Motorola SLVR L7 with iTunes (Photos)

[fitinferno]

It's a shame (again)... the idea of an iTunes phone has all the makings for something great.

The picture comparison you made was excellent...and yeah, apparently the point of the SLVR is to appeal to people who like the RAZR but don't want a flip phone...so it's fitting it will be exactly like a RAZR but flattened...no originality from Moto...they don't want to take the chance of losing out on what they see as a valuable market by going different on the design, probably.

That site made FF crash on me. Twice. Weird.

Anyway, when is it coming to the US? I want one.

I will stick with my Sony Ericsson K750i. No it doesn't support protected music files from iTunes, but it does support the AAC MP4 files that iTunes rips to by default as well as MP3. (Probably ACTRAC3 also but who cares?)

The K750i also has an autofocus 2MP camera and can accept a Memory Stick Duo Pro up to 2GB!

You can also compress 3GP and MP4 videos and play them back on the K750i.

Hey Moto! GET WITH THE PROGRAM! You are not even close to the competition!!!

I wish Verizon could go with Sony phones =/

Agreed... hmmm, I wonder if the PEBL will have iTunes on it?

ive seen a lot about the PEBL what is so special about it?

Bluetooth headphones sound cool, but from everything I've read Moto will sell mini USB headphones that work with it as well. Damn damn damn. Wish I wasn't with T-Mobile.

You can get unlocked rokrs (and any other cingular phone) over the internet. I've bought quite a few cingular phones from my client who owns a large phone store here in Houston. Including Razr, Treo and now the SX66. I just buy the unlocked phone, put my sim card in, and everything is pretty much set.

Don't hold your breath. The hardware and software Motorola uses on its CDMA phones is significantly different from that used on its GSM phones. Add in the fact that a number of the North American carriers use BREW instead of Java for add-in applications (assuming the CDMA carriers don't want to partner with Apple, a given for Sprint and probably also for Verizon), and you have a non-trivial porting situation.
