Motorola E790 iTunes Phone (Photo) [Updated]

I just saw this at Engadget regarding the itunes Phone.

From Engadget :

This is the moment you’ve been waiting for: obviously we can’t tell you how we got ‘em, but after months of pining away for this, we’ve finally scored some actual live shots of a cellphone running Apple’s new iTunes Mobile software. It might just be an engineering or a production sample, and we can’t guarantee whether this will actually be the first iTunes phone or not, but we do know that we’re looking at a pearly white E790 and that synchronizes with iTunes 4.9 (and has the same autofill menu options as the iPod shuffle—see below). Not sure how much internal memory the phone has, but we do know that this sample shipped with a 128MB TransFlash card that sits opposite the SIM and under the battery and supposedly sounds every bit as good as a full-size iPod and has “excellent bass response”.

if this is true, the carrier is not verizon because verizon doesn't use SIM cards... :(

Was about to point that out, verizon is old tech, they don't use GMA. But the rumors have been for Cingular anyway.

I hope it is for T-Mobile. If it is for Cingular I hope that they will sell an unlocked one.

God i wish verizon would get a cool phone like this... I can only dream

If any of this really has a source... ;) 128MB seems kind of small to me. :( Looks like Transflash goes up to 512MB right now, and 512MB costs at least $60....

After seeing this i doubt that apple could be holding a huge media event about this. I would be VERY dissapointed with apple if they did.

That phone looks really nice. Assuming this transflash memory price goes down (I am going on hearsay from mkrishnan) this could become a viable option in the near future for quit a few people. But imagine if one of the new RAZRs is the iTunes Phone :eek:. There would be pandalerium everywhere... :rolleyes:

There's a little video of the phone updating linked from the Appleinsider forums. Nothing big, but shows the way it works in itunes.

I have verizon and I can't see them doing anything for the customer that doesn't involve using their network exclusively. I went into three stores in my area and they all told me I can't use bluetooth to transfer pics from my phone to my computer. I have to send them through the network via a msg. Thereby using up my pic msg allowance. They've gotten greedy.

Now with their press release about their own download service and music phone, they'll be losing my business...

Imagine if they are ALL itunes phones. Every Motorola model that can do the business storage wise.

Why not?

Who wants their phone model purchase decision to be dependant on iTunes, better for Apple if as many models as possible support it.
