iTunes Phone Revealed?

[xwk88]

I think it's a fake from what i've read it's supposed to be ivory white that was mentioned on mac rumors and on some french rumors site so that must be just some fake it does not look so bad.

If this is the real deal then you must understand it's a mock up. Not the final version. Mabe minor revisions, colours, etc... We'll see next tuesday...

Here's a screen cap of the MWSF video for those of you who don't want to watch it.

I think black is a redherring. I expect silver/metal or white.

That's the same style (E398) that has been appearing everywhere (often as white). Moto, however, have indicated that there are at least two models in the works, so there may be plain and fancy variants.

It doesn't look like something Apple would want its software in. It's kinda bulky, and what's with what looks like a scroll wheel, and a thumb stick? Is it going to be a chirp too because of the side buttons? What's up with this thing?

this is not an iphone, this is just simply a phone made by motorola that can do itunes, and thats why it looks unapple it looks very motorola because that is what it is

 

[iMeowbot]

The evil green glow isn't out of the question. It looks a lot like Moto's new E1060.

This pic was debunked a long time ago.

The new Moto is a e398 with some minor changes. It is not high end at all.

 

[SeaFox]

yeah, looks like an xbox in phone form... odd... and very clunky. i'll be pissed if this is the phone.

Probably just some Motorola marketing droid (who knows nothing about Apple)'s concept design. Bet the phone looks nothing like that.

No, not completely. The E1060, for example, has actually been demonstrated running iTunes. They already have multiple models capable of running it, and having a whole line of phones with iTunes enabled would explain having a press event around it a lot better than the one unit.

Ok, upon further examination it looks like the thing has a thumb stick, a keypad with a scroll wheel integrated into the keypad (so when you scroll on the green, it'll scroll, but a simple press will activate the button). On the side it's got some controls for the music, as well as a hold switch. It looks like everything is there, so we'll see.

the buttons and layout are grand and all, i'd just like to see a different color scheme, and hopefully much less clunky..

That picture was used in a Motorola presentation in January. It looks like an updated version of the E398 and I'm sure that's what the production phone will be based on.

OMFG I can p1ay Halo on teh iPHONE!!1111

I don't know man. A leak is a leak and there have been an awful lot of them this year from various companies. Having two companies work on something together can cause even more leaks, so I'm not going to make any assumptions until the "media event"

But it is rather XBOX like, not gonna lie.

Apple should have gone with Nokia.

Moto phones all stink.

 

[zv470]

Please, no. It looks like an Xbox phone! Won't be buying one of those.

hehe true.

How many people are in the market for a new phone? I am, I've got a 18 month old SonyEricsson T68i that's almost given up its ghost. I'm hoping to hold off a little longer though. Will probably get a Nokia Symbian phone, not a iTunes phone since iTMS isn't in New Zealand yet.

I always thought that apple was the company to build and develop a great GUI.

Which makes me wonder why they picked motorola for itunes. O my goodness, I will never get a motorola phone again. The GUI is so crappy that it would just be better for you to get pen-and-paper to hold phone numbers.

Or Sony Ericsson Phones, they are the best designed phones available.

 

[JesterJJZ]

Wow that's ugly.

Meh. I had a bad experience with my Sony Ericsson. Both my friend and I returned ours.

It looks like my sister's phone from T-Mobile, a Moto C650. I hope to God that isn't the final phone - if it's any indication, the C650 is awkward to dial, even more awkward to speak into, and just doesn't feel very good in your hand. I was hoping they would use the PEBL V6 or the SLVR V8. Oh well. I can dream. Attached pics are of the SLVR.

Every prototype except this has been very unappealing to me. Unappealing is un-Apple, and un-Apple won't sell if it has that logo. It will be sleek, svelt, and make you drool. If it isn't a huge tech flop will occur.

 

[w_parietti22]

I agree looks very unlike apple. All apples products are mostly gray or white...

you mean silver, right???

I like that a ot better than the picture of the phone that AI posted on their article. the green and blackk is very ugly and I woould never buy it.

 

[SFVCyclone]

is it just me or does the "scroll wheel" look fake? Also take a closer look at the keypad, i think its photoshoped. get my vote for FAKE!
