Wow. We've all been worked up over nothing. This should be updated on the MacRumors homepage.

Maybe the saw all the "damn what a ugly phone, no way i'm buying that." comments on the net, and switched phones on us.

What a relief - it was ugly as sin.

Interesting.

A Motorola spokesperson noted... that while iTunes was shown off with the E1060, this was a special case meant just for the demonstration. "E1060 was used to demonstate iTunes client; however, it is not our iTunes product."

...In an Apple-like fashion, Motorola is keeping the first iTunes enabled phone under very close wraps. While Motorola wanted to show off the software, it appears the company wanted to keep the device secret."

Note that there is not just ONE iTunes phone. Motorola plans to put iTunes on the whole lineup--so that will presumably include the E1060 when it happens.

But there does seem to be a FIRST iTunes phone, and apparently a big enough deal to make Moto wait and not put iTunes on the others until later.

So I guess that Apple-designed phone rumors must return for a while... I'm skeptical, but it's possible.

(PS, I never minded the look of the E1060 :) It's not Apple-like, and I'd rather the green were red or yellow--but it still looks nice to me.)

it will be interesting to see what phone they go with, and to see how much of the line up ends up getting iTunes ability.

Perfect! I hoped it wouldn't be as ugly as that one! Now we'll just have to wait and see..

That's good to hear because that phone was hideous.

Well maybe the new one won't be so fugly

This is very good news... it won't be ugly and it will be here before Thanksgiving. :D
