Customer feedback:

1. I recently upgraded to the ROKR E6 from my RAZR v3. This is a great little all-around phone and I’m very happy with it so far. It may not be the best choice for power users who need really high-end PDA functionality, but it’s solid in the basics.
As mentioned in other reviews, when you get the phone its menus are in Chinese; to change this to English you must tap the icon in the upper left corner of the screen to bring up the menu icons. Scroll down and tap the settings icon which looks like a wrench. Tap the 5th option from the top to see language choices and you can then select English. The documentation is also in Chinese, but if you search online you can find an English version in .pdf format.
2. One nifty feature is the handwriting recognition, having been a Palm user, I had no problems adapting to it, there are some differences in the handwriting recognition versus the Palm, but they should not pose a problem for experienced users. The recognition setting comes initially set to slow, I switched it to medium but it still is slower than my stylus skills, so I might have to set it to fast and see if that improves it rate of recognition so I can not have to wait between writing one letter before writing the next. I’ve paired it with my Palm TX and my Plantronics Voyager 510, without any problem. However, I’ve not seen the option of dropping the bluetooth connection with the device and the handset. As the device is new I assume I’ve not located it yet. It would be a cumbersome deal if one has to turn off bluetooth completely when you do not want to use the headset.
