Motorola E6 Flash

Unlike my first Motorola phone, which I have already flashed 5 times within the first week of ownership, I went easier with my current phone. But after more than a half year, I just couldn't resist the temptation. So, last week I finally flashed my Motorola ROKR E6 for the first time, and upgraded the firmware to a newer version. And I don't have any regrets, because the phone became more responsive, faster, and sounds better, too.

I guess that the main reason why it took me so long to finally flash it is Motorola's EZX. As you might already know, it is Motorola's version of Linux for their mobile phones. The first thing I did after getting the phone was get a console app for it, and of course, you could already do a lot of modifications and customising with the console app, without the need to upgrade to another firmware. So, I guess I was content with meddling with the phone's settings through the console for a half year.

I don't think that's something you can get with any Symbian phone, so a big thank you to Motorola for bringing Linux to the world of mobile phones...

Now, if Motorola would somehow release their SDK to the masses, that would just be... superb...
