Do you mean the Motorola ROKR? I think that's already out.

[eliezer]

no. i mean an APPLE phone. the rokr's a motorola.

if apple made a phone it wood b lightyears better.

is it possible that an apple phone will come out next week?

Anything's possible, but no one knows. And since all the major Mac rumors web sites haven't said a word about an Apple phone, I doubt it anytime soon. But, it could be that "one more thing" Apple may introduce on Wednesday, ya never know. We'll just have to wait and see.

If Apple made a phone, chances are it would just be a re-branded Motorola possibly with a different look. On the bright-side, at least it wouldn't be a Nokia.

?? (sorry to get all geek-war-y, but nokia are a far superior phone to motorola. to anyone, really. I hate my V3 so much. i hate motorola, and i would like some harm to come to the OS designers there)

But, on topic, Apple fans have wanted them to make a bloody phone for years. they have never given any signs of doing anything of the sort, and it was a big thing that they even spoke to a mobile phone company about a possible alliance.

it's not coming for years, i'd guess, if ever.

I agree. Motorola = look nice (well, the RAZR does...) but the software is awful.

I'm happy with my W800i anyway. I think that the ROKR has a built in jack port, and the W800i has an adapter, but otherwise, IMO there is no real benefit of the ROKR, over the W800i. The headphones are awful, too, even if the W800i ones aren't perfect.

Damn! I keep waiting for somebody (ANYBODY) to say something nice about the software in the V3, as I lust for mating its sleek lines wirelessly to the rounded countours of my G5 tower. It looks fabulous!

Unfortunately, I have grown used to the rather nice software in the Sony/Ericsson phones, and could never tolerate regressing to something less polished. It's the little things in life that makes you happy - or conversely drives you up the wall.
