E398 and ROKR E1 phones is the same, it is possible to Crossflash Motorola

.
While the phone is equipped with an upgradeable 512 MB microSD memory card, it is restricted by its firmware to allow only one hundred songs to be loaded at any time, so that it would not directly compete with the iPod series.
The arbitrary song limit hurt the ROKR's appeal. Many users also discovered that transferring music to the phone was slow compared to dedicated players, due to lack of support for Hi-Speed USB. Lastly, the ROKR was criticized for being too much like the preceding E398. As a result, the ROKR E1 sold below expectations despite a high-profile marketing campaign.
Relations between Motorola and Apple were also strained because the latter unveiled the iPod nano
at the same time, and Motorola CEO Ed Zander later accused Apple of purposely undercutting the ROKR.
The ROKR E1 was replaced by the E2 (see below) which lacked iTunes and superseded by the iTunes enabled SLVR L7.

Details
The phone is part of Motorola's line of phones running Linux, this one using a modified 2.4.20 kernel. This has upset some, as they broke the GPL in not releasing the kernel source code. The software is an updated version of MING (Motorola A1200), but the file system is a bit different. So most of the apps that work on the MING work on the E6, but some may not due to the file system. Normally the phone only runs on tri-band GSM networks, though some have found an exploit to get it to run on Quad Band networks and over Edge. The radio channel frequency can also be modified beyond 88MHz to 65MHz, and the preset number of channels can also be modified.Two versions of this phone have been made, the original Licorice Black, and a special edition Jay Chou orange color.
