    Someone inquired about this phone in another thread and, whoops, here it is:

    7. ROKR E1: The Oakley Thump of the mobile phone set; at least it's a decent phone. The hype around "The First iTunes Phone" created unfulfillable expectations. It's not as polished as an iPod, and its oddly limited music storage makes a mediocre player even worse. Glacially slow music-transfer speeds put the final nail in this coffin. Sony Ericsson sells a much better MP3-phone combo, but I suggest a shuffle and a RAZR phone: Cheaper—and better, too.

    Wow. Those are some scathing - though humorous - write-ups.

    Boatloads of overstock, pithy writeups, one product a day, sale starts at midnight, online community, even a wikipedia entry! Don't know if any of the mentioned bottom 10 were ever sold on woot though. sort of doubt it, but never know....
