says ''first half of 2006.'' I'm hoping phoonescoop is right by classifying it as ''first quarter of 2006.''

Cingular has the SLVR instead of the ROKR. I asked my rep and he said cingular had no plans to carry the new rokr.
...
I highly doubt that a rep will know what Cingular plans to do. I think this sort of thing is decided much higher up in the company and no rep will be consulted for their opinions. Thus I don't think that a rep is a reliable source.
Further, I believe the contrary that Cingular will carry this phone. The SLVR is an exact copy of the ROKR E1 in a sexier body (so to speak). While the E2 is a completely new phone. This phone will be much more advanced and will offer a much wider variety of features than the SLVR. They will be priced differently and thus marketed to different market segments. (i.e. the SLVR will be marketed to the hip and cheek, while the ROKR E2 will be aimed at a more technologically savvy crowd (so called trend setters). In o...

that sux i really wanted cingular to get the rockr e2 if not i guess ill wait and see if they get the nokia 8801 and if not ill get the slvr.
...
ppl at cingular told me they didnt know and others said no but i called motorola and they said it was a cingular phone so who do i trust.
...
Since Cingular discontinued ROKR E1, I think it is pavign the way for the introduction of E2!!! đ
...
thats great news cuz im waiting for this phone i still have the old v600 ive had it atleast 3 yrs now. the only question is when will cingular have it?
...
I hope that the ROKR E2 comes to Cingular! I have a W600i I love, but i'm on the third unit due to the White Screen Of Death and I think it might me time to try something else. In a search, the ROKR E2 seems to fit everything I want and need..I'm a pocket tech geek, and I love everything this phone seems to offer...definetely the 9 HOUR battery life! That should take the risk out of texting as much as I do! đ
...
Im tired of waiting when and where is this phone going to be available? if someone has an answer plz email me at bilgami@hotmail.com
...
This phone is a Motorola. It will be defective!
3 words sony ericsson w800
...
I called cingular and they are getting the rockr by the end of june early july. i even had the rep put me on a waiting list to where they will call or email me the week before the phone hits the store so i can buy it over the phone rather than the store cuz its cheaper to buy over the phone rather than going to the store.
...
we will see about this. i know that when the v3i will drop. but ive havent seen or heard anything about the e2. hopefully this person is right because ive been wanting this phone for quite some time.

Sad news from this end. The Cingular Rep I talked to says it's coming sometime in the fall. âšī¸
...
aw thats messed up if true.
sounds about right thought with the v3i pushbacks. im not sure if they'd want more than one moto itunes device on the shelves.
i know i would.
...
I was told yes and some time this summer.

I have been contacting both Motorola and Cingular throughout July... Motorola signed me up on there site to leave questions and comments and get "answers" I use that very loosely!!! It's coming to Cingular but When I mentioned the first part of July release date they went in and retracted it on the rokr e2 pages (web and pdf) and left the "first quarter of '06'" That was yesterday.... I don't mean to speculate but I have a feeling the two companies are sqwabbling over price or something!!! I asked them why China's got it but we don't... no answer to that!!! lol I did find it on China E-bay for about $300US (had to convert from Chinese of course) - http://cgi.ebay.com.cn/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI tem&item=220005256091&ih=012&category=74846...
