Motorola’s ever-expanding line of ROKR music phones saw yet another offspring on Tuesday with the announcement of the new MOTOROKR EM35. The rounded-edge slider features a variety of audio-enhancing features tailored to music, as well as staples like a 3.1-inch camera and Bluetooth.
The EM35 will be one of the few cell phones to include virtual surround sound, which Motorola claims will change the earbud listening experience to make it sound as if music is coming from around your head, rather than in your ears. The phone will include two music players: Motorola’s own Motomusic player with music store access, and Windows Media Player 11. There’s also a built-in FM tuner with RDS and SongID, which can identify radio songs automatically.
Users can listen through external stereo speakers, headphones using the standard 3.5mm headphone jack, or wireless headphones using the phone’s stereo Bluetooth capabilities. And to make it even more music friendly, Motorola has included dedicated music buttons on the outside and a FastScroll wheel for quickly navigating libraries.
The MOTOROKR EM35 will debut later this quarter, but Motorola has not yet announced a price.
