iPod Phone: E790

http://www.engadget.com/entry/1234000887049175/ ... One ugly bas**rd of the Moto phone and iPod colour interface... On the other hand, it's _exactly_ what one expects of a hybrid of those interfaces...

Steve Jobs: "Ugh. That kinda looks, erh, ugly. Like as if you have a mix of analogue and digital. Remember that robot-head from L.E.X.X - THE DARK ZONE? Seven-Ninety? Could you call that phone 790? Thank you."

(LEXX' "790" is a hommage to 'Marvin' in Douglas Adams' H2G2, in a way, and Douglas Adams was a Mac aficionado. So it might all make some strange sense, too. To me, it does. But then it's 03:15h here...) - http://topkool.free.fr/images_seriestv/lexx03.jpg

Captain Code will become famous soon enough
It doesn't look much different than any other phone I've seen. At least it's not that ugly black and green one that was floating around.

Not that spectacular as I thought it would be.

Yeah, I agree. There's not really anything new or innovative. They've just added the iPod interface and software to a phone.

I wasn't expecting anything horribly innovative, as we all knew that it was a Motorola phone that works with iTunes, not an APPLE phone.

Looks nice enough to me. I wouldn't mind getting one once the Cingular contract is up, soon.

I wonder if there will be a software or firmware update for other motorola phones to support itunes. My v635 supports mp3 playback and additional memory up to 256mb. Would be nice to combine it with itunes..

Not wanting to be a troll but I find it totally uninspiring, am I the only one who just wants a phone to be a phone? (To me the rest seems like junk to make people keep buying and producing yet more waste.)
