The ROKR E2 from Motorola has been approved by the FCC. This is the second edition of the ROKR model, which was the first phone to feature iTunes. The handset is essentially an upgrade, trying to solve the problems which made the original ROKR receive negative feedback.

Although the prototype presented at CES 2006 didn't feature iTunes, the FCC documents hint that the Apple software might be included after all. The handset will run on the new Linux based operating
system and it will feature a 1.3 megapixel camera and a QVGA display. The flight mode will also be present, allowing users to listen to music and access the features non-related to calling while disconnected from the network.

Others features include FM radio, memory expansion via miniSD cards and Bluetooth connectivity. This time the ROKR E2 will support USB 2.0 for faster data transfer rates. A dedicated menu will allow quick access to musical controls such as Play, Pause, Skip, Forward/Backward.

Details about pricing and availability are yet unknown.
