Last night at an exclusive London event, Motorola launched the MOTO ROKR E8 handset, which is aimed at music aficionados.

Featuring ModeShift technology, it turns from a music player back to a phone with the touch of one button, and has FastScroll navigation for rolling through your songs – you can store 3,000 of them due to the 2GB of storage – and locate the one you want easily. Unfortunately you have to use Windows Media Player 11 to transfer those tunes, however.

Specs-wise, there’s Bluetooth, a full HTML web browser, haptics, a 2.0-megapixel camera, and microSD card slot. Sadly…

Transformed: the robot that's a Motorola ROKR in disguise

Fancy a Motorola ROKR mobile? No? Okay, it’s not the most inspiring handset in the world. What if it could turn into a robot though, eh? Thought that’d get your GeekDrool going.

Check this out. I have no idea who made it, why they did it, or how much it cost. But I do know that I want one – more even than I want an iPod Touch, a crate of organic cider, or a hooky Russian oil billionnaire to fund Bishops Stortford FC. It’s genius.
