Prizefight: Motorola ROKR E8 vs. Nokia 5310 XpressMusic



Round 1: Sexiness



Design and looks count for a lot when you're shopping for a cell phone, so here's where we examine the look, size, feel, and sex appeal of these two devices. Our judges' individual ratings are based on a 0-to-5-point scale, which result in a final score of 0 to 15 points per round.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

While we marvel at how thin the Nokia 5310 XpressMusic is, it just doesn't have the sex appeal of the ROKR E8.
