Look legit to me. No HDD it seems, btw.

For reference, a competing model with 4GB HDD + WLAN, Nokia N91 from the high end Nokia Nseries:

 

[Cauliflower of Love]

Doesn't look too bad.

 

[Doth Togo]

wow!

 

[Matlock]

that's TOTALLY XBOX

 

[Chittagong]

that's TOTALLY XBOX

That's actually the hand of fat J Allard in the picture, and you know which shoes he has.

I still prefer to have a stand-alone phone. No sense in draining your phone's battery just to listen to music. But convergence is the future!

 

[fugimax]

I'd hope it's not black. I can't imagine Apple "letting" Motorola get away with that color-scheme.

My guess is it's a prototype of some sort and final colors had not been decided upon at the time this presentation was assembled. Also, it could be misinformation.

At any rate, if Apple is involved any more than just providing software and IP to use the touch-wheel, this is *not* the design.

 

[xsarien]

That's a lot uglier than I thought it was going to be.

Yeah I feel the same way until they can make some mega super battery for cell phones that will let me play with the extra features all day and still have a few hours of talk time left in reserve.

That Nokia phone looks pretty hot though (standard for all non Ngage Nokia phones).

That Motorola phone is disgusting to look at, a real turd.

 

[nitewulf]

the nokia would look damn slick if it wasnt tapered.

 

[Baconäger]

It seems fairly obvious the Apple design team had absolutely nothing to do with this...

 

[kgHavok23]

that nokia is so much HaWter. wow.

 

[White Man]

So Xbox 360 is trying to look iPod, and iPod is trying to look Xbox?

 

[sprsk]

the motorola looks like a shitty sony erikson phone

 

[AirBrian]

So is it black or dark green?

 

[Jeff-DSA]

It looks like it would be WAAAAAYYY too easy to break off the control stick.

 

[Cerebral Palsy]

Yuck, they should have got Apple to design it. That is hideous.

 

[BigGreenMat]

Man that N91 is SEX. God I want that. When does it come out?

 

[hobart]

Quite frankly... I really don't care...

WHY YOU ASK?!

See if it comes in CDMA and I'll answer politely :/

 

[Hero]

Wow, that Nokia looks hot. When does it come out?

I hope that's not the final color scheme of the iPod phone. It's rancid.

 

[warhead]

Getthefuckouttahere. If your launching an Ipod phone you make sure it at least looks like an Ipod. Not like an Xbox.

 

[mrklaw]

why would you assume it'd look just like an ipod? Ipods look like ipods. phones look like phones (apart from that hulk)

The only thing this does, is play fairplay DRM files, and sync with iTunes. Its a nice hook, for sure, but right now the volume of files are simple unprotected mp3s, so this is more a marketing exercise than anything.

 

[Azure Dream]

I don't think I understand... how can you use the phone number buttons when there's the center bit cut-away for use as the iPod-ish control circle? Or is that just supposed to be for looks? It doesn't really make sense.

 

[Jill Sandwich]

I smell a rat

 

[Andy787]

That.. is horrible.

 

[DECK'ARD]

Some interesting ideas such as combining the touch-wheel and the keypad.

But it looks foul.

 

[golem]

it sounds/looks like a cheap phone designed to take advantage of the ipod's popularity with a quick cash in. Hefty form factor and no built in harddrive, emphasis on wacky design... no thanks

 

[AB 101]

No real opinion here.

I just use a cell phone to make and receive calls.
