while we wait to see it for real

others are creating some very interesting designs which are a lot more appealing to me than moto or the nokia n91 ...

Yep, those look nice. Sadly, Motorola isn't really great in product design - and Apple seems reluctant to enter the mobile phone market themselves. They sure would be able to make my next mobile phone... :/

Not so spectacular looking, but the iTunes capability is awesome.

those are obviously good looking concept fones but the ones that will more than likely carry itunes (the rokr and pebl) are 'real' and are great looking fones!

the question is why the release of the actual handsets alone have been put back? motorola as a company certainly wouldnt put back the release date simply for a third party app to be pre-installed - the revenue they would lose from not releasing the handsets to carriers would be to great. its like apple holding back on releasing a new peice of hardware because a software company that supplies one of the pre-installed peices of software was not ready to ship it yet... whether the carriers are having trouble with the whole itunes concept or not - motorola would want their hardware on the market asap.

so is there a motofone that will be the 'motopod' that the world hasnt seen yet?...
are either the rokr or pebl going through some design changes?...

also - the best thing apple could do long term is to actually make a version of itunesmobile that can be downloaded as an app for any modern fone - acting as an interface for playing and managing tunes - as well as installing the full itunes on the users computer as the central management point... from there they have the perfect springboard for other fone manufactures to say to apple - 'our customers love using itunesmobile - so we now want the full version - the same as motorola...'

There was just a article on the E790 at CNet.

Hopefully this is it...

Haha. How are you supposed to make phone calls?

I'd say this most definitely isn't it. I won't go into the reasons too much, as we've seen them before, but they include the fact that the agreement with Motorola is to produce an iTunes equipped Motorola phone. Oh, and the fact that the mock-up poster has the wrong font and design elements not typical of Apple.
