I was lucky enough to score myself an invite to Motorola’s<\/a> ROKR E1<\/a> – you know, the iTunes<\/a> phone – launch earlier this week, and although I was unsure if I could make it (Thursday is deadline day), I did manage to sneak in for a few hours after work. So like any good blogger, here’s the inside info…<\/p>\n

rokr_stage<\/p>\n

The event was held at Sydney’s Dragonfly club in Potts Points (the seedier end of town) and was by exclusive invitation only, but hey, I’m a journalist so I waltzed right in.<\/p>\n

Read on for the groovy details…<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

First, please don’t get me started on the implications of this partnership between Motorola and Apple<\/a>, it’s way too late. I’ll save that for another blog.<\/p>\n

What I will say is that it’s good to see Motorola kick off it’s media marketing campaign in such fine style. It may not have been much of a marketing company in the past but I think that’s about to radically change. Does anyone NOT have one of those slick RAZR<\/a> phones? Yeah, me! So after inventing the brick some twenty years ago, Motorola is still alive and screaming. Let’s hope it can kick on and really make an impact before it becomes irrelevant<\/a>. Man would I kill for one of these<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Bah, enough of that IT journalist thing, time to party!<\/p>\n

Well look what we have here… Gusworld<\/a>. Someone must have said free beer too loud.<\/p>\n

Never one to miss an opportunity, Alex Online<\/a> is seen here getting dangerously close to Linda, also from Howorth. Hey hyphen-hyphen, get your hands off buddy! You look like some sleasy Russian pimp!<\/p>\n

It was also good to catch up with a few hacks from ZDNet<\/a> and the lovely ex-IDGer Vivian.<\/p>\n

From L to R we have Munir, Jeremy, and Vivian.<\/p>\n

But the following group of chicky babes really made my night enjoyable. I’m saving the best for last here. Have you ever seen such a darling group of girls?<\/p>\n

Let’s see if my memory serves me VERY well. From L to R we have Amy, Anna, Clare, and Romona. Hopefully I got the spelling of those names correct. Hey, it’s only a few hours after we met.<\/p>\n

Sorry Romona, unfortunately I coudn’t stretch out the image vertically but don’t stress. You look absolutely fantabulous! And you have the personality to match. It was really great to meet you, I hope we catch up sooner rather than later.<\/p>\n

Well, I think that’s enough shotgun blogging for one evening. Please go easy with the flamethrower…<\/p>\n
