Motorola's iTunes Phone - This Week?

Newsweek reports on Motorola's recent turnaround success with its cell-phone business. In the article, they also mention that their previously announced iTunes-compatible phone is due this Thursday:

This Thursday, Motorola is expected to announce the first handsets that will carry Apple's popular iTunes music software.


Apple originally announced the plan to license iTunes for Motorola last year. Motorola has made several announcements this year about the upcoming iTunes phone but no details or images have been released.

I know I saw somewhere that Motorola had publicly announced that they don't expect to release the phone until the second half of '05. No?

I'm curious to see exactly what this thing looks like and what the specs are, etc. My favorite Moto phone is still that sleek little Razr. :cool:

I don't get it. Apple's not making big bucks on the songs - the money's in the ipods. So they're going to make it easy for people not to carry ipods - because everyone's got a phone. No matter how small the shuffle is (and I love mine), it's still an extra device you have to haul around. And, hey, the cell phone will probably tell you what song is playing...

I have rarely seen anyone other than mot have anything good to say about the RAZR.

Other than the form factor, of course.

Well, I've heard March is the mobile phone release season. I just recently got my Mac mini and I have Sprint as my carrier. I would be a very happy Sprint customer if the new iTunes-enabled Moto phones are supported by Sprint and work with iSync - preferrably via Bluetooth, but I'll take USB sync'ing. Currently, Sprints offerings with iSync-compatible phones is very limited, only two or three models, none of which I like.

Also, does anyone know are any of the rumored iTunes Moto phones flip-phones? That's my preferred form-factor.

That's the only reason why it is my favorite - I've never actually used one. ;) :cool:

CNet had an article that stated the iTunes phone was the RAZR. Looking for the link... I read it just a couple days ago.

Here is the CNet link.

Moto has said a couple of times that *the* "itunes phone" is the announced-on-thursday "ROKR."

Many phones are expected to get itunes support after the ROKR, but it's meant to be the flagship I think.
