You heard it from me first! The first ever Motorola E790 Apple iTunes pictures are out!

Emultion_Rawks · 07-03-2005, 06:12 PM

I love it! It looks even better then the mock ups! LOVE it!

I'm a bit apprehensive about mixing the two devices together. In fact I'm not overly keen on having a mobile phone in the first place. I'm sure people coped pretty well without one. I gave in, and followed the crowd like a right sheep. Same could probably be said about my taste in DAP.

Besides, where is the white styling and the Apple trademarks. This is a generic piece of grey rubbish. It looks like every other mobile phone out there. I was more excited about the new Nokia twisty phone. If Apple wanted to venture into the mobile phone market, with or without Motorola, then wouldn't they have plumped for something they've designed? And not something that has fallen out of the Motorola reject bin.

Will anyone be buying this? If so, is it because it is iTunes?

Emultion_Rawks · 07-03-2005, 06:23 PM

I might very well buy this!

I really like it!

Verita' · 07-03-2005, 06:27 PM

Meh.

Kristiano · 07-03-2005, 07:31 PM

Nothing more to say?

It looks very good but I just got my new phone yesterday...

violinmathchick · 07-03-2005, 08:35 PM

I wonder how the battery will perform on this phone. I listen to music for many hours on end, and if I don't have the charger on me when the battery dies on the phone from listening to music I am left with a dead phone - which, in New York City, is NOT a good thing.

Well, in a market flooded with thousands of cell phone designs, it's rather average. I'd imagine something more representative of the Mac lineup, with a more streamlined design. A wimpy iTunes interface isn't enough reason for me to give up my LG's (which I get for free), my Palm or my Blackberry.

[zerophase] · 07-03-2005, 08:49 PM

doesn;t look awsome... but not bad

i wish it were a flipphone

Its a Motorola E398 with iTunes software...big deal. The E398 has been out for ages and all they've done is add a Music button above the joystick. However this is probably just a prototype to demonstrate the software, or perhaps a lower end model that they're going to release. They'll probably be making lots of different models, some of which are hopefully designed by Apple. I hate the Motorola font as well...

Do you guys think that the appeal of having one gadget whcih does all will get people to carry their phones all the time and leave the iPod and other DAPs at home?

That is what the cell phone industry is banking on. That and the belief that people will pay $2 or $3 for a song if they hear something while out and about rather than waiting to get home.

I'm happy with my Nokia 6630 and 30GB iPod

I might get an iPhone or an iTunes phone for my next phone as a show of my support for Apple. As long as the UI is usable and it looks good, I have no qualms. But switch immediately? Naw.

How can you carry that 6630 around with you Kris ? They are almost the size of a house brick...
