Description
Motorola ROKR E8 + 1GB Memory Card, T-Mobile Postpaid, Best of CES, New, T-Mobile branded
This listing is the Motorola E8 Rokr for T-Mobile Postpaid, brand new, bundled with a 1GB Memory Card, and tagged Best OF Ces in the listing name for the 2008 award coverage. It is a 2G GSM phone, so the buyer is a collector dealer, a prop department, or an exporter to a live 2G market rather than a US activation dealer. The ModeShift keypad is the feature these buyers pay for.
The Motorola ROKR E8 is a 2008 music candybar that won Best of CES attention for its ModeShift morphing keypad: the face is a blank panel that lights up as a phone keypad, a music controller, or camera controls, with haptic feedback and a FastScroll wheel. It carries 2 GB of internal storage, a microSD slot rated to 4 GB, a 2 MP camera, FM radio, a 3.5 mm jack, stereo Bluetooth 2.0, and CrystalTalk noise handling. The T-Mobile version is a 2G GSM phone with EDGE data and no 3G.
TG Wireless sells it to collector shops and prop houses that want a landmark Motorola design, and to exporters serving live 2G GSM markets.

Condition: New
Brand new units in the original box with the original in-box accessories as listed. Nothing has been activated or reconditioned. If your channel needs sealed retail packaging rather than open-box new, say so when you request a quote so the account manager can confirm how the lot is packed.
Network and compatibility
The ROKR E8 is a 2G GSM phone with EDGE data and no 3G or LTE radio. T-Mobile shut down its 2G GSM network on August 3, 2026, and the other US carriers retired 2G and 3G earlier, so this handset will not get service on any US carrier today. Lock state is per listing; it is T-Mobile branded, see the network status line in the table. Realistic uses are export to markets where 2G GSM on 850 or 1900 MHz is still live, collector and enthusiast sales, props, and offline use as a music player.
Resale fit
- Collector and enthusiast shops that trade in landmark Motorola designs from the RAZR and ROKR era.
- Film, TV, and theater prop departments that need a 2008 T-Mobile handset.
- Export to markets where 2G GSM 850/1900 service is still live.
- Offline music-player and display use where the ModeShift keypad is the draw.
