iTunes Phone finally here...

why no ical, mail, address book?

Me to my father: "Yeah, Apple's come out with a new iTunes cell phone." My father to me: "I guess Apple's now trying to find ways to lose money." 'Nuff said

Not a bad deal for the ease of Autofill and iTunes. Battery life is still the #1 concern, IMO. FWIW, I have a Moto v710 from Verizon with a 256mb transflash card in it. I can load it with plenty of MP3s and they sound great. Not as elegant as connecting to iTunes, but hey, it works.

I agree. Too little too late. I know it's a Motorola phone with Apple's IP, but couldn't they have made it just 5% more "Apple-y?" I can't get excited about this. If I ever get a cel phone I'll consider it, but...

Eh. Remember when phones were used to, I dunno, make phone calls? I'm completely uninterested in this phone because I'm also completely uninterested in using a cellular phone for anything other than making phone calls. I also wouldn't even have a cell phone if it weren't so darned handy for making emergency calls. I hate cell phones. I hate being at anyone's beck and call anywhere I go. I hate being with people who feel that they must carry on phone conversations with other people all the frikkin' time (you know those types). I guess somebody will like this phone. They'll also have money to burn. Just get an iPod and press pause whenever your purse/pocket/belt loop rings.

This is a Motorola product, not an Apple product. Who knows but I don't think we'll ever see a phone designed by Apple.

Callum - Carphone warehouse are the first with it, 209 on PAYG and free on contract. Details already on their site now.

Callum : i quit everything iTunes, but i just rebooted and singed into OSX as my brother just incase.

It's me or the new iTunes looks a lot like Mail 2?

I've been very outspoken on my dislike for an iTunes phone. However, maybe Apple DOES realize that it won't be a big seller, but will bring more brand recognition to the company. That's the only incentive I can see for making this iPhone thing. However, I'll just stick with my Motorola Razr V3.
