New pictures have emerged of Motorola’s latest music device, the ROKR E8, with ‘morphing’ controls.

Music phones are pretty much two a penny nowadays, with every manufacturer releasing their own version. However, Motorola’s latest has something rather special with which to stand out from the crowd – controls that morph from media player keys to a normal phone keypad.

According to details emerging about the device, it has an ‘Omega Wheel’ touch-sensitive keypad, 2GB of memory (plus mircoSD support), a Linux OS, a micro USB connection and two-megapixel camera, but it’s limited to GPRS/EDGE not 3G.

The music phone should be released before Christmas at a mid-range price, and you can see more pics here.
